It took me a while to crochet the blue pants. The hat and vest are made of felt.

So far he's just a plain joe

So far he's just a plain Joe, so I named him P.J. for short.

I couldn't resist painting Wallace on a wooden egg.

Grandma Trudy

Full size Trudy monkey. 


The first monkey to live with us was made by my husband's mother Grandma Trudy. She passed away many years ago but I'm sure she would have gotten a kick out of me following in the monkey tradition. I called my kids who are in college now to ask if they still had the monkey and happily they did, so they sent me the photos of it.
So the legacy continues...

Grandma Trudy made this monkey in the early '80's and it was the first monkey to move in with us.

New Monkeys

I just had some ideas for new monkeys. So I'm working on a pirate, a jester, a hippy, and my Aunt Wanda. Now that the holidays are over, I can start taking orders again.
