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. :)

There’s something new happening in the Maribel Made Etsy shop! I now sell individual Mars Sock Monkeys and Mars Hoodies. These new sock monkeys come unclothed so you can put together your own custom Mars Sock Monkey. Maybe you want a striped rainbow sock monkey with heart hoodie? Or black cat? Or something completely different! In time there should be the perfect Mars Sock Monkey for everyone. :)

Check out the felt cake I made at Etsy Labs Faux Felt Cakes With My Candy Castle craft night. It’s a bit vampire-esque mixed with Americana!

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.

Yesterday I went to an Etsy Craft Party at their headquarters located in Brooklyn, NY. The event celebrated creativity and community not in the great city of Brooklyn, but also in many other cities all around the globe. It was a blast and I met a lot of great crafty people! There was food, music, drinks and lots of craft activities to choose from.

I spent most of my time glass painting (see octopus arms glass) which I missed at a previous Etsy Labs craft night. I also got around to screen printing my own Etsy totebag! There was also a station for making bunting and crazy party hats, which was very interesting to see. The event also happened to be Etsy’s 5th birthday so Happy Birthday 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.  :)

Did you know Maribel Made is now based in Brooklyn, NY? It’s only been a little over one week since I left Seattle, but I can tell I’m really going to enjoy living here for the next three months. There are so many things I already love about New York and one of them is the fact that I’m really close to Etsy, which hosts a weekly craft night every Monday at their Etsy Labs headquarters in Brooklyn.

Earlier this week I attended my very first session: Stenciled Cards. There was  a demonstration by Ed Roth using stencils from his new Stencil 101 Stationery Kit, which I used to make a couple of greeting cards. I made a Thank You card and a Birthday Card for my soon-to-be birthday boy. I can’t wait to go to next week’s Reversible Totebag class.

I’m really happy I’ll have more crafty projects to share with you. I’ve already received my new sewing machine so it won’t be too long before you’ll see some Brooklyn raised Mars Sock Monkeys. They’re on the horizon!

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.
