A new sock monkey - for an "old" friend

Sometimes I know who will be the next sock monkey... sometimes I don't. I was on my way to make a completely different sock monkey, when Rick and I found this little boombox. I had recently purchased this Hawaiian outfit. BINGO! The Cathy Sock Monkey for the Cure was designed! Cathy is the "Official" (volunteer) Dancing Lady for the Michigan Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk. I've known her and her boombox since I met Cathy while I was walking and she was dancing at the 2002 3 Day. We've been friends since, and I was able to be her "roadie" for 2 Michigan walks. That woman is an energizer bunny, and until you've shlepped along with her, you have no idea how much she puts into this event! She spends a month or so in the winter in Maui at her condo. Cathy is also a survivor, and she is tireless in her work to create awareness about BC - and to get people off their butts and onto their feet! You can see Cathy here, on the left, getting a "high five" from a very cheery walker! (Cathy - sorry - I don't have any pictures of you in action...from the front!)

Boogie On, Dancing Lady... in a bit...

OOOPS! I inadvertently messed up and included a reference to this blog and my sock monkey website... and Cathy was obliterated in an eBay violation! The folks who were bidding and watching apparently were sent an email that Cathy and I had been sent to eBay jail or something like that... so if you were one of those folks, she WILL be relisted, once eBay accepts my truly humble apology. Ya live, ya learn. Meantime, I have listed Denise, who was created in memory of my friend who died at age 34. Take a look. No .coms this time!

If you blinked, you missed it!

Whoooosh! Dawn was placed on Ebay... and in less than 12 hours... POOF! She was snapped up by a lovely woman in Iowa! How terrific!

Sock Monkey Slow Down

With Lorraine and Ruthe on their way to their new homes, it's a bit quiet on the Sock Monkey front right now. Sewing time has been curtailed by "real work" time, so the sewing machine is cooling off for a short bit. In the meantime, I'm also working on 5 commissioned sock monkeys... sooooooo..... I hope to be back on Ebay again real soon!
