Indian Sock Monkeys for Thanksgiving

A FUN Sock Monkey Adventure! INDIANS...for two little boys!!

I did not plan for the mouth to have a "smirk" but it so happens that the twins dad...cannot look at you without a "smirk"... he has always been somewhat self conscience when looking at people. Soooo instead of the SMURFS...we have the "SMIRK" tribe twins.

Had to have fun posing him for his run to hunt....

I used felt for the clothing. I traced on paper first and cut for a perfect fit. Then copied onto felt. Using pinking sheers made perfect "feathers". This was such a FUN project for my twin grandsons.

I loved this stitch...looking like animal tracks....

I hope you enjoyed the adventure...and come up with some of your own to share...

Blessings to you and THANKFULNESS your friendship!!!

Sew Pretty....touches of HAPPINESS

This little bird...was a sweet gift. I love the delicate lace design. Perfect, for a sewing room!

The metal basket is also a gift..it held various teas from a local tea shop and now holds special buttons. Replacement buttons...the perfect place to look in an emergency!! Don't you just love the scallops, they add such a lovely touch and the embossed top!! Sooo pretty!

A treasured gift from a very sweet elderly lady.

This is a collection of French Country fabrics I have been collecting...along with a red Japanese print (more Japanese underneath)!

I use this basket to store my favorites...waiting on just the right pattern and project.

Did you notice my LOLLIPOP!! This is by Laurie of Lollipop Binding.

I purchased this one at one of her first Quilt Shows to show off her new product. I don't know that I'll ever use it, as it's one of her first ORIGINALS!! She now has a website and has added more adorable ideas to her line of "goodies".
Her story is wonderful..
She started out making Quilts for Soldiers overseas..and in a group effort...she had them working on different areas...one was rolling the cut binding. She looked down at the table of rolled up binding..and VOILA!!!

The light came on..THESE LOOK LIKE LOLLIPOPS!!!

and they are the cutest...I love mine. With the real lollipop stick!

Her design has gotten more colorful...but I'm glad I have this one. I love the story behind it and having met her..she is a very sweet person.

Little touches of HAPPINESS and INSPIRATION in your sewing room can do wonders!


Do you have special TREASURE in your sewing room...little touches of HAPPINESS!

Life is a little bit sweeter, when touched with kindness and beauty!

Happy Crafting!
