Coffee and Sock Monkeys

This all started with a lazy Sunday trip out for coffee and cake to Borders Books in Dundee and a chance meeting with the book "Aranzi Cute Dolls" by Aranzi Aronzo. I swiftly bought the book along with "Plush You!" by Kristen Rask and proceeded to cut up all my old clothes as soon as I got home, my first creation was born.

Nameless...

A rather old and stinky looking sock monkey came next.

Both of these were hand stitched, although this was great fun I soon realised that if i gave my Mum's old Singer sewing machine a try things would go a lot faster. This sewing machine is fantastic, it is from 1976, and although it weighs around the same as a small elephant it helped me out for a couple of weeks until I got a brand new one for my 31st birthday.
