Now, you have to understand how hilarious it is to think of me
SEWING something. I simply am NOT talented like that.
But since I love The Toy Society so much I am going to attempt to sew a toy for it. I just ordered THIS for ideas, so as soon as it arrives let the sewing begin!
Don't worry, I'll take pictures of the entire process for entertainment purposes.
It's gonna take a miracle for me to pull this one off, so I thought Giant Jesus would be an appropriate 'Did It' for today from my '2 tears in a Bucket List'.

Of COURSE you're going to start with a sock monkey! What else? But, uh, Punkin, last I heard you didn't have a sewing machine - are you going to stitch it by hand? Cool! Love you.
shit! i need a sewing machine? nooooooooooooooooo!
You can do it! I just finished drawing up the pattern for my chicken for the toy society. I might try to work it up this weekend.
Check your classifieds for a machine. Oh Wait, ask one of the sweet little quilting ladies to borrow one.
One of D's very first toys was a sock monkey which believe it or not still sits on the shelf in the toy closet today. It was handmade by D's great-grandmother. Given the age of it, it sits high enough that the children can't reach it! Don't look now but our Di is becoming domesticated!
i can't wait to see the chicken!
and phyllis- d's first toy was a sock monkey? omg you know sock monkeys are my favorite things in the world? i might be stealing it the next time we visit :)
Well, baby, I still have my sewing machine! It's small and portable, and coming to Iowa with me. But you can sew a toy by hand - wouldn't take that long.
So, Big D had a sock monkey? Just proves you 2 were meant for each other!!!
Had a dozen of those socks in high school, trying to be different. It worked, never got a date. But it will be fun trying to guess the mystery photo contest when she gets the first one done! Love ya triple D's
Ha! Bigheaded Bob! I am NO sewing wizard, either, but hey, I did recently sew, by hand, a stuffed little guitar in guitar fabric for my cousin's baby shower. The fabric matched the nursery/crib set that mommy made herself. I made a pattern from a toy guitar of Jackson's. I know, I know....I am Da Bomb!! Daddy LOVED it as well as everyone else who saw it...so I am still quite pleased with myself. You can see it on my blog at www.weallhaveonemineisjustright.blogspot.com...the title of the post is A Small Word That Was A Big Surprise
Have you seen Giant Jesus and his Mother Giant Mary yet, http://www.trinityheights.com/
they're in Sioux City
The boys ran all over their lawn and I didn't see all the gigantic "keep off the grass" signs till I was buckling their seatbelts for the trip home.
So I felt guilty and sent the little ones over to the contributions box with dollars.
