Hi all

Heres a couple of monkeys I made for one of my work colleagues for her grand daughters. She asked me to do High School Musical monkeys, I hope this is what she had in mind



and here is a pic of the little gym bags I made for them

How fab are they!!! Love the top/sock idea - I shall keep an eye out for some suitable ones. What have you made the skirts from??

Here's my latest offerings - can't remember who made one originally but I pinched your idea.

I've used pipe cleaners in the ears so they can bend around.... The one of the left is called "Grump" - the one on the right is "Wibble"......I gave them to my DD's yesterday as we all have flu and they needed cheering up....they loved them.

Wow some fab sock monkeys on here!

Stardrops you should list the high school musical ones on ebay ... I bet you would get loads of bids! then just make up a couple more

Loving Gump and Wibble

Hi Pooky

The skirts are hairbands. I got them from home bargains as part of a set for 79p:D

Pooky it was me, pinch away! I 'borrowed' the idea from a magazine with a tiny little pic anyway. Ive been putting the plastic covered gardening wire in the ears, I couldnt find my oh's pipe cleaners!
