Did you like his carrot cigar? LOL!

The woman at the cash desk wanted me to leave him in safety deposot - she was worried that one of the monkeys would pinch him. I said, no way! he's here to visit his relatives! :D

K, you had a family reunion for Hans birthday, how sweet!
Happy Birthday, Hans!
Saw the pic of the lemurs, sitting, then scrolled down, to lily and joey sitting...was funny...and the little lemur was willing to be photographed, awww!
Then, the sangeus sockeus (sp)...said, and leaned forward, "Does that little monkey have a hat on?"...sure nuff...just like your other children, lol! :lol:

Yes!! His face is hysterical! Looking at you like "yeah, what do you want!" Did any of the monkeys seem interested in Singeus?

Oh, Skeat, what HAVE you started?! :D

OMG!!!!!!! They are cloning!!:)I love it!! That makes my day that I could tag you w/the monkey tradition across the seas!!! I bet those two little trolls love their auntie!:)I love it! I love it!! Skeat

Skeat, is that a hedgehog in your avatar? or did a chicken sit on a midget?
so, guessing you sent the sock monkey pattern to K, or directed her to it, and she did a great job. I had to really look to see if it was real.
He looks like he has his hands on his hips. maybe he doesn't like his picture taken. I got a big monkey, I call hubby, that acts like that :wink:

well, why did you change it, silly? :D
now that I know it's a chicken,...ummm, how come there's a face under it? can it breathe?

Skeat sent me some sock monkey charm squares (among other things!) and being uninitiated, I thought it was 'just' cute monkey fabric - but she put me right and I googled sock monkeys! The other day over brekkie, me Hans and the kids were thinking up different types of sock monkeys we could make - Lily, Princess Sock Monkey, Joey, Indian (Native American) Sock Monkey, Hans - very rude ones that I couldn't describe here! Next time I go shopping, I'll be looking for appropriate socks to make more!
