Curious monkey

What is that brown little thing in front of Kyle?

Some say he looks kinda familiar

Is it George, Curious George?

Not Curious George…

He is just a curious bespectacled monkey riding a trike.

 

Made this monkey on a tricycle specially for my brother-in-law to be birthday, who owns a t-shirt of a monkey that looks very much like this little guy. This monkey with his tricycle was tough to make, especially when it came to his mouth and his tiny hands. Didn't occur to me that he would end up looking a little like Curious George though…

My attempt at Haiku for my newest creation named Cate. She was named after a friend's 3 year old little girl as she looked alot like the latter. Little doll Cate ended being little girl Cate's birthday present.

named after her favorite hue

Little doll Cate looked rather lonely, so I made a brown dog named Blu for her.

In the Details – Buntings for his ‘Crib’

There's something about buntings that seem to give a cheery boost to any corner of the room.

These days, bunting are not just used in parties or events, but commonly seen in interiors as well. especially for a child's bedroom. I would love to use a fabric bunting for the hall, but hb might start asking, "Are we having a party?"

So I confined my festive inspirations to Kyle's room with a string of mini felt buntings in his room's colour scheme of red, blue, yellow and green, and suspended it below the picture frames. Felt/fabric buntings are very lightweight, so it can be hung on almost anywhere in the house.

It is a really simple handmade to do. All you need is a few sheets of felt in the colours that you like, cut them into triangles of the same size, and tack it to a thicker string. I used mint and white bakers' twine here as normal sewing thread can be too thin and delicate for this.

 

Together with felt (what else?) hot air balloons mobiles hung from the ceiling, this corner of Kyle's room has become my favorite little corner in the house.  

Now how about another fabric bunting on this other corner of his room? Yes, my love of bunting is getting a bit too much…

Here's the tutorial for a fabric bunting if you would like to make a bunting for your kid's room.
