I heart Sock Monkeys

Yes I love Sock monkeys... and after watching Mr Magorium's Magical Emporium tonight with Lee I decided that I want to make sock monkeys for Anna and Lily.. I actually already have the supplies needed...though I need to find some thread, a needle and some straight pins. I had bought the supplies (ok it's a kit)... some time ago.. when having babies was on the horizon but not a reality yet. Heck I like to plan ahead.. I might need some assistance though from my mom. She made me a sock monkey when I was approx 6 years old. The ones I will be making are mini sized ones so we'll see how it goes.

I also want to make the sock monkeys at this point in time since one of my favorite kid clothing stores is coming out with a line who's theme is Sock Monkeys (though I'm not supposed to know this info already but I have reliable sources) and I am thrilled to pieces about this.. So I NEED to make Anna and Lily their own sock monkeys.. I may need to figure out a different way to do the eyes though since Googly eyes aren't safe for babies and that is what is in the kit.. I may also use some of my yarn in my knitting stash for the ribbon that goes around the monkey's neck instead of the ribbon given in the kit..

Wish me luck???
