Christmassy Sock Monsters

I've had some mismatched Christmas toesocks that I've been meaning to make monsters out of, but had been putting it off until the Christmas season...

I love that green button! It's my last one...which is mostly the reason he has only one eye! None of my other green buttons worked as well as this one, and I didn't have any other buttons that went with it. That's the beauty of making monsters...you can get away with giving them only one eye!

go-ed asked alice .... cheesey cheshire cat ...

i waited untill my dormouse and cheshire cat arrived at 'go ask alice' before sharing the cats pictures ... i thought cimmi might enjoy the surprise !

The Spotted Galliwumpf

I made this monster last Saturday afternoon and finished her up while I was at the art show. She's made from clean, recycled socks. I love her fuzzy belly! This is the Spotted Galliwumpf (or Gally, as she prefers to be called). She LOVES buttons!...she thinks they're delicious! If you're missing a button, Gally probably ate it. She'd better not find out that she has buttons for eyes...or she'll probably eat those too!

I'm putting Gally up for sale in my shop. But I think she's another one of my favorite monsters that's going to be hard to part with!

Aino the rag-cat

This is Aino.
She likes to ride her bike and to play house. She's also really good at baking, even if she does like to eat the cookie dough more than actually make anything.

Aino is made from linen and she's filled with rags and organic cotton batting -her tail is stuffed with just the cotton batting. She has tiny little button eyes and a very old plastic button for a belly button. Her nose is embroidered and she has healthy blushy cheeks.
Aino is wearing a chocolate brown linen pinny, a brightly patterned green dress made from an old cotton pillowcase with a white cotton Peter Pan collar and pretty brown felt mary-jane shoes with little decorative buttons on them. The pinny and dress both fasten with a snap on the back.
