Back in my early days of crafting, I made sock monkeys. I was working at an insurance company at the time and my husband was working nights. Stitching, stuffing and giving "life" to these little guys kept me busy. I sold them at work for $5.00 a piece. I probably made a hundred of them.When I came to my senses... I made them only for special friends having babies, and for our own children.
But now... Sock Monkeys are back! Our grandkids each have one, new friends with babies are getting them... and there is a special Sock Monkey Embassador named TT who is traveling around the country to visit online friends. He travels with a journal and map. TT has attended weddings, been on a cruise, visited Disneyland and has met (and brought smiles) to dozens of my cyber-friends.
