Catching some rays......

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, so Wally decided to pop outside to catch a few rays. He wanted to brown up a little and get a nice tan for the rest of the summer! Of course he smothered himself in sun cream first and made sure to wear his sunglasses!

a day at the beach!

A few of our little buddies decided to make the most of a gloriously sunny day top pop down to the local beach. Lincoln was very excited, this was his first day trip!

Jefferson was amazed by the colour of the sea - he'd never seen it before. He couldn't wait to check out all the rock pools...... .....but Lincoln beat him too it. He was very careful not to fall in tho - sock buddies don't like to get wet. The water was so inviting that Regan wanted to have a little paddle in the sea - but after he stuck one toe in he decided it was a bit of the chilly!Lincoln was super excited to check out all the pebbles on the beach. He'd been looking forward to trying a bit of pebble balancing all day........ After a little while finding his favourite pebbles, he managed to build a nice little pebble monument! He was very impressed with his effort and had lots of fun.
Our buddies had a great day out at the beach and can't wait to take some more of their friends to check out some other local beaches later this summer.

Little Update

We've been busy working away at some new buddies. Check out this little pile - just waiting for their finishing touches - lips, eyes and bellies!

Here's one little fella we finished earlier. Meet Regan. 'Regan likes chocolate brownies, is addicted to cereal and dislikes sushi. Regan loves to build sandcastles, dislikes the word "moist" and has a phobia of octopus!'

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had a great Easter and managed to stuff their faces with lots of chocolate. Our sock buddies had a great weekend and Walter even made a little furry friend during the Easter Egg hunt! They are now inseparable!

Easter Egg Hunt 2011!

Charlie is very excited to have been chosen as the organiser of this year's Sock Buddy Easter Egg Hunt! He's so keen to get started that he's already been out and about looking for the best hiding places for his choccie eggs.

He's been checking out lots of nooks and crannies in the garden and he thinks he's found some great little spots. He's hoping to make this year's hunt the toughest ever!

We're seeing spots!

Here at eckel and noo we've gone all spotty! Check out Eli and Carter, two of our newest buddies. Meet Eli. "Eli is a shy little monster who likes peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, playing in the mud, collecting paper clips and hanging out with his best friends - his stuffed toy monkey Miguel. Eli is afraid of germs and his favourite word is blubber."

Introducing Carter. "Carter likes strawberry flavoured jelly, bowling and karaoke. He wants to learn to play the drums and his favourite word is smurf."

Wally on his visit to Ikea.....

Wally went on his first road trip yesterday when he decided to tag along to a trip to Ikea. It turns out he is a very good traveller and didn't mind the long journey....he particularly enjoyed his mid-morning non-fat decaf hazelnut latte!

We finally arrived and Wally couldn't wait to stretch his legs and see what Ikea was all about.

After a looong time walking around, Wally decided it was time to put his feet up for a rest.

With Wally's almost obssesive love of organisation and order, Ikea's warehouse was like heaven! He even made a few friends along the way.
