Oh angelkay i'm sure your friends will love them for 1 because they're so cute and 2 because they're home made

thanks chatty. the latest 2 are for my friend who specifically asked for one each for her kids so i know she will appreciate hers but i have made for another friends 2 boys and i know that she puts a value on things by how much they cost rather than the work involved in making something unique and time effort spent etc. i'm guessing that she would rather i just chucked £10 into a card which is making me think twice about giving them. i like them and it keeps me occupied making them. my husband works away from home for 3 weeks at a time and it fills my eveings when the kids are in bed and keeps my hands busy and away from the biscuit tin lol

I have 2 to make today and so far not even started them yet lol. Have to do one for school and one for a boy. Only problem with the boy one is I have only got pink socks.

All the new monkeys are fab, stripy ones definately seem to have more appeal based on the ones my friends have chose. I'll try to upload a pic of the one ive made for my oh's dad for christmas later, he's a minister so his monkey has a dog collar on and a little felt bible in his hand! If anyone was looking for a reasonably priced sewing machine Aldi had one on sunday for £38. I got one the other day and its great, really simple to use and does a lot more then some of the more expensive ones. And even better my mums offered to pay for it as part of my xmas pressie :j

Just thought id show you all a few of my latest monkeys, these were for my nanas care homes christmas fair to sell. And my nana insisted she needed another one before I handed them over as well!







Sorry ive stretched the thred so much, I dont know how I managed to post a pic not a link and I dont know how to resize it!

I think we used the same socks, my monkies (I did them awhile back) look like sheep and cows? :rotfl: The kids chose what buttons to use for the eyes! Yours look way better but hey ho my kids think theirs are cool!!:o
