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.

In a race against time, I subjected myself to making four hoodies before going on vacation for two weeks! I made these hoodies for a group of sock monkeys I began stuffing back in January. I’ve been so busy with knitted jumpers but these sweatshirt hoodies finally got their time! They’re made from a Japanese piggy print fabric I got at my favorite and local fabric store, Stitches, in Seattle.
I’m really excited about lots of things right now and one of them is a new outfit I’ve designed for my custom Mars Sock Monkeys! This outfit’s for the girls. Yay! Be back in a couple of weeks. I’m heading off to London to scout some socks, yarn and so many other things. Then it’s to Texas for some home made food and craft supplies. ;)
Btw I have new clothing labels! :D
