Just a flying visit from me I am surrounded in monkey skins and having a productive day today for a change. No distractions - bliss!
Here is a pic of Dylan who I have made as gift for my friend's son's birthday on Sunday. I am going to wrap him up with either some sweets of a new book can't decide yet.

I practically did this. Spidey has a friend now (will get pics up later) and they both toppled off the shelf above my bed and landed on my head last night! :rotfl:No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I use nylon thread - its see through and has a bit of stretch to it, something that works great with socks as they have a lot of stretch too! In my local dun elm, its £1.09 for 2 reels in clear and a transparent black.. HTH xxSo much for 'Money Saving'

I hadnt a clue about it til I asked my mum to machine sew me some monkeys up, and she sent me down two reels of the stuff, I must say it is great stuff, specially if you stuff your monkey by the cr*tch as when sewing the hole up, you can see the thread
