Sock Monkey

I started this sock monkey last year and I finished it today with Sandii's help.
The monkey's name is Chipper and his pal is Oreo.
It took forever to finish it.
I bought this sock monkey kit at JoAnn's. I thought it would be fun to have one of my own.
It came with two socks, patterns, felt, thread, instructions, and needle.
Sandii did all the sewing machine work.
I did the stuffing and I learned how to do the hand sewing.
It was fun learning how to do the hand sewing with the needle.
I also learned how to cut out fabric with a pattern.
Instead of sewing the bear together I glued it with stuffing inside to look like Oreo cookie stuffing then I glued it to the monkey. That is why his name is Oreo.
It was fun putting the monkey together and Sandii and I are happy for it to be done for good.
I will never buy a kit ever again until I read the instructions.

New clothes


I got coupons for Christmas last year from dad & Sandii.

The coupons are gifts through out the year.

I used the coupon for the new skirt and jacket that Sandii made for me.

I wore the skirt and jacket last Sunday to church.
