I'm getting there lol, sewn on the arms & tail & need to sew the ears & mouth on. My daughter has claimed it as hers causing arguments with my other children lol. so looks like I had better get a move on with making them. I'm not thrilled with it yet but hope the finishing touches will make all the difference. Children don't care though:D

I now have thread, needle and socks with stars on. Now to be brave and start making it!

But how can I sew and type at the same time?!

I bought some lovely soft fluffy bed socks from Primark today - pk of 2 for £2, 1 pink and 1 pink striped with tinsel type strands in it. Now just got to start!!!

Joey, that's so cute!

I've just purchased some Rockford Red Heel socks so i can make an 'original' sock monkey for DH for xmas. They're coming from the USA so will hopefully be here when i get back off my hols! :T

Would anyone be interested in making some if i provide toy filling and the socks, as i would like to use them for fundraising to raise money for premature babies,

this is what we do

I'll make some and send them to you. I'm a bit concerned about buttons on them though, so what about sewing on eyes with thick thread, would that be ok? The website bought tears to my eyes, i might have a go at knitting some of the clothes. Let me know your address and I'll see what I can do, might take a few weeks though.

Angie, just be aware that when you're making fluffy sick monkeys, the fluff gets everywhere! I was plastered in white fluff... and I think DD throwing it around didn't help much...

I made another one last night, will upload some photos later... Have some hiking socks here that I'm going to try and sock bunny tonight...
