Sock Cat Draught Excluder!!

Hiya Everyone

Nice to see you again.

Well, here she is. She is a little lumpy, a little misshaped and her ears are too small! But my kids are gonna love her and I will be ripping that bell off when they discover it!!!! lol

Need to do Otis sock monkeys next but I do want to start on the Sock Dog Draught Excluder!!! :P So Otis may have to wait!!! :P

See you soon xxx

Monsters!!!!!

Hiya

Welcome back.

Wanda has been a bit quiet this week as we went away to see my sister and her little baby. He was 6 days old when we got there and they had only just come out of hospital! He was so tiny. Smaller than all of mine and smaller than his older sisters dolly!!! But so so so cute! And kids been busy with homework/parents evening and just recovering from the excitement of the weekend and next weekend (going to caravan but I think wanda might be getting up to a few things there!!!! :D)

Anyway, I have made a sock monster for my friends little boy who loved it (I hope she wasnt just being nice) and I made the mistake of showing my 3 who now all want one!

I only used 1 sock to made another one with the other sock, although I dont think he went as well. Needed more stuffing and I couldnt quite get him right! But he will go with something for a xmas present for my cousins little boy.

And I found a lovely pair of socks that I had to make into a monkey straight away! Dont think she has come out quite as well as I hoped she would but still I think she is alright!

I really do need to start on Otis's this week but need to find the material for his clothes and bells for him (so next week). So instead I started a sock cat draught excluder. I found the biggest pair of socks I had and have started her (did call it a him but dh said its pink so has to be a girl!!! :P) already. She is a bit lumpy as i used cut up old clothes so need to smooth her out and get her sewn up. I am also planning a sock dog draught excluder for the front door (guard dog! lol). Should have photos soon! And of course Wanda's exploits!! :D

As its my 10th wedding anniversary and am having a glass of fizzy wine I will love you and leave you.

Thanks for dropping by xxx

Monkey Order

Hiya

Welcome back.

This week I have had an order for 3. Here they are:

I have also finished Wanda the Wicked Witch Sock Monkey and will be back later with photos. Have to wait for kids to go to bed before I can take her photo.

See you later xxx

Busy Monkeying!!! :P

Hiya

Thanks for stopping by.

I have been a busy little monkey maker. I finished this one that has been started for a few weeks but her eyes seem to have gone wonkey!!!

I have also been wanting to make one out of these socks for a while. I put on cat eyes but I am thinking about changing the ears to cat hers to make her more cat like! Not sure!!! But her eyes really stand out and look amazing when the light catches them.

You may remember the sock monkey that my daughter wanted for xmas. Well, the picture has been seen and the nice lady wanted her and a boy one for her 2 kids. She also wanted bags so I made hats and scarfs and put initial on bags and hats. I think they look pretty cool. The hat on the girl one is huge - I think its a fashion statement!!! lol

And finally I was asked to make another seargent sock monkey. I didnt have any socks the same as the last one so I made 2, a large one and a small one. The large one is huge. They will be going on my facebook shop if the person doesnt like them. I think they may have too much orange on!! Ah well. The hunt for army socks continues.

I am currently in the middle of making another 3 to order. and I have a waiting list, yes a waiting list, to make Otis. And I still have to finish Wanda! Running out of time now. So next time the sewing machine is out I will make her dress and then just sew on some spiders and webs.

So much to do and so little time to do it!! I am also doing an extra morning volunteering at the moment so really cant fit everything in!!! Ah well, keeps me young!!! lol

Pop by again soon. xxx

More Sock Monkeys and a Witch

Hiya Everyone.

Thanks for dropping by!

I have been busy! Made this sock monkey for my daughter for her xmas eve hamper. I was just trying to use up the eyes really but I think it looks ok and Beth noticed her when I was showing someone some monkeys and asked if she could have her. So at least she will be happy with hers this year!!! :D

I also had an order this week. To do a sock monkey with boxers as she is potty training her son. Here he is.

He also has a blue pair.

She also ordered this little one for her nephews first birthday.

Which her son saw and wanted so she picked this one up today for her son.

And while I had a spare 2 mins (or 20 lol) I did the hair on Wanda the Witch Sock Monkey as per the very clever ladies on mse who explained how to do it. So she has crinckly hair now. I think it looks much better. They have also given me some advice as to her clothes. Black and orange dress, I have orange material and will sew on a spiders web in black. When i get round to it!!! :P

And on a happy note, seargent sock monkey has been adopted by my friend at school for her sons birthday. I am so pleased he is going to a good home (he is one of my favourites!!! :D) and I know Connor will look after him.

Anyway, best get tea on, hope to see you soon. x
