What was your inspiration?

I have this love affair with sock monkeys...

What are you most proud of?

The mess that I made of the carpet in the blue green finally righted itself. I cheated on the orange and pink with a preset machine stitch, but it was all in the name of play!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I like using my own photos. Lola give excellent instructions on how to convert photos for this project.

I've not ever made a pdf pattern before, but since I do have the tools to do that, I should get busy! :)

OMG this is adorable. I love the design, the coloring, and the background choices. The layout of this piece is absolutely beautiful. This would make a great pattern. You should consider it. I would buy one.
