.....I am on a mission.....

.....I am on a mission this year to make all my (whisper very quietly), 'Christmas presents'.....

 

....now i know your probably thinking 'oh good grief, what is this woman thinking, we haven't even had summer yet'....yes i know this, but i say it to myself each year that passes that i will make all my presents, and then before Ive even put my sun tan lotion away its November again and I've run out of time.......again........but not this year, oh  no.......i started back in April, so this way i can take it nice and slow and not feel pressured to get it all made quickly........(we'll see!)

 

 

......So back in April my first gifty made was a........

 

 

 

 

 

 

......Socky sock monkey.....

....Oh i do love a socky monkey.....and this one has particularly long long legs....

 

 

 

.....good for tieing in knots....

 

....he has patches sewn on, and......

 

 

 

....odd buttons for eyes....

 

 

 

.....i have to say, he was great fun to make, i new those knee high chunky socks would come in useful for something...

 

 

......if you fancy making a socky sock monkey, there is a free template on line, just type in 'sock monkey pattern' into your search engine and there it is.....

 

 

.....Christmas gifty number one done...

 

 

 

.....see you soon...
