Two of my favorite pass times...
Tea with a dear friend and making these fun sock monkey's!
I had this pleasure recently when my dearest friend Sue joined me for TEA and a sock monkey challenge! I asked if she would like to help make some SOCK Monkey's for her grandchildren due in for a visit. Her daughter Missy was due home for a short visit while on deputation with her husband and children. Missionaries to Bulgaria. A very dear family to me, personally...I fill in as Nana to these children, when Sue is gone herself to the Mission Field of Papua New Guinea.
We scouted the stores for SOCKS! I wonder what people were thinking as we chatted how this pair or that pair was soo CUTE! Okay..some socks worn are cute...but not like OUR conversation!
Like this BABY one...the socks were sooo SOFT...so imagine me cuddling this pair to my face! and other customers saying..."OKAY..LADY"???
But, for sweet little Kaitlyn...going on three years old..this was perfect!
And the names commenced..."Peppermint Patty" for the baby.
"Buddy" for Joshua..."Polly" and "Penelope"(the II)...the older girls could choose.
Along with my Quilting Stash of Fabrics...I now own a Sock Monkey Stash...and plenty for future projects to come.
ENJOY!
Hope

I LOVE all these cute little monkeys!! I'm so glad you were able to make them with a good friend too. A double treat!
These are all SO sweet and I just fell in love with the baby one as soon as I saw it :o)
Do you make them all by hand? How difficult are they to make for someone who doesn't sew and has never made one before in their lives?
I'm thinking of myself of course!
Oh it seems like for ever since I have visited with you! These are just wonderful, I love your sock monkeys they are just darling, what a great friend and fill in grandma you are!
Oooh...I love your sock monkeys! Wonder when I'll start to learn making one.
Oh, what adorable little sock monkeys!! I never thought to make any before...I would see the common one seen everywhere but I love the beautiful ones that you have made with all the happy colors! I have two little granddaughters...I am thinking I might have to make one for each of them!! :) Maybe a family of them for each one to play with....hmmm...make a sweet Christmas gift! :)
