Past Sock Monkeys

 Looking through my photos reminded me that I have not put up photo's of my earlier sock monkeys.This is my very first try. I cut the arms and tail wrong but I learned by my mistake.
Painted Lady

My beautiful dog thought she was a great chew toy, he looks hopefully to each new completed sock monkey. Sorry boy, next time.

July sock monkeys


Well the flu has finally left, it seemed to linger so long and then I had a kidney infection but I am well this week. Need to finish my rearranging and organizing of my craft room but sock monkeys are calling me to make them. I need to do two that I have promised to make for my niece and nephew, who are actually my great niece/nephew but I hate saying that, makes me feel so old.

First time I have used a surround for the button eyes. I like it. For my nephew, black socks with a blue pacman ghost print, grey face and blue button eyes.

For my niece a pink, green and white stripey fluffy sock.She turned out  a prim looking little miss, with pink eyes, pink and white flower head accessory,lace scarf, eye lashes and a smile.And a white felt eye surround.
Ok come pick them up before my dog chews them lol.
They have been waiting on them so long, it will be a surprise that I have done them.

Flu, virus, and not well

No crafting or cake decorating done for weeks, the flu has been and not left yet. I have been trying to organize my craft room but I have no energy or interest in any thing. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get back into sock critters and all the other ideas that I have been pinning lol.
