Ever since I first set eyes on Melly & Me's wonderful ‘Magoo’ I knew that I had to make one. My first ‘Magoo’ turns 1 this month (not quite sure how old that is in monkey years) and sits near the door of the shop welcoming everyone as they enter. A handsome country boy, who is quite conservative but still quite cheeky. I have caught a few young ladies playing with him and even one toddler dragging him by the arm and heading out the door. Next on the scene was Snam Magoo (sensitive new age monkey)….a little more daring with his funky shorts and dyed hair…and he even one first prize in his class at the Heytesbury Show on the weekend.
He is off to live in Melbourne with my daughter Emma and said his farewells yesterday morning.
But then look who arrived in the mail today……..
Pirate Magoo!
I was a successful bidder in Melly & Rosie’s recent Bushfire Appeal auction on their blog. My custom made item couldn’t be anything else but a Magoo. Melly has done a great job and I have fallen in love with this rogue. I think that he will also turn a lot of heads …….. after all there’s just something appealing about a guy who looks tough on the outside ……but he’s just so cute – the Johnny Depp of the troop! Linda :)
How cute is Pirate Magoo... I would never have thought to use that fabric on a Magoo! Perhaps I should just lighten up and use something "different"...certainly worked for Melly! I spend way too much time procrastinating over fabric choices....!

Well Linda, just leave your new Pirate Magoo near the front door of the shop and i bet that he would just like to jump in my basket and come home with me!! He just looks lovely and Melly has done a great job. Love the outfit. Oh and my congratulations on your Magoo claiming a first prize in the Heytesbury show. Just as well i didn't finish or should i say start mine.
