Little Monsters...

Keeping me company over the weekend:

One sick monster...
(well, when you throw up on your teddy bear, what else are you going to cuddle?)

... and one Sock Monster.In spite of one toddler with a 24hr stomach bug, I had a great time this weekend pattern-testing for Claire of Craft Schmaft. Her Sock Monster was one of the most gratifying craft projects I've done in a while. Short, simple, and I must say a FABULOUS use for all those lonely socks that I seem to acquire. This is actually the first-ever sock softie I've made. I think I'm in LOVE...

  1. Oh Gina... your sick monster and your sock monster are just adorable. I hope teddy has been washed and it back on cuddle duty. Despite it's best efforts, a bucket is just no substitute!

  6. Whilst I know that it is WRONG to feel this way, I do ... A poorly wee monster (not too poorly) means the monster is quiet, sleeps and rests a lot. Which means.. I can spread out my stuff and sew for more than 15 consecutive uninterrupted peaceful minutes..WRONG I know, but there it is... Your sock monster is ace and naturally I hope your bigger wee monster has recovered fully. Peta

  7. Ew. To the tummy bug. Let me tell you about my bunk bed concerns one day.

    Niiice to the sock monster. And yours has legs (mine has stumps but is vertically challenged). Also yours looks like he is compering the Logies - and then with personality.
