This is "Flower". She's got a crooked lil smile, to match her crooked lil eyes, but she was made with love for Sue's (Irishgreensue) DGD, who celebrated her 1st birthday yesterday! Yeah Daria! I felt like I have watched Daria grow up via photos and videos. She is a doll! And, she has her Nana's heart for sure!
I used Nestabilities to cut the felt for the eyes- and it worked like a dream! Her lil flower on the hat is from SU, as is her "heart". I have not embroidered since high school, and you know that has been some time...but it was the best I could do. And, my kitty Luna was a huge help...I'm just sayin'! Embroidery floss can be fun, ya know?
"Flower" has bells inside her tail, hands and toes, and she *sounds* really cute! I used the last bits of my favored lace for her anklets, and think it has never looked finer. I took this photo outside, in Greenie's favorite spot on my patio. (Extra love....)
Daria, Happy Birthday Sweetie! The monkey's in the mail! LYMI....
Psst.....Hi Tosh! Consequences, I know! (wink)

Oh! This is a work of love for sure! Adorable! And love the lace on the ankles! I wish I could hear her bells! Daria is going to cuddle this for years to come. What a loving Nana!

OH MY GOSH, Mimi PAT!! This is preciousness personified!! I know how much love had to go into the making of this sweet lil' monkey - hey, she smiles just like Daria - a little crooked, with the "what am I going to be able to get into next?" look on her face!! THAT'S DARIA - mischief in a cute little package - She and "Flower"are gonna be BFF's for a LONG TIME!!
Thanks SO MUCH for this gift of LOVE from your big ol' monkey heart!
LYMI!
