I have to embellish everything!!!

Sierra's birthday is next Tuesday...  and she is REALLY into monkey's! So I decided to make her a Sock Monkey for her present (well, one of them).
You remember Sock Monkey's don't you!


Well, of course, they have much cuter socks these days! LOL! So I told Sierra to pick out a pair of socks for Mommy to make a present for her.  She picked out some cute brown ones with polka dots, and then when I said, okay, Mommy is going to take these to make your present. She was like, wait... um, are they going to be socks??  I told her no, but it would be something she would like.  Then she tried to give me a ratty old pair of plain pink socks!
I finally convinced her to trust me, and I promised to buy her another pair of socks and she let me have the cute ones.
So I set off to make her Sock Monkey.  2 Hours later I finished!!

BUT WAIT....
Even though the Monkey was brown with pink, purple, green, and blue polka dots... it still didn't look like a GIRL sock monkey.
So I busted out the SCRAPPY STUFF!!!
Some buttons for eyes, a fabric flower on her hat, and then I sewed a ribbon skirt!
Isn't she cute!

The colors are a little off, but the monkey is actually a dark brown!  So even though I've been in a scrap rut, at least I'm still crafting!
