Monkey Business

Monkey Purse and Heart Keyring from a Paper-and-String sew your own craft kit.

Sew-Your-Own craft kits by Paper-and-String can be found from the Paper-and-String website.  Contents include: Felt, Stuffing, Buttons, Ribbons, Patterns & Instructions .  (You will need your own Needle/s, Threads, Scissors, Pens & Pencils!)

Completed Thursday (26/Sept/2013).  Kit had been calling out to me since I received it in the post - "Make me, make me!" Unfortunately work on house had priority.  When hubby found someone else to help with floors & porch, I snuck off to do my own thing.

I managed to squeeze this cheeky fellow from the felt kit too!

Family Picture!

Not sure if others found the same with these kits, but I had quite a few buttons & stuffing left over - what should I save those up for?

My First Panda Toy (made from scratch!)

I couldn't resist making one after seeing "Her" - Anna Panda on Lynn Roberts' blog.

Pattern & Tutorial by Lynn Roberts and can be found here.

My first Panda toy was completed on Sunday (28/Aug/2013).  Adjustments made to body. I used an old unused towel to substitute white felt. Maybe I will be making others - create my own Panda family!

January 2013!

Wow... it's practically half way through the first month, Valentine's Day around the corner. It seems like I just blinked and the year just flew by!
