I had the most fun with this order! Kason (or "Chunky Monkey" as his mother calls him) is turning one, and his ever sooooooooooo creative and spunky mom has a perfect first birthday party planned for him. The theme is "5 Little Monkeys", and she asked me to make a shirt and sippy cup to go with the theme. If that was not fun enough, she is actually going to decorate a table to look like a bed (told ya she was creative), so she also ordered a standard pillowcase to match the shirt and cup. Thanks, Natalie, for this order. I had a B.L.A.S.T.
***Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures. BOTH of my cameras are broken, so these pics were taken with an iPhone...

coordinating pillow case for the "bed" table
Oh, this pillow case is so precious. This picture just doesn't do it justice.
The spotted orange grosgrain ribbon and the orange thread I used to monogram the words "Chunky Monkey" really tie the orange dots of the lime green fabric together. In order to pull more of the spunky lime green into the pillow case,
I used lime green thread to sew down Kason's name which I realize is hard to see in this pictures. You are just going to have to take my word for it when I say it is REALLY cute!

Again, I apologize for the poor picture quality of the iPhone camera, but you get the idea. NEVER have I had such fun with monkeys, bananas and polka-dots!
Happy 1st birthday, sweet Kason!!!
