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
