A Lovely Day

Lovely day to be outside. Some cheeky fellows decided to do something different today.



The 4 friends quickly broke out & dusted down the deluxe Scrabble board.



Mars peeking into the bag as he picks new tiles.



Plums all smiley, hiding the terrible truth of her sucky letters.


Everyone suspected Gyle of cheating, but didn't dare openly say so, lest the floodgates opened.



Black Forest all smug & waiting for her turn.



Gyle - $59
Mars - $59
Plums - $63
Back Forest - $79

Replica of a Smug Monkey

See this dirty little thing? This is my sister's favourite little soft toy & it was given to her eons ago (sometime in the 1980s, if i recall) by some bloke named Terence Tan. Hahahahaha. Cute little bugger isn't he? (The monkey, I mean.) I think Smug Monkey came from Hawaii.

I am at the very least, 30 years old. My owner loves me for my horribly smug expression. Oh look, my shorts are disintegrating & my lei has fallen to one side.



Enter Replica Smug Monkey. Very similar pose & horribly smug look. Spanking new shorts. I made him in the same material as the Duke Orange softy (heck, it's the only orange material I have), & instead of stuck-on bits of velvet for his features, I embroidered them on. My fingers are still smarting (I finished him yesterday). I am slightly amazed that I have this floral printed material that is somewhat similar to the original's green shorts. Cut out a piece of yellow felt for a scarf instead of a lei.


Oh how SMUG!


Now, I did not replicate this monkey to sell it. It's for my sister. Nor will I entertain requests for this little fellow. Then he won't be special anymore. Also, you might be trapping me into a big copyright infringement suit. I am just egotistically showing off my handywork. Also, he is bleeding hard to sew. The curvy seam for his eyes was sewn entirely by handstitching, as was his neck seam. I reinforced the neck seam after stuffing, too. Soon, I will need me a set of One Second Needles. Bwaahaa!


Also, I can draft patterns well... Haahaa....



Replica Smug Monkey - PRICELESS


Something along these lines - $120

Mooks is a Sock Monkey

Mooks is the second SmeowlyCats sock monkey to be made. So excited I was to get a request for a monkey that I immediately said 'Let's make it a sock monkey' & made two.




Hullo. Mooks is the name. I am 48cm tall. I have beads in my bum.





I also have piercing yellow eyes.



Mooks has been adopted, but do email me for your sock monkey sock options!






Mooks - $99


Optional :

Embroidered name - $5

Four of Us Have Gone Home for Christmas

What a cosy (albeit odd) looking bunch!


From left to right: Dawn, Ethan, Le Hui, Pooks.


Dawn was made for her namesake, a newborn. I added beads in the belly for the calming effect that abit of weight will have on a baby. 33cm in length approximately.


Aaaaawww, doesn't she have a sweet face?


Ethan is a boy bunny. He has evil-ish red eyes. I did not intend to make him goofily evil-ish. Rabbits have red eyes & blue & red is my absolute favourite combination of colours. So there! 43cm in height approximately.


Peering goofily evilly into the camera.


I previously attempted to make Le Hui in a nice fuschia fabric. Unfortunately, the fabric is too thin, & I have since abandoned the idea, so now, I'll just have to find some other use for that fabric. However, corduroy is the bomb! Bless that too-thin fabric! 43cm in height approximately.


Rather than an all-corduroy rabbit, I used the brown printed fabric for some detailing. I just love it! Also used it for the inside of her ears & her belly!

I just love her goofy look! I blame it on the buck teeth.


This is Pooks. I have just been DYING to try my hand at a sock monkey, which was the whole inspiration of my popular SmeowlySockCats anyway, so I was really excited when this order came in! I was so excited that I made a bigger version, Mooks, who will be featured soon! Pooks is 40cm in height.


Pooks has a silly grin on his face.


Dawn - $80 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name) = $90
Ethan - $79 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name) = $89
Le Hui - $79 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name) = $89
Pooks - $79 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name) = $89

I am A. Pinky. You have seen me before.



They cost $59 each.

Chrys & Belle (to China We WILL Go)

Cooee!

This is Belle.


This is Chrys.


These striped kitties were specially made for adorable 5 year-old twin sisters Chrys & Belle, who were back from China visiting family. Just like Megan & Matilda, they have been personalised as well.
Unfortunately, the girls had to go back whilst the kitties were being born, so for now, they (the kittens) are currently in-between homes. Fear not though, they will be back! Well, sometime, at the very least.


Chrys & Belle - $59 + $5 (embroidered name) = $64 each
