A SOCK ELEPHANT

I have not been here in a long time !! So sorry if you are a follower of this blog.... I wanted to share with you a sock elephant which I made my daughter for Christmas 2008. I filled her with soft cotton and lavender since I knew she would be sleeping with her...and she loves lavendar.

I tried to keep the sock elephant as vintage looking as possible. I used vintage buttons for her eyes as well as fabric from a blouse my daughter liked to wear.

Hope this finds you well. Hope you like her !

A Vintage 30's Dress For An American Girl.....

My daughter & I went to see Kit Kitterage An American Girl from the 30's. We both loved the movie. It was sweet and touching taking you back to a sad time of the Depression. I loved the costumes. The girls dresses and the aprons the mother wore. So sweet. After the movie we went to her favorite book store The Book Worm. We found out their having a Kit American Girl Party on the 25th. Last Winter during another American Girl party she dressed up as Felicity from the Colonial period.

So.... Mama had to make her a dress for the Kit party. Here it is !!!

P.S There was a Sock Monkey in the movie when Kit's neighbors are moving a bed out of the house... it's sitting on the bed so sweet !!! I wanted to save it.

Isn't she darling in it ???

Notice a really old Vintage Sock Monkey accompanying her???

I think she is beautiful !!! She loves the dress. I will be adding an apron to the outfit and share pics. after the party !!!

Wishing you all a Happy Summer Weekend !!!

My Silly Birthday Give Away.....

Well the big day is in a few more days...so why not celebrate ! I thought it would be fun to give a gift for my Birthday this year. I put together a little something silly.... as you can see here, most of you know I love monkeys...Sock Monkey's especially !!

One name will be chosen to receive this sock monkey I made, two prints of original paintings I made of sock monkey's, a polka dot journal, magnets and comfy sock monkey slipper socks...



I chose these items because, to me this is all comfort things. I am the type of gal who loves to wear Jammie's and slippers all day....These are just a few of my favorites and thought I would share that with someone else.
So... leave me a comment here or on my other blog
