I am a hand made sock monkey and I would like to share some of my experiences and friends with you. I am not for sale: but my friends and cousins will be

Once upon a time there was a tiny sock monkey who dreamed of being a ballerina.

Not the official live music at Kingston Court Care Home today at their Summer Fair. We've had a lovely afternoon, thank you to all the staff.

31/08/2024

This is where you'll find us today, would you be nice to see some of you supporting this fund raiser event. You might even win a monkey.

29/08/2024

Two more very young ladies have been practising their sewing techniques. I think they've done a wonderful job of making their own sock monkey.

28/08/2024

Do you know that Monkey Tales offer workshops to help you create your own Memory Bear? Dates and times to suit you. Please PM if you would like to chat about it.

The Monkey Tales gang had such a lovely time today they will be back again tomorrow but with a rather later start time than the official start of 11am.

24/08/2024

We're all set up and ready. Lots going on.

Shout out to all you knitters - we need your help to create a poppy display 🙏

We need red poppies with a black centre, either knitted or crocheted to create a stunning poppy display in conjunction with Carlisle Matters to commemorate Armistice Day and November 11th Remembrance Sunday.

Size doesn’t matter at all and the centre can be wool or a black button but as long as it’s tied on and long ends are left at the back so we can attach them to netting.

Along with The Lanes, the 'yarnbombing' display is also going on netting at the Tourist info centre steps and the bollards of Castle Street.

Please help if you can in making a poppy, or share to those who may be able to, so we can united the community in a stunning tribute and thank you to those that fought for our freedom. Thank you 👏

Please hand in the finished poppies, leaving your details, to the the Management Suite, that is on Level One of the car park, with the office being near to the bollards.

Thank you - we can only do this with your help 🙏

So sad that they've had to cancel so I've now got some hero's and Disney Princesses who are looking for homes.

20/08/2024

Murder, train, afternoon tea - there is a connection. (But no banana sandwiches).

19/08/2024

Two young ladies have been improving their sewing skills and have created a sock monkey each. I think they've done a pretty good job.

18/08/2024

I think I've developed a new species. Let me introduce you to Socktopus, or, since there's more than one, does that make the Socktopie.

17/08/2024

Today we're at the Table Top Sales- Carlisle the dilemma is, do I take Fargo?

15/08/2024

Monkey tails.

13/08/2024

Monkey Tales wont be despatching any Memory Bears from the beginning of September until the end of October so you only have a short time to get you order in.

12/08/2024

Not a bad way to fund raise.

11/08/2024

I love taking the Monkey Tales gang out on the road to various events. I'm not much of a sales person but I do enjoy all the interaction with everyone and Dalston Show yesterday was no exception. There's always someone different to talk to. Had a lovely chat with the guys from Andys man Club Carlisle they're there for all you guys who just need someone to listen.
Why this picture you ask. Well a Super Hero's fan recognised it as Batman. Thank you Dalston Show. Get August 9th 2025 in your diary now.

10/08/2024

What a tremendous effort from the village of Dalston for putting on such a wonderful Dalston Show . What a super day it's been so a big thank you to you all. Thanks also to everyone who stopped for a chat and especially to those who have rehomed a monkey. I'm just about ready for bed now.

10/08/2024

We survived the night so we're all ready for our day at Dalston Show. The sun is also here.

09/08/2024

It looks like only little people will get into our 'little top' which because of the high winds when we were trying to put it up ready for the Dalston Village Festival is very low. But it will be raised tomorrow when the wind dies down and everyone is welcome to pop in and say hi.

08/08/2024

I've been dealing with royalty today. Disney royalty.

07/08/2024

When you see it, you see it. A clue, I'm making preparation for Silloth Carnival

25/05/2024

The result of today's workshop. Didn't they do well? A fitting finale to the week in Pop-up 29 .

Not the official live music at Kingston Court Care Home today at their Summer Fair. We've had a lovely afternoon, thank you to all the staff.

A bit ironic that the previous piece of music playing was 'Sound of Silence'.

I don't think Fargo and the rest of the Monkey Tales gang will need their sun screen today.

It's not every day that you get to hear a couple of banjo playing sock monkeys. They almost managed to play together 😉

As usual I haven't taken many photos of our time at Wild on the Wall Family Music Festival . We've high and low points. Lows must be the mud and the river that ran through the gazebo and the absolute down pour as we were packing up. The highs - some of the amazing kids that came to do the workshops and many of them are now well and truly fans of Fargo and the rest of the Monkey Tales gang. We'd love to see any pictures you have taken of Fargo and the gang.

Everyone should experience this sort of peace and quiet once in a while. Fargo fans, make sure you watch until the end.

The bird watchers come from far and wide to see these. We just waited for them to come to us.

Fargo refused to get into the car to go to the Lambousa Market today. Do you think he knew what was going to happen? As it turned out none of the other monkeys got out of the car.

It's hiding somewhere in this bush. I hope it doesn't disturb Fargos sleep. He has a busy day tomorrow. Back at the Lambousa Market after a two year absence. I wonder if anyone remembers Fargo?

Fargos having a dancing lesson with some ladies who are doing a great job fund raising for their charities.

Today is national thank you day so we would like to thank you all. Those who have bought monkeys, those who follow Fargos adventures and like and make comments on the posts, those who share post so their friends can enjoy Monkey Tales, those who stop and say hello and have a chat when we are doing a stall, those who have looked out for his lost items and everyone else who we may have missed. You are all appreciated and without you Monkey Tales would be a very lonely place.
