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 have a new batch Mix-and-Match Mars Sock Monkeys in the shop! These new sock monkeys come in various styles of rainbow socks so they’re super fun and colorful. These little guys are soft and cuddly, but they could use a hoodie to stay warm. Adopt one of these cute sock monkeys and their clothing at Maribel Made on Etsy.
Shop will be on vacation mode: Nov 25-Dec 2. Happy Thanksgiving!

Or something completely different! In time there should be the perfect Mars Sock Monkey for everyone. :)

My friend, who recently had a baby boy, created this “Woodland Creature” themed nursery with cute handmade toys, pillows, blankets and illustrations. It’s adorable! You can really tell how much love went into each item and Felix Mars Sock Monkey is no exception. These are only a few of pics so check out the complete nursery set on Sara’s flickr. :)

Meet Felix, the latest custom Mars Sock Monkey made for a soon-to-be-born baby boy! Felix wears a brown hoodie with blue & red striped sleeves with a cute little fox on the front. His hoodie also comes with fox ears to complement his woodland creature look, an awesome theme chosen by my client. Felix likes to roll in the grass, spring up from bushes and eat berries cereal. He is so cool!

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.

Here’s something I’d never made for a sock monkey before. It’s a knit romper with a pocket on the front, buttons on the strap and 2 smaller pockets on the back! This cool idea came from my Mom. She thought shorts would be perfect for summer and she’s right. Wearing a hoodie in the summer would be way too hot.
The best part about making this new piece of clothing was that it was very similar to knitting a sock. Using the “turning the heel” technique on the back made a nice little pouch for the monkey’s bottom. ;)

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!

My latest monkey Artie is a good example of a custom sock monkey with an initial hoodie. His hoodie includes two letters: an “A” on the front and an “S” on back. Each letter is also enclosed inside a heart, which was my client’s idea! Another interesting thing about Artie is that he was picked up by the buyer after I finished him. It was nice delivering Artie in person. :)
Later this week I’m listing a new sock monkey wearing a knit hoodie for sale in the shop. I’ll let you know when she’s ready!
