    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,
    it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    Oooh, I can't believe this thread is still going :D

    Glad to see loads of people monkeying... Here's a little something I knocked up on Friday for my Aunt... She's starting chemo in a couple of weeks and thought it might cheer her up... Although I had some tears from DD when she found out we weren't keeping it...

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Krysaltips your sock horse / donkey? is so clever - I'm sure your aunt will be very cheered up! I want to try making a sock giraffe soon, although can't quite work out the best way to make it.

    Well I'm all excited today, I'm getting my very own sewing machine. I've been borrowing my MIL's and it's far too high-tech for me!!!

    Sock monkey heaven!!!

  • Yay, I've just finished my first monkey, shes tucked up in a gift bag ready for Mums birthday tomorrow. I asked Mum if she wanted part of her present early incase it suffocated, now shes really confused.
    In simple terms can some tell me or point me the right direction of how to load photos on here

  • Thanks Rusty.
    Well if I've got it right, this is a picture of my first sock monkey made as part of Mums birthday present. The dog keeps trying to pinch it and my little niece is scared of it :confused: Can't wait to make some more
