For those of you who were wondering–no, we did not forget about the month of November and yes, we have a Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi just for it.  Hope everyone stuffed themselves silly with lots of yummy foods during the holidays!

For our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi, we went with the Native American look.  We could have gone with the pilgrim look but ultimately decided that a Native American monkey would allow for more decoration.  Since we already had a lot of Native American styled props lying around the house, why not use them here?

Doesn’t our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi look so cozy and right at home with all the props in the background?  Sometimes those random souvenirs you buy on trips really come in handy!

By the way, the feathers on its headdress are parakeet feathers!  We used to have a couple of parakeets and when it came to cleaning their cage, we’d always have a nice supply of some pretty feathers.  We saved up quite a few of them, so that also gave us another reason to make a Native American monkey amigurumi. Yes I know, it should have way more feathers on its headdress, but our parakeets weren’t balding!

Our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi with its turkey friend.  Come to think of it, we didn’t even eat turkey this Thanksgiving… Instead, we ate…….duck.

Its face paint is actually red and white nail polish!  Could have just used paint, but I didn’t have a paintbrush and plus, I didn’t want to wash it afterwards either.  But since nail polish already comes with a brush, it was much more tempting and easy solution to my little dilemma hahaa.

Yes, we can do other things besides monkey amigurumis…like a tiger amigurumi!

This tiger amigurumi is supposed to go along with the Chinese zodiac theme, but it seems like we’ll be doing the animals out of order and depending on our mood.  I mean who can resist a tiger in the middle of the rabbit year?  If we seriously decided to post the animal of the year in order and in a timely fashion then you’d have to stay tuned for another eleven years!!  Yep, crazy indeed.  But if you’d like to stick around for that long then you are more than welcome to!

So here is the side view of our tiger amigurumi…nice and round from all the rabbits he ate.  Ha ha, no tigers eat better things… like human food!

Mmm…junk food.  I just realized, the only thing here that has meat in it is the piddly little meat patty in the hamburger.  Apparently our tiger amigurumi has been feasting on other things…like rabbits!  Such a ravenous appetite!

The stripes were cut out of felt and glued onto the body.  It was a painstaking process but it turned out looking like a tiger right?  The tiger’s facial hair is also cut out from felt.  Its weird enough that a tiger would need facial hair to look like one, but without it it just doesn’t look right.  Without the hair, I’m pretty sure a lot of people would start thinking it was a Garfield cat of some sort.  Either that or people would probably think it was some kind of striped dog-cat-bear.  Yeah…we don’t want you to think that.  Do you see the importance of facial hair?!  Somehow I think it makes it look wiser…if not, old and seasoned.  :]
