My dear friend, who I have been friends with since the age of fifteen -and she was my maid of honour, sent me a message a little while ago asking me how to make a sock monkey. Her son had seen mine on Facebook and wanted Mom to make one for him. She is having problems with her hands at the moment so she couldn't make him one. He decided he was going to make one himself! Mom was able to help a tiny bit, but he did it almost all on his own. He's 8. I can't resist posting his sock monkey! I didn't even ask. I hope he doesn't mind. Remember, an eight year old boy who (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't sewn anything before made this. Isn't it adorable?
I just love it! You have no idea how proud he is. I'm honoured that mine was his inspiration. He's got two people asking for one (gramma and auntie) I haven't got the heart to ask him what the accessory is. I've asked his mom quietly in a private message. I'll let you know when I know.
He makes me smile. I had to share.
I got such a kick out of this. He did a great job and he should be proud of it.
