My sister-in-law Liz added a lot of fabulous handmade touches to her sons’ monster-themed 2nd birthday party, including a whole pile of brightly-colored felt monsters she sewed for party favors.
Meet Mr. Cheeseface, who Phillip christened before we were even out of the parking lot – inspired, I assume, by the smiling creature’s yellow color. Mr. Cheeseface has shown up in different places around our house, but he mostly likes to hang out in our car and accompany us on trips.
Recently, a friend suggested I should pose him in our travel photos, Flat Stanley style. I liked the idea, but I also have this individualist streak that tends to make me feel I cannot just do what someone is already doing. I need my own twist. So instead of Mr. Cheeseface being front-and-center in our photos, I’ll make him part of the scene and let you guys find him.
He’ll start popping up in posts soon!

I LOVE that idea. Looking forward to trying to find him.
I had no idea those little fleece monsters would turn out so popular with everyone else. We have a lot at home (I guess i didn’t stress the party favor aspect strongly enough?) that are largely ignored. I will definitely keep my eyes open for Mr. Cheeseface (I think he had that name shortly after Phillip laid eyes on him.)
