More sock monsters (again)

Yeah, another sock monster photo. Sorry. :) Maybe I'll post some real content here one of these days! (I've put up quite a lot of real content on my sabbatical blog this week, though. Check that out for posts about a conference I went to, including posts on innovation, leading in uncertain times, church growth, meaning of the gospel, etc.)

Anyhow, back to the point...

We had dinner tonight with some friends, including one friend's daughter (who I think is about 8). I was giving a bag full of the sock monsters for the women's retreat to Lisa. She pulled out the sock monsters and showed them to the 8-year-old.

Call it market research: she loved them!


She asked if I could make a cat (in blue, red or white). I came home, did some internet searching for what a cat looks like (haha; I actually found a few flickr images of sock kitties) and came up with this. It's not perfect, but I think it's recognizable.







I also pulled up a sock monster I'd started a long time ago and finished it for another friend's daughter. This girl has been going thru a hard time lately, so we hope that "Eunice" and her three crazy ears will bring a smile to her face.



No more sock monsters for a while, I think! :) Tomorrow, I'll be doing some work around the house, reading while watching our new deck continue to be installed, and preparing to teach my session at the retreat on Saturday.
