Happy Birthday To You !!!

I have completely finished 3 of the monkeys. Two brown and this one purple one. This one is for my cousin Michelle, Friday is her Birthday and purple is her favorite color. I hope she likes it. I think that they are coming along great, (whenever I can find time to work on them). I also have developed a callus at the base of my pinky finger from making all the monkeys with those little needles. Well, I can't totally blame the little hooks, that's just me trying to divert blame. I just have a big problem choking up on the little needles, you know like holding them to hard to make sure that the stitches are tight. Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this bothersome callus?

Who's Bright Idea Was This Anyway?

I've had a few people to ask me to make them monkeys, six to be exact. So, I came up with this bright idea to do like an assembly line style thing, were I do all the appendages at one time, then stuff them, then sew the monkeys together. NOT, such a great idea. Forgot that I have a short attention span and that my mind tends to wonder sometimes (majority of the time). But, I have gotten through the legs and ears, Yay! But, I still feels as though I am not making any progress at all. Unrelated info, The birthday girl really like her poncho. The party was great, and we danced all night long.

Great Last Minute Gift

I totally forgot about a birthday party that I was invited to attend later this evening. Yesterday when I was working on my Amineko Cat, I got a reminder phone about the party. I hate going to a function empty handed, you know what I mean? So, I whipped up this quick poncho. I think that it is the perfect last minute gift. It worked up pretty quickly and I know she will love it because she keeps trying to take the one that I make for her sister for the holidays. Little sisters, I swear. (speaking of little sister, let's thank my little sister/model, Free).

My First Atempt At Amigurumi

I've mentioned it before the lion that I made which was my first amigurumi. So....I just wanted to share a picture of my little Simba. I actually made him before the monkey (which was previously posted). Yesterday I found an free Amineko Cat Pattern.

It was on http://kinkylilblackdress.blogspot.com, I'll let you guys know how it comes out.

Free Rules !¡!

We went to see my sister, Free play in her first college tennis tournament. She won 2 matches that we saw today and a lot of matches we didn't catch. It was cool to meet her other team mates. They all were very nice and seem to get along very well. I know that it is not such a great picture, but I took it with my camera phone. That's all that I have to work with right now. I think that the pics are coming out rather well.

Monkey, Monkey, Who's Got The Monkey?

Ta-Da!!! Finally, I was able to add one of my pictures onto my blog (without the use of a digital camera). So.... Here's the monkey that I made I guess about a week and a half ago, hanging from my bedroom curtain. I think that he is the cutest thing ever. I saw a picture of a small crochet monkey, that had only chains for the feet and arms, so this is what I came up with from looking at the picture.
