Happy 2011 everyone!! This first week flew super fast, but I got to stuff lots of sock monkeys! There’s good news too. I have a new sock monkey with a hand-knit heart hoodie. Samie is inspired from the original Samantha Mars Sock Monkey, which everyone loves! I also listed new striped sock monkeys Haden, Jack and Maddy plus polka dot lady Roxy. These and other Mars Sock Monkeys are available for sale on Etsy. :)

I found a great sock monkey to match the newly designed mushroom sundress! Neve Mars Sock Monkey is made from a pair of white socks with thin purple, blue, silver and yellow stripes. Besides wearing a cute dress she also comes with a matching bow to adorn her head. She’s a doll! I lover her. :)
Neve is available for sale on Etsy.

I just listed a new sock monkey for sale on Etsy! Apple Mars Sock Monkey comes with hand-knit green & pink heart hoodie and she’s made from a pair of kid size pink & brown knee-high socks. Unlike most other knitted hoodie Mars Sock Monkeys, Apple is not a custom sock monkey so anyone can purchase her. :)
Next time I’ll tell you more about custom Mars Sock Monkeys and how you can get one of your own!

Meet my newest sock monkeys, Peggy and Cookie! They’re the first Mars Sock Monkeys made from my home in Brooklyn. These hip gals are wearing the signature Pink ♥ Hoodie well known to the classic Mars Sock Monkey. Lately I had been using so many different designs for the front of the sweatshirts that I thought it’d be nice to go back to basics. I’m going to continue to make more heart hoodies, including some with stars for the boys.
Peggy and Cookie Mars Sock Monkeys are available for purchase at Maribel Made on Etsy. Happy shopping! Next time I’ll tell you how to make the reversible totebag I made last week at Etsy Labs. :)

Spring is in full swing at Maribel Made. It’s also a great time to tell you about the newest batch of Spring inspired Mars Sock Monkeys! They’re cute and colorful since they’re made from multi-color plaid and rainbow stripe socks. Their sweatshirts also come in brightly colored solids mixed with some fun prints. The felt designs on the front include a bird, a sunflower, an apple, a daisy and a star. :)
Get your sock monkey now because these may be some of the last sock monkeys I make before I try relocating to NY. Wish me luck! “Spring” Mars Sock Monkeys are available on Etsy.

I’m back home from a great vacation to two of my favorite destinations: London and El Paso. I picked up some yarn and trim at Liberty in Oxford Street, craft bows and satin roses from The Make Lounge and socks from TOPMAN and the Camden Lock Market. In Texas, I visited Hobby Lobby for some stationary, stickers and more bows.
I had so much fun while I was away, but it feels good to be back home with all my supplies! I was also happy to see Anita, Andre and Bunny patiently waiting for my return. They too want to travel so they can’t wait to find new loving homes. Hopefully they get to go far and wide in their lifetime. :)
To purchase one of these sock monkeys, click on their photo or visit Maribel Made on Etsy.
