Citizens of the Uglyverse 1-6

Yahooo!  Thanks to David Horvath for sharing this pic! Now we have some names to go with those adorable faces.

Uglydolls 2011

You can have your own indoor rainbow!  Just look at those colors.  I plan on adopting each and every one of them.  The cute meter is going off the charts this year with the creative offerings of Sun-Min Kim and David Horvath.

Uglydolls are an amazing thing.  They may look to some like toys, but really they are family members.  Many of our Uglys are not content to just sit on a shelf. It's a hold-me, hug-me, photograph-me, take-me-with-you sort of thing around here. We wouldn't dream of having a movie night without our Uglydolls around us to share it with.

So when I see this photo I'm looking ahead to some serious one-on-one snuggling, some cookie and tea parties, and some antics as yet to be revealed.  Come on home sweet Uglys.  The door is open.

Now if I could just find some names to go with those faces my bliss would be complete.

Big Toe Mug Meets Mr. Coffee

They were a match made in Ugly heaven.

When asked how he feels about his friendship with Mr. Coffee Big Toe replied, "It's very fulfilling".

Rainbows and Cookie Jars

It was a Rainbows and Cookie Jars kind of day.  First came the rainbow right over my house.  And then driving right underneath it came the Uglydoll delivery truck (aka Fedex.)

Rainbow. Uglydoll.  A rather perfect moment. 

The Uglydoll ceramics are wonderful.  Babo Cookie Jar is bigger than he looks online.  He's ample. Of course he is.  He's Babo! You can get a very respectable cache of large cookies in there.

  

A picture cannot do justice to the vibrant colors.  They're rich colors that make you smile.  The mug boxes proclaim they "make you happy". Indeed they do!  I'm happy as can be right now. 

I was not surprised at the super high quality of the ceramics.  I mean, it IS Uglydoll.  Yet I'm impressed. The finish is smooth, the handles feel sturdy, the paint around the eyes and teeth is flawless. 

Move over Denby.  There's a new mug in town. 

My recommendation:  GET some!  Maybe yours will come with a rainbow too! 

Vinyl Chef Cook-Off

The wait is over.  The  Vinyl Chef Cook-Off  is under way.  All of our Chef Choco's think they are the best, but we know where the proof is!

With  Minty by his side Orange Chef Choco offered the first challenge with his attractive, delicious, and mostly healthy acorn squash stuffed with nuts, raisins, cranberries, and cherries. And sugar!

Check back as the competitors step up with their own special recipes.  The winning recipe will be posted here on the Ugly Chronicles for all to enjoy.
We will also share any recipe you see if you ask.

Garden Wage

Early in the morning Garden Wage can often be found shuffling around the plants with is water can in hand.  He talks with the flowers and always knows exactly what they need.

What's better than a green thumb?  An ORANGE thumb!  And Wage has two of those.

Abima Brothers A Day in the Life

Max Abima used his extensive skills as a Landscape Engineer to supervise the spring clean-up and planning on our little acre of land. Max made certain we did the most important things first, and took snack breaks.

While his big brother Max was busy with the great outdoors, Little Virgil Abima turned his attentions to selecting fabric for his new cape. He's worn his holiday cape without complaint, but is more than ready for non-seasonal attire.  He chose two patterns.  One for classy occasions and the other for everyday wear.

It's a busy day in the Ugly Shire.

And hey!  I think that's my hat!
