So, I needed a pretty gift to add to a gift basket for a friend's new baby boy. Monkeys were her theme. I love monkeys and my favorite monkey of all is the classic sock monkey. When I want to make something nice, I hit my favorite fabric store: Houston Street Mercantile. To my local Tolarites, and Granburidians: if you have neglected to visit this store as of yet - plan a visit very soon! Okay, no more monkeying around, on with the story....so...sock monkeys. I found Houston Street carried the sock monkey prints by Moda - yay! I paired these lovely prints with some nice "boy" plaids. I also purchased some of their all natural batting, which I love. Long story short, for $39.00 and 2 hours of my time, my dear friend got a one of a kind gift...with love in every stitch. My dependency on Walmart wains.....
