I just signed up for Ping.fm to make social networking more effiecient.

I should write a book and call it the Secret Life of Socks. It will feature all my quirky sock critters.

My friend NervousOnion makes really cool sock critters too in a style completely different than my own. It's amazing how many people can take the same basic idea, and push it in all new directions. Got socks? Hide them from us or we'll turn them into something bizarre.

I took new photos of all these today and added them to my etsy shop.

Sock-O-Saurus Rex

My first sock dinosaur. I call him Sock-o-saurus Dex. 

I called this dinosaur Sock-o-saurus Rex and gifted it to my son-in-law. I didn't know if he'd like it or not but he loved it.

Another bunny made from the Boys Stink sox. 

Oops, posted this one twice.

Bunny with eyes that say Osh Kosh. 

Lop earred duck bunny. 

The sox on this one say 'boys stink'. The hat is removeable. This was the first one I finished for the duel. 

I challenged another sock maker to a duel to see who could make five sock critters first before a deadline on Friday at midnight. Thursday, just after midnight, I finished my last one and posted it to the tribe. Not 12 minutes later she posted hers! I'd assumed she was long ago in bed. I realized she must have stayed up til 3 AM her time finishing hers. Glad I went ahead and put the photos up, since I almost waited until morning. It was a close race. Anyway, here are photos of the five I made. 

Kitty and Monkey in case someone wants a Valentine's Day gift. 

My first giraffe. Definitely one of a kind, because I don't think I will ever see sox like this again. 

Cow will button eyes and button nostrils. 

Octina was adopted by my daughter as a graduation present. She picked that one out of all the sock critters I had available. She just got her B.A. in Art and Design.

Hey big boy! 

Catooie sideways.
