G.0: Monkeys off

 Getting On: Two Monkeys Are Moving On


These two dinosaur sock monkeys are going to two little boys  a friends nephews.

Made in summer 2012, with the buttons added a week before the boys got them. They were made with a set of baby boy socks, for 6 + months, toy stuffing, threads and small buttons.

I love the colours and stripes, one of the most colourful sock monkeys I have made, especially with such small socks. Making them cheerful companions for  young (but older children), for  girls or boys.


I hope they are enjoying their new friends.


Thanks for reading - and I'll be posting new items of  jewellery and sock monkeys and other products this weekend.

G.O: Dino Sock monkes have a good home

Well two little guys have found a home - with a friends nephew. I finished the little one up, and they are off to two little boys. So there will be lots of fun x

 I will be posting some pictures soon of them before they left. I'm hoping to post some more on etsy and possibly start some new accounts, maybe  should get these winter trends pages out and see what you all think where would be best - more social sites and forums to more online stores or even youtube?

Anyways I hope you will enjoy the photos soon.

G.O : The market

Well I had a market stall, with my sister's help it went ok. I was almost out of pocket, making only £35, with mixed weather and a broken suitcase - it lost a wheel, somehow, unfortunately I was using it to transport everything, from bracelets, table cloth, key rings, second hand clothing and so on.

I took my sister because she's good at designs, and was a great help with the layouts of products especially since I had a very collective set of items. She was not great at pricing, using very low values on most things, despite the time I had spent on them. Going for £0.50 to £3 on almost everything that wasn't hers. Pricing is hard, but it was hard to agree on good prices.

I have learnt a lot about layout, style and how hard it is to prepare, as well as what sells.

I will be posting the items on my etsy shop, and though I plan on doing a stall next year, only without such a collective set of products, from handmade and second hand to only handmade items.
