Cheaper Than Taxidermy And Nothing Has To Die

[dr_pretentious]

My mother, the mad quilter, has taken up making Stupid Sock Creatures.

Stupid Sock Creatures? Yes, Stupid Sock Creatures.

She may get me to take up sewing yet. Because the world desperately needs more Stupid Sock Creatures.

Is this what happens when you mate Lilo & Stich with Tim Burton?

Yes, adorable. If you are making them for niece: embroider eyes, do not use plastic or beads; do not use long strings; if little ornamental pieces, sew on very firmly and check the connection.
Put a peaceful happy smelly inside (lavender?)
Need some stuffing? I have some. And some tapestry needles. Want to meet to try these? I can do that.
Want to make a Cthulhu one?

September is my next crazy travel month. Maybe in October?

The website has a cthulhoid one that was clearly made with a glove, the fingers positions as tentacles. That sounds challenging, but entertaining.

I am immediately seized...

with the need to make a Stupid Sock Creature. It's like some kind of internet-transmitted Craft Virus.
