Sock Monkey Fun

Just finished a fun project for a great company. Sock Guy ordered some sock monkeys for thier next catalog. What a fun idea!
Hottie Sock Monkey was the first one and now here are the other 5.

This little guy is my favorite.

And this one just says- “Hey Baby- how you doin’?”

After seeing the photos of Monkey. I got a desperate plea from Julia’s person asking if I could help her too.
I was happy to help.

I love seeing vintage crafts. Especially up close.
Recently, I was sent a very cute monkey that needed to be rebuilt.
Luckily- I had the technology.
You can see even in the before pictures she is a beautiful piece of work- just a bit torn up.

We are almost done building sockmonkey.net.
We need feedback! If you can, go look and let me know what you think.
Thank You.

A great new book just came out and we’re in it! The author was very nice and sent us a signed copy of the new book.
It’s beautiful, it has tons of history and art all about Sock Monkeys. It would be a great addition to the library or coffee table of any Sock Monkey enthusiast.
