I use cat litter in my doorstops - cheap and just the right weight.

oohh never ever send your hubs to get socks they always come back with the wrong ones.
I hope it's a lesson learnt!!!!
2 by hand in one day, wow that's fast. Well done. Are we going to see photos?

LOVE HIM! What a fab job you've done. I'm sure the receiver will be delighted

I love him too! I like the applique on his ears. He will be loved for many years to come :0)

Hi everybody. :hello: Great monkeys as ever.

Here is the pirate sock monkey I've just finished for my nephew's 4th Birthday next week. He was inspired by xxvickixx 's Stinky the Pirate. :rotfl: I think he might need more pirate-y accessories but not sure what.

Thats a nice pirate. What about a parrot on his shoulder! Love the earring.
