Cute Sock Monkey!

A while ago, a friend of mine taught me how to make sock monkeys. It's so much fun, and they are so cute!! I made this one for my little niece who just turned two. I embroidered the smile, and eye lashes, added some button eyes, soft ball ears, and a little skirt that I sewed. I think she is pretty cute:)
Here is a picture of my niece when she opened what my Mom gave her. It's a little fabric doll house (that I helped her sew together), and a bunch of little stuffed bunnies that she made. You can see the sock monkey I made for her sitting in that victoria's secret bag. lol It's the only pink one I had, though!:)

Fisherman Room

Charlie's room is fisherman themed, and I have done a lot of crafts for it, and I just ordered some vinyl lettering from "Adhering Thoughts"! I have a lot more projects for his room in progress, that I will post later! I made thos little stuffed fishes a while back, and attached them to some twine, and tied them onto a bamboo stick, for kind of an original alternative to a regular valance!

*if you want to purchase vinyl lettering, contact Aubri! She does a great job! www.adheringthoughts.com

Handmade Teddy Bears

I decided one day that I wanted to make Charlie a teddy bear, so I just cut out a bear shape in some material and sewed it together, and this is what came of it! Then I tried one with a pattern (the green one), and I think I like my spontaneous one better. The one I used the pattern for looks even more funny than the black one I think. But, I like them both. The green one is for my neice's first birthday. I embroidered her name on a little pocket and then stitched it onto the bear.:)
