Newly made buds

Just thought we'd introduce you to a few of our new buddies made this week. They can all be found in our online stores.....check them out!

"Harry is a laid back, easy going free spirit! He likes Starbucks coffee, watching sports on TV and coming up with ingenious solutions to complicated problems! Harry has excellent map reading skills and his favourite word is 'muppet'."


"Zack is a highly competitive, sarcastic and quirky little bear. He likes online poker, cheeseburgers and is a fan of classic rock music and heavy metal! Zack believes he can rap, but his abilities are questionable! Zack is afraid of ghosts and his favourite word is 'awesome'."

"Joshua has an obsessive personality and is a little shy. He is extremely perceptive, loves vegetables and has an impressive collection of socks. Joshua likes superhero movies and has an imaginary friend called Ernie."

oooooh new socks!

We finally managed to squeeze in a quick shopping trip to buy some much needed new socks. We just looooove picking out the funky ones - there are sooooo many different colours and patterns, it's easy to get carried away! Hopefully this new haul should keep us busy for the next few weeks....time to get stitching.
Zachary is looking forward to meeting some of his new friends. He can't quite believe this simple pile of socks (and a lot of hard work) will soon be little buddies themselves!

Of course, the little troublemaker that he is, he got a bit too excited and decided to build a sock fort which was a little structually unsound!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! This is only the buddies second Easter so they were very excited and super impressed with their Easter Egg haul this year!

Dexter was very pleased with his egg and won't let it out of his sight. He's never been big on sharing! He rather likes the shiny wrapping foil and hopes to use it to make a superhero cape!

The buddies decided to throw an impromptu Easter party and have over some of their friends. As usual, Wade was very popular with the chicks!
Whilst Zachary had to be told repeatedly to STOP licking the chicken!

Local Craft Shops

We're very excited that our little sock buddies have been accepted into a number of local Devon craft shops. It was a bit of a mad rush to get them all together, have their photos taken and their little bio's created in time for the Easter Weekend but pheeeeew, we managed it....just!

So now our little guys are out there and looking for some nice people to come and take them home. We will be posting a list of stockists shortly so that any of you locals can check them out!

another successful adoption


Last week Jasper went off to his new home in Germany. We’re glad to hear he’s been warmly welcomed and has fitted in well with his new family.

“Yesterday jasper arrived in his new home. I am very happy and I think jasper is too! He likes to play with the children and to sit on the sofa. Today, when the children go to sleep, we will watch a zombie-movie together!”
Anette, Germany.

'Finn likes bubblegum, lasagne, magic and playing on his Wii. He wants to learn to play the drums and his favourite word is “Frisbee”. Finn dislikes carrots and is afraid of the number 9!'
