Monkey Business

The past few days I spent a few hours in my craft room, the first time since Audrey was born. Our friends, Matt and Jill, are expecting a baby boy in August. I wanted to make something handmade for her shower. I made a blanket with flannel and chenille (not shown as I had already put it in the gift bag,) but I also made this...

A monkey, and not just an ordinary monkey, a monkey with flying capabilities. (May I note here that the tube socks give the "flying" power, not the cape.)

Now I can't take credit for coming up with the design, I used this tutorial from mmmcrafts, one of my favorite blogs! It did, however, inspire me to start writing tutorials. So my current goal is to design a stuffed animal (turtle, koala, panda?) and make a tutorial for it to share with others. Here's hoping I get it done before Halloween, haha!
