Remember the perennial sock monkey?
I still have a vintage one that mom made me back in the day. (I will not tell you how long ago that was.)
When the nieces and nephews were babies, I attempted to make some sock monkeys and even some sock elephants.
I think the elephant is still waiting, half finished with stuffing falling out.
Segue to last January.
I am a sucker for after Christmas sales and not just any sales. I live for the 75% and 90% off sales. I found some sock monkey wine bottle covers (originally $18) for a steal.
I bought a couple.
Segue to this Christmas.
I pulled one of those sock monkey covers out of the box. I realized that they were simply a sock with two buttons sewed on. I paid any amount of money for this?
I looked in my stash of sock monkey makings and found two more socks and some buttons.
I think mine will look just like the $18 one?
Luckily, my family is not coming until tomorrow!
I am off to finish some last minute cooking, wrapping, and gift-making!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
Merry Christmas to all!
(Sorry about the pictures. This was hastily written and hastily photographed and wouldn’t you know it? Drop box didn’t work, I couldn’t email them to myself and when I tried to down load them off the camera, all I could do was small square photoes!!!!????????)
Have a very Merry Christmas!
