That's so craftacular!

One of the gifts I received from Jacquelyn for Saint Valentine's Day was a homemade sock monkey!  (You know how I love monkeys.)  Jacqui made him from a pair of brown socks from the GAP.  He's awesome but I haven't named him yet.  Rather, he hasn't told me his name.  This gift has started a frenzy of sewing as I suddenly am obsessed with making sock monkeys.  In the past three days I've made two of them, one for Ethan and one for Andrew, his little half-brother.  Next on the agenda is one for Jacquelyn, made from white and pink argyle socks.  I'm very excited about that one.  Anyhoo, here's the pictures....

Here's mine, chilling atop my non-fiction bookshelf:


Here's the two I made for the brothers:


They may be monkeys but they like hanging out on the cat tree:


And lastly, a Photoshopped picture from my new cellphone camera:

That is all.  As you were, dear reader.

You realize you are starting a Sock Monkey movement, right?

Mr. T Sock Monkey says, "You gotta be a fool not to love sock monkeys. Be cool, stay in school. Make sock monkeys."
