quilts, too!

WOW!! Love the Sock monkey. Can you be my teacher?? Also love the clothes. Great job, and thank you for sharing.

MaryAnnMc 09-13-2011 07:32 AM

You are one special Nana!!

As for the owl stalking your poodle... I love owls. He's keeping the rat population down. But I wouldn't let that pup out the door alone! A leash will be your best bet. Good luck, and try to enjoy your vacation. My DH and I go out of our way to have wildlife near.

What lucky little girls you have!!!

SandraD 09-13-2011 07:45 AM

Wow - what fun! Adorable. Nice work. Lucky little girls.

Nikki and Co. 09-13-2011 07:48 AM

Those are darling, little girls love changing their clothes and what a wonderful wardrobe they have to choose from. Nice work!

WOW! Love all the monkey clothes!! Perhaps more would be made for Christmas??

I know the feeling about birds. In the winter outside our kitchen window we have three birdfeeders. It was so enjoyable watching the finches, sparrows, cardinals, etc. come to eat. Then it was that they came quite sparingly until my daughter noticed a hawk at the top of the neighbor's tree.

What to do?

carolynjo 09-13-2011 08:00 AM

what a wonderful gramma you are! The girls will have hours of fun playing, imagining, and laughing with their sock monkeys!

lheartsl 09-13-2011 08:03 AM

wow nice job on the clothes with no pattern! beautiful...
I have a sock monkey that my grandma made (she was born 1910) and she made this when she was a teen... so i am guessing this is about 80 years old????

Elainequilts 09-13-2011 08:04 AM

You have really been busy! Such lucky little ones.

MrsM 09-13-2011 08:28 AM

You are a terrific Nanna. Need another grandaughter? :thumbup:

Here it is mid September all the requested clothes and quilts are ready for the girls to pick up this weekend. I hope they will be pleased - Nanna had no patterns and utilized fabrics from stash. Here are the party dresses, party jackets, summer blouses, pyjamas, sweaters, fleece jackets and pants - and all three quilts - meantime a Horned Owl has been stocking our teacup poodle, along with all the other pets in the RV Park - there are 2 skreeching Owls and 2 Horned Owls - we always have to be on guard - stressful vacation



wow, you have been busy!

Bonbonary 09-13-2011 08:44 AM

The girls are gonna love the new clothes.

dphelps 09-13-2011 08:59 AM

Wow, you are the best Nanna ever! These will all be cherished I am sure. For the three year old that visits with her mother, maybe you could make her a stuffed owl as a remembrance of your stay there.

very cute. Those are some very special girls.

All are just too precious. You have been very busy.

Janice Thompson 09-13-2011 11:22 AM

Your Grandaughter will always cherish you for making the sock monkey and clothes for her and her friends. Beautiful work.

RobertaMarie 09-13-2011 12:13 PM

~~~what a good Nana you are!! These are all cute as can be. I know the girls will be squealing with delight.
Better keep an eye on the fur baby. Mr Owl might swoop up a teacup poodle and have him for dinner. Other than that, I like owls. ;)

daylily4u 09-13-2011 01:03 PM

Love the sock monkey and their clothes, the girls are really going to enjoy them very much. I would love to make a sock monkey! Is it a pattern which I could purchase at Joann's??
I love your little dog, surly need to keep a very close eye on him, or her. The owl can be so quick!

sassey 09-13-2011 01:03 PM

wow cute you have a lot of talent I screw up every time I make such small projects

megs0863 09-13-2011 01:10 PM

Nice. Sock dolls are fun to make.

lenette 09-13-2011 03:11 PM

I've never seen a sock monkey with clothes! That is super! And how loving of you to make them for her friends, too.

MargeD 09-13-2011 03:37 PM

I love your Sock Money, I've never seen one done in grey before and I like it. You will indeed give them the best dressed sock moneys ever and they will love them. You're a wonderful grandma to do that for them, but isn't it fun to make them and make your grandchildren happy?

Taughtby Grandma 09-13-2011 05:06 PM

Great job, I can see 3 happy little girls very soon.

janetter 09-13-2011 05:19 PM

I'm still amazed that you did all of this from a motorhome. Good for you they luck wonderful

Nettie Phillips 09-13-2011 05:39 PM

Love the sock monkey. I made them when I was a girl.

jrtpetey 09-13-2011 05:43 PM

Those are adorable!

Patti Mahoney 09-13-2011 08:26 PM

So so so cute. I've always wanted a sock monkey but never made one because I didn't want more 'stuff' to lay around the house. Hopefully, one day, I'll have grandbabies to sew for. You are not only talented but a very lucky lady to have three littles all asking for your crafts..Keep up the good work.

rona thickpenny 09-13-2011 10:55 PM

Clever lady ,lucky girls .

gmaybee 09-14-2011 03:24 AM

I think your granddaughter and her friends are going to be very happy. Nice job.

viblakey 09-14-2011 05:47 PM

Those girls are lucky to have someone who loves them that much.

marthahelen 09-16-2011 08:10 AM

What a good grammy you are! All of the children in my family received a sock monkey and now that some of them are older, they still treasure them. The clothes are beautiful.

Joan Gaddis 09-16-2011 08:40 AM
