Just a quick little update to say that we finally found some time to photograph, edit and upload a a few new buddies into our Dawanda store. Check them out here http://en.dawanda.com/shop/eckelandnoo/164214-Sock-Buddies?#shop_products.

It's not long now til the start of the holiday craft show season. We're busy trying to schedule our calendar of Christmas fairs and markets. Last Christmas was a bit of a manic rush trying to get into any last minute events, so this year we've decided to be a bit more organised and plan ahead! Still, even applying in April, many of the larger events are already full!! We're hoping to attend as many shows as possible around Devon so we'll keep you updated. If anyone has any events planned and would like some nice cuddly little buddies to come along, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you!

We're very excited to introduce our new range of Sock Vampires and Monsters created especially for the upcoming Halloween holiday! They make ideal Halloween companions and enjoy cuddling up on the sofa watching scary movies and greeting trick or treaters!

Meet Damon. "Damon is a little vampire who enjoys apple bobbing, visiting haunted houses, going to costume parties and telling ghost stories. He likes toffee apples, is afraid of pumpkins and his favourite colour is orange."

Say hi to Zookie. "Zookie believes he is a ninja. He likes blue ice-pops, jelly beans, rollerblading and coffee cake. Zookie dislikes worms and is afraid of lemons." He was particularly pleased with himself when he got featured on Dawanda's best Halloween treats for kids!

Our new stripey little boys......

Meet Rodney & Evan - two of our latest stripey blue little sock bears. They wanted to stop by and introduce themselves and let you know they've both been added to our online stores and are looking for nice little homes to go to!

"Rodney loves pancakes with maple syrup, playing black jack online and doing the daily crossword. Rodney dislikes enclosed spaces, getting caught in the rain and his favourite colour is orange."

"Evan likes Ben and Jerry ice cream, bananas, kayaking and playing the drums. Evan dislikes seafood, is afraid of cats and his favourite colour is green."

socks, socks, socks

On a recent trip to LA we were stunned to come across the most incredible shop selling hundreds of funky socks. It was like nothing we had ever seen before so we whipped out our camera for a photo!

With sooooo many different types of socks on offer, we couldn't help but think of all the wonderful little sock buddies that could be made. There were stripey socks, spotty socks, fluffy socks, socks with toes.......ah so many to choose from.

After a long time looking around we finally managed to pick out a few pairs. We're excited to get stitching and see what little creations can be made. Puck particularly liked these girly stripey socks and has put in a request for a new girlfriend!
