Whatnots

Hi,

just some small items made last week.

...a small apron sporting a big pocket divided in two, because I sooo love to listen to music or talk with my sister when I work in the kitchen...

 ... a pink key holder...

 ... a pinkish one...

 ...this is my cat Kira watching over...

 ...a matching pink mobile holder...

 ...and the pinkish one...

 ...this is a small mascara purse for my sister...

 ...she likes owls...

 ...the purse with a mathing mobile holder...

 ... here is what I intend to sew for the next charity shop, it will take place in April...

 ... I hope little girls will love the pink and pinkish tote with the assorted mobile holder and key holder...

 ... or just the tote...

 ...until then, my loyal he-cat stays guard...

Happy sewing!

amdg, Simone

Happy New Red Monkey Year!

Hi, there.

Wish you all  a happy Red Monkey year. However, I cannot help remembering history... 1956 was the year Russia occupied entered Hungary. And not only. It was a year of fear and one of fierce activity for the - also - red monkey, who keeps returning every 60 years. 

But hey, my parents got married in 1956! So, it wasn't such a bad year after all, no?

To win the graces of this years monkey, I made myself a mascot. It's name is Scrappi, because... oh well, it is made of red and reddish scraps. I like how it turned out and really hope it will bring joy.

I showed it to my aunt and she said "oh, you have to make one for my great grand daughter, too!". And my own mother, last night, when we had a small Chinese New Year party at her home, said with much good humor "oh, you made this for me, huh?". You see, she also is born "a monkey", albeit a water one.

I hope you will enjoy seeing my little mascot. I found the pattern on the Google images, and I hope the owner of the pattern will not be angry with me for using it.

Have a nice day!

amdg,

Simone
