a mr. monkey for mr. van

I've been waiting for months to make this little guy for my favoritest nephew for his 1st birthday. Ever since I bought the pattern waaay back in January.



Newsboy hat...



Blue eyes...



I made sure to dress him in an outfit appropriate for church- 'cause Van is going to love him so much he will insist on taking him everywhere.



And the details- I'm all about the details. I had SO much fun obsessing and designing the details!



Like the pockets- front...



...and back...



And his little Van's slip-ons.

But I've saved the best for last...



A pirate dress up set.

Arrrgghhhh!



Are you dying yet? Cuz I am. All over again.



All that's missing is a tiny little parrot. Seen any around?



Look out, matey!

(Don't worry- its only felt!)


And now you've seen our yellow walls. I'm not much of a yellow person, so I was worried that I would hate them- but I've actually grown quite fond of them.
