Monopod

Monopod

In Chronicles of Narnia, Voyage of the Dawntreader perhaps, the children visit an island that is inhabited by Monopods. Here is my interpretation of them. Originally I was going to give it to Billie to play with, but I fell in love with it, so it will not be chewed by the dog. He is keeping company with the Mini Mina Monkey Trish & Kianna found.

Happy Hallowe’en!

Jack O'Lantern

Scott, a boarder at Cheryl’s neighbour turn 41 today — and woke up to 41 pumpkins on the front lawn! Rita told Cheryl to invite everyone to come and get a pumpkin. So Billie and I walked over and chose a pumpkin, brought it home and carved it  (that is, I carved it; Billie just watched intently, hoping she could eat it). Jack spent the evening glowing on my balcony.

Monday – baked the pumpkin and put 8 packages of pumpkin puree into the freezer. i do love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

Billie’s Sweater

Billie's sweater

My poor little doggie shivers in the cold air. So I decided to make her a sweater. I used the yarn left over from the monkey slippers and toy I made for Mina. the pattern is a free one from Bernat’s website.

You can see from the photo how enthused my little friend is with my gift!

Yet another project finished

Last year I made a pair of monkey slippers for my grandbaby; I started the toy monkey that matched, but never finished it. Now Mina can wear the slippers, but only wants to play with the monkey heads. I decided it was time to finish the toy monkey.

The baby gets clothes

Made some clothes for Mina’s new baby:

Onesy
Sundress
Watermelon sweater

I need to think about footwear next.

Her wig has arrived in Campbell. We will need to figure out how to attach it securely, yet have it removable for laundering.
