checking in

“Greatness is not defined by what a person receives, but by what that person gives.”  John Maxwell

I am amazed by how many people are willing to give.  Shortly after I posted about project number four, the comments started to pour in to my email account.  I called Jade and told her we were starting to get a response and I already got the first emails of people volunteering for sock monkeys.  She laughed at me.  Funny girl.  But I love the fact that every time I check my email, someone else is saying; yes, I want to make something for someone I don’t even know.  Restores your faith in mankind.  I wish I could meet each one of you personally and that I had the time to visit each of your blogs.  I already can tell that I would like you.  From the children who will benefit from your kindness, thank you.

** Some housekeeping **

Speaking of emails, there are a few that I’m getting returned to me.  So, if you said you wanted to help with the Little Heroes project and I haven’t sent you an email, could you please leave another comment and I will try again!?  Thanks.

And please don’t forget to post your sock monkey photos on flickr.  We all want to see a sneak peak at what you are making.  *** Also, remember to check in on Craft Hope Nest - this is a valuable tool for you all.  I posted an offer from sockmonkey.net for a special discount… just for our Craft Hope group!  Others have posted links to online tutorials for sock monkeys, etc.  If you know of a good buy or have a tip or tutorial to share, it could benefit someone else.

Happy sewing friends :)

    I didn’t get a reply email but I would love to participate. Are there any guidelines on what type of sock (i.e. traditional sock monkey look only?) or sizing?

    I will make at least one sock monkey but I can’t promise it will be a traditional one as I hate them. It will be adorable and loved, i can promise that. Please email me the address to send it to. Thanks

    heard of this project through reading someone else’s blog…thank you for all that you do…

    I’d love to donate and get involved. I sew baby gear for my business, although a novice in the sock monkey department…I can surely manage something loveable!

    Please contact me with the details!

    I mentioned that I am on board, but I also am one who may not be doing a traditional color for my sock monkey. I have challenged others in my Etsy team to also make some, so we will need an address to which to send them. Glad to be involved!

    Would love to participate. Please send me the address details!
