Month of Monkeys: Day 25

This is a baby knee sock so it has a wee little body and long gangly legs. It makes me giggle a little.

Month of Monkeys: Day 24

Back to our regularly scheduled programming of monkeys that I've actually made!

Month of Monkeys: Day 23

Okay, today I am cheating a little bit. It is 95 billionty degrees outside and I spent my monkey sewing time unearthing the airco and getting it set up. Instead I am going to show you something else rather special! This is a sock monkey that my mom's grandmother made in the late 1950s for the grandkids to play with when they visited her. He was in really rough shape when he resurfaced from storage. He was filthy and full of holes. My mom said she thought he probably had kittens born on him at some point in his life and it looked to me like a mouse decided to eat part of his shirt. She gave him a bath and repaired him and I think he looks brilliant. I decided he needed to be called Grandpa Monkey. I love his sculpted face! And it's proof positive that monkey making is in my blood!

Month of Monkeys: Day 22

I think maybe this one needs some big floppy red shoes to match his red nose.

Month of Monkeys: Day 21

This little guys name is Dumbo. You probably don't need to use too much imagination to figure out why.

Month of Monkeys: Day 20

This poor little monkey has had a hard life. Something happened in the process of being made and shoved in the cupboard for a few months that resulted in random holes and cuts in places. I don't remember if I knew about it and that's why it got shoved in the cupboard or if Mr Jummy started snacking on it in his spare time but I had to get really good at monkey suturing to keep this one's guts from falling out.

Month of Monkeys: Day 19

I have come to realize that I really have a LOT of argyles in my stash! This little fellow is also showing off our cute "new to us" deco clock!
