What goes on at Monkey Fuzz Headquarters?

Monkey Fuzz HQ has a lot going on. New monkeys are in production all the time, and the existing monkeys are always excited to meet their new companions before they go off into the big wide world on new adventures.

Starting as a pair of socks, once each monkey has been created into a blossoming lil dude, he or she then goes about settling into the way of life at MF HQ before deciding where in life he or she wants to end up. These monkeys start a journey of self discovery and it really is quite special watching them develop their own character and personality. But it doesn't end there! We are getting regular updates from past MF HQ residents and they are all enjoying themselves on their new adventures. Look them up on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Monkey-Fuzz-HQ/194729480572478) for more updates.

Bart is our most recent departee. Bart is a lil turquoise dude who has been at HQ for a few weeks. Over these weeks, he has discovered he has a thirst for adventure and is an intrepid explorer. He has been on 'safari' in Doncaster (he has a fairly active imagination!), and visited the jungle in the back garden  several times. Although he will miss his friends at MF HQ, he has ultimately decided he'd like to go and live abroad, and is currently due to leave for Christchurch, New Zealand very shortly. We will miss the lil guy, but we do know he will be very happy in his new home with Kat, who has promised to allow Bart to take her on lots of adventures, and will send us regular updates on how he is getting on. Bon voyage Bart!

(NB Kat is very much looking forward to Bart's arrival, and is wanting to be surprised when he turns up. For that reason we have not included a photo of the lil guy, but when we get news of his safe delivery, we will add some pictures)

Monkey Tales - Introducing Caroline and Fredbert

Greetings!

Well first of all we would like to say a big hello and welcome from Monkey Fuzz HQ. Whether you have found us by general browsing or via a link from one of our other sites we are happy to have you.

So who are Caroline and Fredbert and what is Monkey Fuzz?

Simply put, Monkey Fuzz is a collection of lovingly hand-made sock monkeys. The first ever Monkey Fuzz sock monkey is Gilbert, who was created by Caroline for the lovely Michelle for her birthday. Gilbert is a stripey dude with a pink face and quickly settled into Michelle's way of life. From an early age, he went to explore the Northumbrian coast spending his first nights in a wigwam,  visiting the likes of Banburgh Castle and Holy Island. He has since been on a road trip around Europe in an orange campervan, along with various locations within the UK.

Michelle's friends thought Gilbert was that cool that they wanted their very own sock monkeys. So along came Frank - a bit of a mismatch of sock body parts but still very loveable ('Frankenmonkey'), and Eric the Bananamonkey. Bless Alicia and Mark who unknowingly both requested to adopt these monkeys for each other at the same time - awwww!

It wasn't long before Fredbert came along. Fredbert happily travels with Caroline, the creator of Monkey Fuzz, in 'The Slug', her blue-flowered red box car (it looks a bit like Postman Pat's van with flowers on, apparantly). Fredbert is typically mischievious. but very laid back and likes to snooze on the dashboard. His friend Cyril currently lives in a caravan on the Norfolk coast taking in the fresh sea air with Caroline's mum and dad. Reports say that all monkeys are very happy.

Since Gilbert, Frank, Eric, and Cyril departed Monkey Fuzz Headquarters, many more monkeys gave gone to new homes. If you are a Monkey Fuzz momma then please do keep us updated with how your monkey dude is doing. We love to hear their stories!

Ta ta for now,

Caroline & Fredbert
