February 2011 Blog Update

Yes it is almost the end of February and still no sign of spring.  I am so tired of the gloomy, cold days of winter and craving warm, sunny days.  So if spring won't come to me, I will go to it.  So my daughter and I are off the Los Angeles/Disneyland for 6 beautiful days of fun in the sun and palm trees.  I can't wait, I am so excited to go to Disneyland - I love it there and it doesn't matter what age you are - it brings out the kid in you.  My mini sock monkey "Travelin' Pete" has his Mickey ears on and is ready to meet his idol - Mickey Mouse.
It has been another busy month of sock monkey birthday parties and custom orders.  I love the ideas for sock monkeys my customers come up with - they are so creative.  Here is my latest - Brobee from the Yo Gabba Gabba Show.  Now that I have conquered him, I am going to attempt the other characters.  Photos will follow next month.


A couple other monkey requests I am working on are a Mickey Mouse Sock Monkey, a hippo sock monkey and the Record Man from the Polka Dot Door.  I have such fun creating custom made sock monkeys and if anyone has a request, please send me an email and I will see what I can do.  - trenwen@shaw.ca.




I have been working on a couple new monkeys with different faces.. here are some photos of the new look.















I am continuing my quest to take a photo every day of 2011.  Below is my favorite photo from February.
