Charity shop

Hi,

just a few images from the charity shop that took place at the end of December 2016, for the benefit of gifted children. My school participated, as it usually does, with items realised by the pupils and their teachers. It was quite a success and I hope the children will benefit.
No child should suffer!

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
