New Creatures

I have been working on cards with paper flowers. I got to thinking, how can this translate into my OTHER hobby of sock creatures?


So after some experiments I came up with a flower made out of socks and made into a headband or neck flower.

I haven't been able to name this new creature, so if you have a suggestion I would love to hear it. For now I just call her "TBD"

This one is a Zwid creature, made even prettier!


These are some variations on this project. Comment and let me know if you be interested in step by step instructions.
Thank you for stopping by!

My first Non-Sock sewing job! (not too good)

Pulled out the sewing machine today to create an "outfit" for my sock creature. One of my co-workers is very sick and I wanted to give her a creature. I call her the "Alpha Male" of the office so we thought it would be funny to give it some camo.



I went to the Goodwill store looking for some Camo fabric. I found this old hunting vest. I washed it and it had something crinkly inside. Apparently the crinkly stuff broke apart and got all over the dryer (that is another story)


So I liked the cool pockets on the vest (Jeff says they are for your shot gun shells). So I ended up making it into a romper. Thank goodness it is supposed to look a little "off".... because it does. His new name is "Mobile Romper Unit Alpha"



I will probably put some very girly things in these pockets for my co-worker. Like lip gloss and nail polish. I mean he is wearing a ROMPER for goodness sake!


Thanks for taking a look!

Published in Stuffed Magazine!

I have been keeping this under wraps since Feb! For the most part because I was afraid I would tell everyone then it would turn out it was all a misunderstanding and Stuffed Magazine was publishing me by mistake. So on July 1st I felt like I was going to throw up, then the magazine came in the mail and I am really in it!!

So after months of not telling anyone, now I am totally telling everyone!


Another cool thing is that my sock creature idol, John Murphy, is the featured artist for this issue. John is very humble so I won't say he inspired me, but he helped me develop a passion for this great hobby! Thanks John.
Be sure to checkout his WEBSITE to get info on his latest book and see more of his creatures.

Yipee!! If you pick up an issue, my guy "Plank" is on page 133! Sorry for all the exclamation points!
