This time of year is always the busiest for us at the Monster Factory. It's really beginning to feel like Santa's workshop...for real. There are monsters, monster parts, pattern pieces, eyes, and fur everywhere, and I mean everywhere. We've managed to cover every surface with monsters!

One of our biggest challenges is finding space for not only the plush toys, but the bags of stuffing that eventually go into the monsters. Two storage rooms later and we're still feeling squished. Here's little peak at what it's like at our studio these days.

This is Catherine, our resident wordsmith. She uses this storage room as a make shift office from time to time when the studio gets too rowdy, but as you can see it has been taken over by monsters and giant bags of stuffing. Sorry Catherine!

Before we can sew anything monsters need to be cut out and placed in these incredibly neat piles. And look, Buddy's helping us out.

After the monster pieces are cut out they're ready to sewn. Here is Mr. Creeps looking very sweet as he's getting sewn up.

When the bundle of monsters is all sewn up, they sit in a pile and wait to be stuffed up. There are lots of these kinds of piles hanging around the studio right now.

Here is a pile of Lewis!
