These little critters are made from my old socks. At Christmas I got loads. Its common knowledge I like stripy colourful long socks. Now I have so many I've decided to transform the holey ones that I don't wear anymore. The middle one needs stitches around his mitts. And of course I washed them first!! I'm toying with the idea of making some more. Maybe I could sell them somewhere? For the moment, I quite like the little trio sitting on my desk.
This is my attempt at a plush doll bogg-girl style! Her eyes looked really wrong, so I wussed out and just used some little dots of felt. She was time consuming for me to make, I'm not a fast sewer without the luxury of a machine, but she looks sweet enough. She now lives in my bedroom, next to the ewok and a pile of books.

Hello,
Oh your little girl is funny, she has such long arms and short legs!
I really love her head, the hair is fabulous, a really wonderful shape, and the colour looks good with the stitching and turquoise string bow.
Your little sock creatures are great too, i love the contrast between the sock material and the felt, and its good having them all the same shape but different features. There seem to be alot of soft toys about at the moment, these socks are some of my favourites.
