Do you want to build a snowman?

Olaf, the sock snowman, inspired by the Disney movie Frozen.

My daughters are child care educators, and two work in the same child care centre. All the children are in love with the Disney Frozen movie, so they are having a Frozen themed week. I decided to make an Olaf, out of socks, that the children can play with.

My first photo of my idea.

A sock, some felt and pipe cleaners incased in felt, I built a snowman :)

I like warm hugs

He has a stand, a foam block, with a wooden piece of dowel stuck in it to help him stand upright. He is just leaning against it.

Bye Olaf,I hope the kids love you.

Topsy Turvy Doll

I have finished my Topsy Turvy doll, made out of a white sock and a black sock. It is for my daughters 30th birthday next month. A strange present for an adult but she had one as a child and she loved it. It went everywhere with her and became so ratty and dirty that I was so glad when she gave it up. Her original one was not a sock doll, but it don't think she will care.

Of course I didn't take photos at the start but this is half way, one side done, now to work on the other.

Sewing the arms.

All done one side.

And the other!

 They are dressed in their Sunday Best. I am so pleased with it, all done without a pattern, pat myself on the back :)
