Three Sock Monkeys- Rainbow Peace Girl ~ Outdoor Boy with Huge Ears ~ Vested Lawyer

Three new cuties headed out for their new homes.

I love these bright rainbow socks.

Next up, is a basic Outdoor style Sock Monkey with the exception of custom ears.

Last but not least, a cute Lawyer in a Vested Suit.

More Monkeys!

Simple Drop Stitch Scarf~ in a Yummy Yarn

The only souvenier I brought back from italy was three small balls of beautiful painted merino wool.
This is two of them.



And a close up.



Now what should I do with the last ball of this pretty yarn? :)

"No Evil" Minis and Green Fez Sock Monkey Twins

Now, I remember why I don't make very many minis :)
They are not any less work... but they sure are small.
I was surprised the little hats and scarves were not difficult at all. I'm glad I didn't go with my first instinct to crochet them. I like them knitted.

More Monkeys

I'm in a Book! ~ Everything's Coming Up Sock Monkeys!

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.



Look for me on p. 140!

Mr. T and the Lawyer

A couple new Sock Monkeys left for new homes this week.

First was a Blonde Lawyer Sock Monkey from San Fransisco. He's a little cutie, posing like a model, for the camera.




Then I finished up a custom order for Andrew, who fell in love with the Mr. T sock monkey on Craftster and had to have one of his own.

Finished a 6 pack! ;)

I just finished a group of Sock Monkeys today! I am so glad to get these guys out the door. :D
They are for the sweetest grandma. She had one set made for each of her three granddaughters.



More Sock Monkeys here!

I have been working hard to get caught up on the gift orders since I've been home. I think I said last year, " I should make up monkeys ahead of time so I have some available for adoption at the end of the year."
This time I wrote it down on my new calendar for July-November. Make Monkeys! :) We'll see if it works.
Here are a few of the little guys that made it out in time for gift-giving.

I am working on setting up a little place in the office to be a 'photo studio'. It is a pain to set up my back drops everytime. I really need some better lights too. I have no clue what kind of lights to use...
... must get back to craft table have many more monkeys waiting to be finished :)

Ceru the Traveling Sock Monkey!

Here are a few snaps of my favorite traveling Sock Monkey from our recent trip to Europe. :)


This is Burg Eltz. I was very pretty.
This is the longest fjord in Norway. Fjords are so beautiful!

Going to Europe on Wednesday!

I am so excited!
First stop Rome, then Florence, Munich, Dusseldorf - this is the reason we are going to visit friends in Dusseldorf who will take us to Holland- then Oslo (yes I know we are crazy to go to Norway in November) this is also to visit friends. :) then back to Germany for a couple of days.

This is one of the friends we are off to see!

Eeeeeee!!!! Can't wait. :D
