sock it to me

Two packages from Amazon.com came for me yesterday, with four books that I'd pre-ordered and almost forgotten all about. Soon, I'll put them on that as-yet-non-existent third blog I talked about earlier, but for now, I just want to tell you about one of them.

Now, I own (and have looked at) a lot of craft books. I mean, really a lot, just ask my husband. And there's usually at least one or two projects from each that I want to bookmark, or that make me want to start gathering supplies. But I don't think I've ever had one that grabbed me so immediately and made me conquer my fears and whip out a finished product in less than a couple of hours.

One baby sock, a pair of scissors, a needle, thread and some stuffing (a surprisingly large quanitity, actually!) all combined to create Beatty, the Box Tops bunny. Remember my little request for Box Tops? For each one you send me, you'll get a chance to win this little fella! I'm extending the drawing date to October 15, and I'll pick a winner after I get the mail that evening.

And in case someone doesn't want to part with Beatty, I'll make another from the other sock...

Good thing they come in pairs.

LOL! I was wondering just how you were going to ship both cutie pies to the winner! Glad you have an alternate plan! :)

this book reminds me of the Sock and Glove book which i was obsessed with for about six months.

while the sock is adorable, i think the model is adorable-er! :)

Just clicked over from Craft Leftovers and I am crazy about that adorable sock creature! I wish I could send you my box tops but my 8 year old takes them to his school. I'm bookmarking your site, it looks so neat!

So cute! As I was reading, I was wondering how you were going to pry Beatty away from J. :)

Is that a Japanese craft book? Cuz the characters are all Chinese, but they don't seem to make sense. I've always wondered why other Asian countries didn't come up with some cute craftiness - I remember some cute stuff from when we were in Taiwan.
