When Witchy Met Froggy

Witchy and Froggy have been inseparable since they met many many years ago on a swamp.  Witchy was out looking for ingredients for one of her potions when she heard a tiny 'ribbet ribbet' coming from the water and went over to investigate.  There, sat happily on a lily pad, was baby Froggy!  He hopped into her basket and off they went home together.

Froggy has been Witchy's familiar ever since.  Being a familiar means that he helps her with her magic spells.  Froggy is her beloved and trusted companion and never leaves her side.

They are growing old gracefully together and keeping up with the times and are rather partial to an occasional pouty selfie! 

New Characters Under Development

As ever, it's all go in the 'Mary Monkey and Friends' development departments.  

Granny M is working on a new character for the books and Jo is working on another new sock monkey friend for Mary.  

Just like Santa's elves in their workshop throughout the year, we are busy knitting and sewing little creatures to create new characters for you to enjoy and make part of your lives and memories as we enjoy having them as part of ours. 

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone involved for your support and for helping to start our new adventure together!

Growing Family

It's been another busy evening in our house!  The sock monkey family is ever expanding here with lots of new characters to share adventures with me in my next books.  I will soon be introducing more of my sock friends who may not all be monkeys...!

My new friends don't grow on trees; some are the result of lots of care and patients from Jo our creative director and photographer or Granny M who bought Christmas Bear to life or Mumsie (Yvonne) who bought Witchey into our lives.  Both Granny M and Mumsie are gifted with a talent for knitting.  This is not a talent that Jo possesses, unless the creature happens to be square - Owl.  Jo specialises  in monkeys but is branching out to design different sock creatures who I will be able to introduce you to soon.  In the mean time, I have been patiently awaiting the arrival of Woolly Monkey...

Almost there...

Hello Woolly Monkey!  Welcome to the family!
