Travelling back in time to childhood, do you remember the sock monkey's granma used to make when you went to visit? Or maybe you never had one in your youth. You can certainly have one now for you to decorate or have for your grandchild. Above is a photo of the front of the Sock Monkey.
Below is the back view which I've shown for a purpose.... the back of the ears. It is said that every Persian rug has an imperfection in it because only God can make something perfect. And the olden days in America people used to 'make do' with what they had. And so I'm making my Sock Monkey with both thoughts in mind.
The Sock Monkey measures 22" from top of head to toes and can be yours for $40 plus
shipping.

Here's Andy, Annie and the
thought behind the making of these is that they were made by a granny
and her granddaughter. This was a joint effort using whatever
pieces of fabric Granny could find and teaching basic sewing skills to
her granddaughter. I tea stained them to give the idea of
well loved and well played with dollies. Andy
and Annie are approx is approximately 21" tall. His hair, appliquéd nose and lips
are torn red fabric. Pants are faded blue & white stripe denim. Annie is wearing aged fabric dress, yellow and white gingham collar and
bloomers, has red torn strips braids for her hair and red and white gingham
bows. Her apron is a vintage hand towel with handiwork.
Sold individually $45 each.
