a mr. monkey for mr. van

What a dapper young fellow!

My only nephew is turning one in a few days- so I made him a monkey. I know he's a little young for a monkey- but I couldn't help myself.



Photobucket
Sweet blue eyes.



Photobucket
His poppa is an architect, so dressing the monkey in his finest was a must. And besides, I love details.



Photobucket
Like some houndstooth Van's slip-ons...



Photobucket
A fat striped tie...



Photobucket
Pockets...



Photobucket
And even back pockets! Look at that tail!



Photobucket
Every monkey needs some playtime. As a pirate of course!



Photobucket
Arrgghh!




Photobucket
Bound to lose some of these some day, but whatever!!

Happy Birthday Van!!


I got the sewing room/office all set up so that I could make this lil guy before flying back home for Van's birthday party. I had so much fun "shopping" for the fabric from my very full stash. I have given myself a rule:

no shopping for fabric in the city until my stash is somewhat depleted. I have forced myself not to google the fabric shops, so I won't eben know where they are to tempt me!
