Sock Monkey Blog Hop! Help Me Name My Sweet Monkey Girl! :-)

I was beyond excitied when I was asked to be a part of this months blog hop! As many of you know, I collect all things Sock Monkey! My tallest is an incrediable 4 feet tall! I have quilts and even Christmas Stockings with Sock Monkeys but I have never made an actual sock monkey before. So what could be better but to create a special monkey, the very first sock monkey, for my studio!

 27 very talented designers each recieved a package that contained the When Creativity Knocks Sock Monkeys Go BanAnas WCK VideoBook,(Which I must say is AWESOME!) one pair of FoxRiver: Original Rockford Red Heel socks, a JudiKins monkey rubber stamp and any three colors of Rit dye they chose. We were then given a couple of weeks to watch the how-to video and come up with our own Sock Monkeys.

I decided to create a traditional sock monkey with a few extras.  I used the leftover pieces of the sock to create hair for my sweet monkey.  I also sewed on earrings and created her a necklace and bracelet as well as a pillowcawse dress.  I absolutely love how she turned out and cannot wait for you to help me name her!

Supplies:

The Sock Monkey assembly took very little time.  Less than 1 1/2  hours and that was not working on it the whole time.  The dress and jewelry took probably close to that same amount of time.  So for around 3 hours or so I ended up with an adorable Sock Monkey I will treasure for years to come!
