Sock Monkey Fun

New Etsy Shop for Snotty Bots ~ Tissue Box Covers

Tamara — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:41:23 +0000

I recently decided to make a tissue box cover for my desk. I am an allergy sufferer and thus, have a tissue box on my desk all the time, and boy, are they ugly boxes!

I thought other people might like to cover them up too- so I launched a little store on Etsy.

And for those who play Minecraft!

Thanks for looking! and let me know what you’d like to see instead of an ugly cardboard box?

I love this idea! I recently recieved a request for sock monkeys to be used as a cake topper! How cute will that be. Here is the little couple and another couple that followed soon after.
Yellow must be a popular wedding color for this spring.

Some Days I Love My Work.

How many jobs (outside of the entertainment industry) result in unsolicited fan mail from sweet kids?

Here is a scan of letter I received today.

Thank you for making my day Baylie!

Much Loved Teddy Bear Has Minor Surgery

Tamara — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 22:58:59 +0000

One of my best friends is having a baby. She only has one stuffed toy from her childhood- a cute teddy bear that her aunt made for her. He was a little worse for wear, so she asked me to help him out.

As you can see – he was blind in one eye and had a few spots in need of care. His stuffing was not very fluffy anymore and it was never all that soft to start with- so she thought it might do for a refresh.

So, after some minor surgeries, two spa treatments in the gentle cycle of the washing machine (which resulted in a nose re-attachment), a stuffing replacement, a couple new eyes, and a good fur brushing….

Here he is- fresh and ready to loved by a new baby!

Cuter than ever!

Wedding in Hawaii!

This beautiful couple is off to Hawaii to get married!
They are both so excited. As you can see they have their tropical wedding attire just so, for their beach wedding. He is decked out in a custom Hawaiian shirt and top hat. She has a bridal veil with tropical flower, a coconut bra and grass skirt.

Don’t they look in love!

A Thank You to Tyler, my brother, for a design assist on the costume.

Dad Has Big Ears?

I got a request for an Outdoor Sock Monkey with DAD on the jacket and the ‘big ears’.

I bet their dad will not take it personal.
