Snuggle Monkey

So, everyone on the planet is making money on the internet but me.  I'm not really ready to start making money online myself . . . but, I could be soon.  And, I blame the ESK (evil side kick).  ESK is very much into making stuff and is trying to sell it.  She has a good eye for color, design, what not.  And, I am totally a victim of peer pressure.  

A friend is setting up a table at a local craft fair next month and wanted stuff to sell.  ESK is making jewelry.  I have decided to give a hand at it.  I have spent the last several weeks making two items for sale.  What isn't sold at the craft fair may show up on ETSY.

My first item is a baby sling.  I tested it on a cat . . . but you could put human babies in them, I guess, if you were so inclined.

This is my friend who started this whole mess . . . but since she's going to handle the craft table, raking in huge amounts of cash for me while I'm drunk and on the floor of a bar of NOLA, who am I to complain.  No, that's not me in the sling.  She had a "toy" monkey in her office.  The slings can be one sided or reversable . . . with cotton or flannel.  I can make them to size the person who has the baby to sling around.


My second item is a "soothy sack" . . . which you can heat up in the microwave and put on your achy muscles . . . or chill in the freezer to relieve the puffyness of a hard night's drinking.

I'm calling my line
"Snuggle Monkey."  
If you want one for your very own . . . send me a comment with your email.  I'll not publish the comment, but I will email you and maybe we can work something out.  

I'm thinking the slings will go for $25 for single sided and $35 for reversable.  The sacks will depend upon the size . . . $5 for eye pillow sized up to $20 for drape across your shoulder sized.
