| Sock Monkey for Stella |
When Stella was here in July, I started this sock monkey. This is literally made from
Rockford Red Heel Socks. I remember Grammy (Catherine Morehead Hogan Selby) making these. What's old is new again if you think of the Kia commercial.
The other thing I remember Grammy making is the yo-yo doll. That I can't make for Stella right now--at least not in the format I remember it. Small circles of fabric were basted around the outside edge and then gathered into a circle. I remember doing this with Grammy. You'd need lots of these circles to make the yo-yo clown doll. I remember it having jingle bells where the hands and feet would be. I don't remember the face. When I went looking for it on the Internet, I found this image.
Ding Dong School with Miss Frances!!!
