The wait is over! We have finally gotten our shipment of Sock Lady Socks and we are ready to offer the Colorful Sock Monkeys!

Here they are!

Starting from Left to Right – Here we Have Lime Sock Monkey.

This little guy is Blue (but he’s not sad- he’s Happy!)

And finally the most sedately colored of the three- she is so sweet I call her Pumpkin.

They will be available for adoption as soon as my overworked web guy has a spare moment to make the page for them.

Thanks for visiting!

Two Classic Sock Monkeys for the Road- To OZ! :)

Tamara — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 04:44:07 +0000

These two cuties are headed to the land down under. I love it when good ole’ folk art gets exported.
Who says America has no culture! Sorry, I guess I might be a bit touchy about that. I was recently in South America hanging out with a nice German guy who did not hold back his opinions of Americas lack of taste and culture.

Back to Sock Monkeys- I’ve been asked how I make the slightly folded ears for the classic sock monkey.
I draw the shape. (for classic is about 80% of a full circle)
Sew it. (for pre-sewn sock monkey kits this shape is already sewn in)
Turn it right side out.
Bring the two ‘corners’ together and make a small sorta cone shape and sew that to the sock monkeys head.
Happy Monkey Making!

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.

Monkey Needs Some TLC

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.
