I've found a site where a guy is selling the greatest sock er...things... that I've ever seen. He has a whole gallery of ones that have already been 'adopted' to various homes - check out some of their names - I'm not inclined to buy one myself, (oy, high price for a stuffed sock!) but I love the concept and am trying to figure out how I could make one - maybe some of you craft-y folks would fare better than I. Haha! http://www.stupidcreatures.com/ My youngest decided she would like to take a stab at it - this is the result, using some of our many unmatched socks. She made the legs by splitting the sock and stitching and stuffing both halves.
Hey they've got one called Richard!!! I love the one your daughter has made Prim - hard to believe that socks can look so good.
Haha these are great, what a twisted mind the artist has to be able to come up with such original creatures. Your daughter made a great go of it there Prim. What has she named it? I'd love to see a sock version of a Venus fly trap.
My grandma used to make sock critters for me. I lost them in Katrina, dammit. They were just wonderful and at least 60 years old.
Awww, Jan, I hate that for you, those are the most painful kind of material losses. Prim, I love the sock-a-saurus your daughter made, it looks like a friendly creature. :-D
I like your daughter's creature. It is a wonderful use for mismatched socks. We certainly have a lot of them around here.
I have a suitcase stuffed with them - literally. I did a 'travel' theme for my bookfair a couple years ago and everyone gave me mismatched socks for a guessing game (how many socks are in the suitcase?). I've never been sure what to do with them ever since - at last, we can use up some of the more colorful ones.
I love that one y6our daughter made reminds me of Mr. snuffauplogus from Sesame Street. When I wa sabout 7 my aunt made me a sock monkey out of rockford socks they had a red toe and heeland were gray. I lost track of it when I went in the Air Force they wouldn't let me take to basic training
I had a sock monkey made out of those red toed socks. I took mine to Michigan State Univ, to Univ of Chicago and on down to NO. I can't imagine the AF would not let you have yours. The philosophy profs at U of Chi sorta liked mine.
I had one of those monkeys also I gave mine to my little cousin.I can't remember who gave it to me now .Love your daughters Prim .Good job.
