I really should have used the slow summer months more wisely. It has dawned on me that I have just two and a half months before the big Castle Band Art and Craft Show- which is December 1st, by the way. I do have quite a few items made, but need more. I especially need to work on sock monkeys for the show. I'm starting to get busy again with custom orders which is great, and I was smart and made up a bunch of monkey bodies ready to stuff and finish. So that should save some time. I have never done monkeys this way before and I don't know why I haven't. I usually do one whole monkey at a time. It definately makes more sense to do all the machine stitching for several monkeys at the same time while the machine is all set up and I'm in a sewing groove.
