Sock Monkey

Once upon a time and long ago, I purchased a sock monkey kit at a quilt show. Sometime in the 90’s.

Seems like I have lots of stuff from the 90’s and then I dropped off the face of the earth in terms of a crafty life. Generally speaking.

Anyway…

I want this UFO kit out of my sewing studio.

In spite of how popular sock toys are, or were, and especially sock monkeys, I have never made any.

I should have made these in the 90’s! My hands were young then.

Who knew how much they would hurt making these now? Ha!

I’m not sure why I was attracted to these.

I don’t think that they are all that cute.

Maybe a bright red ribbon to dress them up would help?

Yup. I still have a Valentine wall hanging up.

St. Patrick’s Day is a good day to change that out, right? Sigh.

I am always behind.

What do you think of sock monkeys? Have you made any? Have you purchased any? Do you collect them or give them for gifts?

Keep creating! It nourishes your soul!
