Colour of the Month

We've just entered Finn into Dawanda's Colour of the Month. The colour selected for August is white and entries must be predominantly this colour. Only 10% of another colour is allowed. We though Finn fit the bill perfectly and he's chuffed to have been chosen!

"Finn likes jam sandwhiches, bouncy castles, smiling and snorkeling. Finn has a loud laugh and his favourite word is 'dude'. Finn dislikes mushrooms and has a phobia of clowns."

New Business Cards

We eagerly opened up the post this morning to find our new business cards! We always seem to be running out at craft fairs so we decided it was time to invest in some new funky ones! Don't they look fab?!? We're really pleased with them and it's a great way to use some of our own photos. Check out http://uk.moo.com/en/ for your own Moo Mini cards!

Happy Ice Cream Day!

Happy Ice Cream Day everyone! A whole day to celebrate ice cream - wow! Dexter decided to enjoy his favourite ice cream (a mini thickshake lolly) on a lazy Sunday afternoon in the sun....what a treat.

eyes, eyes, eyes!

We have a number of fairs over the next few weekends so it was time to start restocking on our most popular buddies - our mini aliens. Today we were on eyeball duty - spending hours cutting out felt circles and stitching them on. It's not the most fun part of buddy making, but it's a necessary job!

After todays efforts, we think it might be a good idea to invest in some sort of felt cutting tool! Still, it's nice when all the little guys have their eyes sewn on and they are finished and ready for adoption. They're perfect for kiddies with little hands who like to give them a good squeeze (or use them for a game of catch!). So anyway, enough distractions, back to it.....

Our First Fair of the Year

We had a great day at the Dunsford Show yesterday. We managed to get ourselves organised for our first fair of the year and all the buddies were labelled and packed away the night before. For many of them it was their first time at a show so they were all really keen to impress!

The fair was good fun and lots of people came out to support the show. The weather was fab, the sun was shining (for the most part!) and there was lots to see and do. Lots of mini monsters made new friends and we were pleased that a number of our new larger aliens found home too. Ozzie the sock bear is even on his way to Australia and is super excited. He's already practising his Australian accent......g'day!

Our New Aliens

Introducing our new little aliens - aren't they cute? We had a bunch of socks that were going unused so we thought we'd see if we could come up with some new designs and these little fellas were created!

They're really cuddly and uber funky with floppy ears and dangly legs....adorable! Check them out at our online stores.

Anyone for a game of tennis?!?

Many of the buddies are excited coz it’s that time of year again....Wimbledon!!! Howie is a particularly keen tennis enthusiast and although isn’t great at playing (his arms are a little short!), he loves to watch! He’s looking forward to two weeks of sunshine, tennis action and some strawberries and cream!

As well as watching the tennis on TV, he also enjoys a good munch on a tennis ball!

Some of his sock buddy friends bet Goober that he wouldn’t fit into the tennis tube......of course Goober decided to prove them wrong,

but try as he might, he couldn’t seem to find a way in!
