A Citrus-y Haiku:

It takes twenty three

Bushels of ruby grapefruits

To dye my mustache!

This month’s Plush Team Challenge is to create something inspired by Las Vegas. So naturally, I thought of lobster. It’s pretty obvious I’ve never been Las Vegas.

I thought to myself, people eat lobster in fancy restaurants in Las Vegas, don’t they? So, just to be sure, I googled it and found this disturbing phenomenon. The Lobster Zone.

I in no way condone this practice. It seems a bit gross and a bit cold to me. But I’m no vegetarian, and neither is this Crustacean Critter. Thems the breaks.

I present to you, the Lobster Eating Lobster! Love it or hate it, you can snatch it up while it lasts in the Plush Team shop.

A Cannibalistic Haiku:

My friendships are few.

But when I feel lonely, I

Just fill up my plate!

Here’s another new monster who will be up in my shop soon.

In other news, you can check me out here and here. Word is spreading!

Did I mention that Romeo DanceCheetah has been crowned the air guitar champion of the United States of America? That’s right folks, the costume I worked so hard on all those years ago is heading to Finland in a few weeks. We wish the costume and the champ luck. USA! USA!

Pitchfork is just around the corner, and the PterodactylPants craft-labs are abuzz with excitement.

This coven of Winged Sprites will be there! Will you?

a Fluttery Haiku:

We’re trouble makers,

But our fuzzy wings make us

Irresistible.

This litter monster can hardly contain itself. It is a true hedonist, hence the drool all over its face!

After it eats everything in sight, it will use its wings to make a smooth getaway.

Big news, folks. This little drooly critter and many others will be available for purchase in person, from me, at my booth at the Pitchfork Music Festival next weekend! This is huge, and not only because Robyn will be there performing Friday night! The lineup all weekend is jam-packed with awesome artists, and the Coterie Chicago craft show is jam-packed with talent, as well. Buy some tickets, come see the show, and stock up on handmade goodies.
