I made this card for my 6 year old who is staying with grandma and grandpa for 2 whole weeks! I thought I would make her a little card with my new set! I also wanted to try out my sewing machine a little more. The monkey is paper pieced and placed up on dimentionals!
My sock monkey in the picture is over 35 years old. It's very worn from much love. I was the last of the 11 grand children of my paternal grandmother to receive one of these because she died of breast cancer a few years after I was born. I have this sitting on my shelf and I look at it all the time. I thought it was pretty cool that SU came out with this stamp! I'm sure my grandmother would love this!

I remember this sock monkey. Lucky 6 yr. old to get your darling card! Wish i would of had a sock monkey from my Grandmother to cherish. I had a flip flop doll she made that had a black face and body on one end and a white face doll body on the other end. You would flip her back and forth to see one doll or the other. It was lost long long ago before i left home at 18. This really brings back memories. WISH i had her NOW! Diana

I LOVE sock monkeys. I've made them for years out of the red heel socks. I don't have one myself, but I think I'm going to just NEED to make one. LOL I used to make them and crochet hats and skirts for the girls and hats and vests for the boys. FUN FUN FUN!!!
I cannot WAIT till this stamp set is available for ordering.
