A Love Bug bit me!
Its toxin flows in my veins –
Making me dizzy.
Insane in the brain.
Body is fevered and blushed –
Skin drenched and teeth clenched.
Longing to be crushed –
Hearts pounding as we embrace.
Please don’t make it stop!
Madness mars my face.
Animal with pure instinct –
Brash and unrefined.
I growl from this pain –
Savaging you in my mind.
Want so fierce I faint…
There’s a FUN giveaway happening at SMM for a lovely felt sculpture by JarAssic Mini Monsters.

A Word From Zoe Wall
My name is Zoe Wall and I live in Big Bear California, but am originally from the North East of England.
I’m a HUGE monster nerd, and a fan of bugs and creepy crawlies. JarAssic Mini Monsters was formed when I decided to create a whole menagerie of weird little monsters that combine these loves. I design and needle felt each little monster with its own personality. I also design and crochet cup cozies that just ooze character. I think that everybody needs a little quirkiness!

amazing what kind of impact a lttle bug can do…a bit of the Kafka metamorphis, waking up (emotionally) and finding you’re not what you used to be.

The serum uses a rare radioactive element which is not commonly found on Earth. Supply is limited.

It’s good then that SMM will soon dabble in astronomy. Perhaps we’ll send our most skilled astronaut to collect the serum from a distant planet.

What you need to do, Ivor, is brush melted chocolate all over your body, roll around in powdered sugar, then sprinkle yourself with nuts (not your cold nuts, though😀). Then wait for a full moon. Something is bound to bite you then. Good luck, my friend. 💋

No, but my dear mum was the best Lamington and sponge maker in West Geelong !!, couldn’t resist them, and if you were in the kitchen at the right time, you got to lick the chocolate off the spoon used to spread
the home-made chocolate over the lamingtons, oh so many thanks, just brought back some wonderful childhood memories…. loved being in the kitchen with mum… xx
