New England Rules!


There are so many things to be thankful for and the list for us New Englanders is long. Awesome sports teams, cool accents, being wicked smaht, just to name a few. I think the item at this top of many people's list is the folaige in the fall. October was really mild here in southeastern
Massachusetts causing the trees to still have colorful leaves in late November, rather than the regular bare trees associated with late autumn. Massasoit is one of those trees. He loves his outrageous look and that he gets to rock it extra hard core! Massasoit is one of the few trees I have made this year -
I have been having this fascination with random animals and plants.

Awesome, isn't it?

UCT Fair Ruled (as always)

The Upper Cape Tech (UCT) Fair was a success for the third year in a row, for me and my band of sockmonstahs. I met a lot of nice people and saw even more past customers who are very pleased with their monstah(s) they added to their families.

When I first arrived, I saw that they had moved my spot; much to my dismay. However, when I saw my new spot I was more than pleased; I was the first booth you saw when you walked into the cafeteria. A lot of my loyal customers mentioned that this made the sockmonstahs a lot easier to find.

What was even more exciting than awesome spots and good times is that I unveiled a new species of sockmonstah - the sloth!
I was inspired by those weird fuzzy tree dwellers to make these guys part of the sockmonstah family (or sockmonstahidae for you biology nerds). Their body style is slightly different than the traditional sockmonstahs. They can hold on to trees, a ceiling lamp, or an arm via the 3 velcro toes they possess on their hands and feet. What could be more awesome?...


...Stay tuned!
