See what happens when you give a girl an idea? I am going crazy with different sock animal ideas over here! In case you missed my previous post about Sock Animals... I have this book that is giving me ideas for all kinds of handmade, stuffed animals using socks or gloves. The idea for the mouse in the book used a grey mitten... the kind with the string attaching both mitten hands. So, they used one mitten and the string for the tail. I don't have a grey mitten, and I know I am certainly not going to find one anytime soon in AZ! So, I used a grey sock, some black fabric for the nose, pink fabric for the ears, and a hairband for the tail. Then, obviously black buttons for the eyes, and some white whiskers using thread...
Better view of the hairband tail...
My husband wanted it to be a mouse, but with fleas... as if it was carrying the bubonic plague! I told him that rats were the ones that spread it to humans... but, oh well! It's a mouse with fleas. I just made some black thread knots for the fleas...
The cat approved of my design...
