I think God wants me to make Sock Monkeys...

Thu Nov 13, 2008, 11:06 PM
Today, I had several people say that the sock monkeys I make are way better than others that they've seen in shops and stores. And that I should make them and sell them, like now, please, for holiday shopping! Another friend asked me to make one for her take back east for a young relative's first birthday. Lots of gifts were opened from pricey shops and catalogs while my friend thought, "Ok - I put it in a box. It's wrapped nicely..." and waited for the reaction when it was finally opened. Apparently, it was the hit gift of the party and she has people lined up to buy my monkeys.
Is this a sign from heaven to make sock monkeys as a business? My husband says, "Don't quit your day job!" ;-P
Stay tuned...

I can't help but create things - sewing, drawing, writing, acting - it's always a part of me and is who I am. If I couldn't work on something creative, I would probably slowly pull out all my hair. Eyelashes, eyebrows - all of it. I just started a new business called, "Creative Office Guru" for professionally prepared documents and publications on a free lance basis. Still not quitting my day job - even though I took a pay/hour reduction this year (-10%).

SOCK MONKEYS AND SOXXIE THINGS DISCLAIMER: Regular sock monkeys are safe for all ages - even babies - because they do not have buttons. Soxxies and non-traditional sock monkeys should be for age 5 and up. Past the age of chewing buttons, please. And they should NEVER be given to dogs as they are bad for the digestion and conducive to surgeries. Sitter Soxxies have plastic "beanies" in them for weight and should be given to age appropriate recipients. Thank you!
