Stanley's pet octopus had a real thing for fashion.
Stanley gently sat her down one day to tell her
that she would have to control her horrible
"Cravings" for socks and stockings. He explained
that he simply could not borrow against his
allowance any more. He was already 3 weeks
in the hole because of her cravings.
hee hee hee!
Happy weekend everyone!

So this is where all the socks go in my house -octopi. - it's awesome.
Fun story! Would like one of her socks to my own, They are so pretty :)
Vanessa, I love how your illos always come with a silly story. I think your art is magnificent on its own, but your humor and creativity just shine with the accompanying prose!
Cute socks are so hard to resist...
Oh this is just delightful! I love it Vanessa! Thanks for the giggle!
So cute Vanessa!
oh so incredibly cute, I want a pet octopus, love the little pink bow on her head too.
LOL...this made me 'wow' seeing this cute octopus crave for fanciful socks! what a creative take on craving!!
Great work! Delightful even! Seriously I touched an octopus the other day. It stuck to my had. It was "Floating Lab" for kids to see and touch marine creatures. Cool stuff.
Whoa! Great idea. Nice socks!
Here in Spain we have an excelent dish: the galician octopus. I thing the colors of Stanley´s octopus would give it an awesome touch, he, he.
Fun story! And you have an special "touch" in your illustrations, some special charming... They make me stop, watch and enjoy...
how cute!!! i love the colorful socks!
Octopus and colorful socks! What a combo :)
Ha ha... that is one wild looking dude! Great colors and one very brave therapist :).
I don't really know what to say. Each sock and stocking is so original. I didn't realize that Octopi were so very stylish. And how fitting for the young man to put himself in hock for such a fashion conscious, leggy woman.
You are most brilliant, my lady. I cannot wait to get my fix from your blog. It makes me smile incessantly. I'm truly addicted.
You have a great weekend.
what a lovely illustration! really nice Vanessa! :)
Vanessa - I love your blog! Your work is really fun to scroll through.
Also, thanks for your comment on my blog. I agree with you -- I often get lazy and neglect to show proper appreciation. Here's hoping I can keep up good habits!
Gorgeous story, brilliant! Looking forward to spending more time at your blog.
Very imaginative!!.Dear Vanessa, I've included a translator in my blog in order for you to have the content in English. Regards. Monica
Love the illustration...cute and funny!
Great idea! I really love ittttt ..sugar is my favourite!!!
I love all those yummy socks! I too have a thing for great socks
oh poor cephlapod, no more fancy feet! You work is so fantastic.
Wooohooo, Vanessa! I bet that octopus does a lot of slipping and sliding across the waxed floors when Stanley's gone, just like Tom Cruise. That's why she keeps needing new socks. She keeps wearing them out!
Oh my goodness, girl. What is it like in your head, I wonder! The stories you come up with!! HAhahaha! They are just as fun as your illustrations!
Hi Nessa. So glad you stopped by. You know I mean every word I say. You are such a precious soul, I can feel it. And we will have a leisurely talk one day, sharing the wondrous works of God in our lives.
You have a great rest of the weekend, my Dear.
