do a bit: my creative space: softies for mirabel

I made a little happy monkey for softies for mirabel this year, which is being hosted by Meet Me at Mikes! I had a little help from my little man... who just loves happy monkey and was asking if it was for him! I explained to him that it was for another little boy/girl who is less fortunate and may not get many presents for xmas... he seemed to understand (I think)! Softies for mirabel is such a great cause and I really hope happy monkey will find a very special little friend to love him! :)

I used the pattern from hop skip jump book, which has so many great softies patterns... love it!

Did you recognise the fabric from his pants? It's the chevron fabric that I screen printed the other week... very cool pants hey :)

It was a fun little project to make and it feels really good to make something special for such great cause! I'm so pleased with how he turned out.. he's so cute! I think I may have to make one for my little man too :)

He's really cute! And of course I think your little man deserves a monkey of his own, seeing as how he picked my name for your giveaway. :)
Thank him for me!!

I love your monkey, and the trousers really caught my eye - the chevron looks fantastic both as a block and in the pants. Good on you - I'm sure he'll make someone very happy.
