I hastily finished my little monkey plushie and sent it off today…bon voyage! Here are some quick photos to share…I like his tail the most. Otherwise, I’ve been out all day, so nothing much else going on besides too much shopping.

Linda, I am loving seeing all your AEDM creations — such fun! And yes, I would love love love to have you participate in the handmade gift exchange over at Mother Henna. It is totally fine that you are in Italy. We have someone from Ireland, another from Canada, and a few US so far — so we are going to be a very international exchange!

Thanks, Jacqueline! Yes it is hand sewn and poked myself a lot – ouch! I’m not much of a sewer, but it’s the most accessible for me to put things together. Thanks for your happy thoughts and I hope you have a great day as well!
