Turn them inside out
Add some stitching, do some cutting and a lot of concentrating.
Have a cuppa then start stuffing

I love sock monkeys and this one is adorable. It's been awhile...so thanks for the link! Now that I live in Colombia...socks DO NOT belong on my feet.
ReplyDeleteLucky you Annie. We are wearing two pair it's that cold
DeleteWhat an interesting way to use old socks, haha. Not my cup of tea, but I bet you all had lots of fun. I can imagine as much time was spent chattering like monkeys as was spent making some, hehe :0) Mo x
ReplyDeleteCheeky monkey Mo, are you saying we talk a lot xx
DeleteWho? Me? Now would I?! ;) xx
DeleteGenius Lynn!! You really have captured a moment of pure concentration there. Glad I'm not the only one to pull the 'not grumpy - serious' face!! What a productive and enjoyable way to spend a day. Hugs, Buttons x
ReplyDeleteThese are a fabulous twist on the traditional sock monkeys. Love the grey floral with pink socks. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteThese sock monkeys are wonderful Lynn. Children love simple toys.My Mum made sock puppets for my nephews when they were young, and they played with them until they were threadbare!!
