I know it’s October and all, but I have a thing for monster-themed stuff pretty much year-round. Since it IS October, I thought it’d be extra fun to dig around on Etsy and see what the wide world of crafty handmakers has up its sleeve.

The girl who runs Stuff It Creations is a friend of mine and it is AWESOME to see her listed here :). She’s amazingly talented and her plushies are super adorable! I own a fair few (including a fair amount of tribble plushies) and I’ve started a collection for my little boy.
