The first Tootsie Monster, made in 2009 

They're rare, only a few have followed since.

Most of the things that live under your floorboards are mischievous, and often they're little thieves.

Some steal keys, some steal socks, some take that thing, where did you put it, it was right there... 

This guy? What does he steal?

He steals toes.

Did you ever get that feeling at night when you are lying in your bed, that if you dangle your foot over the side, something is going to zip by and bite it?

 

That's this guy.
He runs around late at night on those big legs, snipping at the exposed and juicy toes of sleeping people.

 

 

But, at only eight inches high, how does he reach those plump little piggies?

Simple, he just stands up...

 

Tootsie Monsters are hand-sewn of wool felt and wire, with embroidered and beaded details. Each one is unique with its own special features and personality.  

These Tootsie Monsters are from my archives and are all a few years old.  New beasts are coming this month, with a fresh and more colorful take on this old creepy creature.

 

 

...watch yer toes.
