Sock Animals -With Becca

It all started last year when I (Becca) was given a make your own sock bunny kit. That's how the interest started. I needed a quick easy sew it yourself project to use at the clothiers guild sessions. Sock bunnies were the way forward. So we made an army:

Then for Christmas this year my sister brought me a book - how to make more sock animals http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/160061907X/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0297853473&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1BTX97SGBE5V8Q323KGX

The only problem is that you're supposed to use stray socks or unpaired socks. But any good mafia member knows you don't wear pairs of socks so that you don't limit your wardrobe. So I have to keep going out and buying new socks. (Be wary no sock is safe!!)

So armed with a pile of socks and a duvet I got to making some. To start with the Cheshire Cat

It all starts with a head

And a body

Sew it all together and add eyes mouth and a button nose

Cheeky Kitteh

And then using a baby sock I made a squirrel for my mother

But the adventure isn't over yet..... I have many more socks and things to sew... watch this space.

New Year Presents

Due to the Mafia's great love of Cats we were gifted a Cat sticker book. Unfortunately for everyone else they have now started appearing all over the office, including the 1H NMR spectral characteristics. We can inform you that cats between a range of 10-12 on a 1 H Spectra. The book also includes such amazing cat facts as: "Cats have 244 bones in their bodies, that's 38 more than humans have!"

Saffy received some new gloves, with which she can carry out puppet shows. Today we're hoping for a lunchtime matinee.

Also a necessary staple to any Mafia member's wardrobe - unmatching socks, knitted lovingly by Marie for Saffy.
