Monster on the Move

As the days get shorter and there's less gardening to take up my time, I can shift back into monster-making mode. Soon I'll be adding more to my etsy shop but first I wanted to set one monster free in the wild:

The Toy Society started in Australia but has spread worldwide -- the idea is to drop the toys where kids (or grownups) will find them and take them home. This monster, Glumpy, will be my first drop but I have also signed up for the worldwide Christmas Toy Drop. Check my Flickr stream to see where Glumpy was dropped and who found her!

Introducing the ToothMonster

New from Cheryl's Creative Miscellany: The ToothMonster, a little pillow that eats children's teeth overnight and provides coins (or even folded bills) in the morning.


I was inspired by my daughter, who thinks the Tooth Fairy is creepy, to make the ToothMonster. She thinks he's creepy, too, but in a different way. I plan to make more ToothMonsters soon! [Shop Listing]

I've been working on some other little monsters, too -- keyfobs -- you can see some sneak peeks in my Flickr stream.

Miscellaneous Monsters

Hi! I'm Cheryl (a.k.a. victriviaqueen) of Cheryl's Creative Miscellany and one of the many things I love to create is monsters which is why I am here!

Many of my monsters are from the same family -- the Huggitz family -- and each one comes with his or her own story. Some are happy, some are blue, and some are just plain silly.

Lately, I have been working on monsters that are a little weirder than the Huggitz clan -- instead of having two eyes, some have only one, others have many.

All of the monsters are soft and cuddly and are just looking for new homes.

I've been sewing for years but the one thing I can't stand is following patterns... luckily my monsters are individuals and are well-suited for freehand design. Whenever I get the chance, I use reclaimed/recycled fabrics and scraps from other projects to make the monsters. All their features are hand-sewn with embroidered accents but their bodies are machine-stitched for strength.
