Naptime in Sockmonkeyville

Well, not all the sleepy critters in Sockmonkeyville are of the Simian variety. Tommy, our 10-1/2 year old cat, has chosen snuggling in with my own sock monkeys as a great way to get some quality rest. In fact, if you look at the left of the picture, you'll see the paw of a kind of sock monkey style stuffed cat doll that he's plopped right down on. Life is blissful in Sockeymonkeyville. Time to catch some kitty zzzzzz's!

Some new faces here and gone...

While the eBay part of my sock monkey domain has been quiet, I've been making a few sock monkeys to raise some money for my walk or for gifts. The angel - "Another Dawn" was commissioned by a truly angelic and heroic Dawn. Fifi and Tina's Bowling Fairy were for raffles at fundraisers for my team - The BC Babes. Let's not forget Emeline's naptime babysafe sock monkey, currently named "Monkey."

And then there was a special request for the apple of my eye - Anna! She asked for a sock monkey for her birthday... and there she got her wish! In fact, her wish is my very command! She spend a weekend with me this summer, and I introduced her to her first sewing machine experience... One rectangular fleece pillow may be starting her on her own sock monkey adventure in the future!!!
