Hooray for lovely friends
As I explained not long ago, I had to stop making the sock creatures because I had completely run out of stuffing. Look what arrived in the post yesterday afternoon...
I've been struggling to create anything the past couple of days. I am so so tired. I feel as though I have bulldog clips on my eyes. I've been wanting to make something special for my mum but trying to squeeze creativity from this exhausted brain is like trying to get blood from a stone right now. As I don't really have anything crafty to show you, I will share with you the books I read this month...

I cut up magazines for fun
Mr Pippa and I love pretty house magazines and often dream of how we will decorate our house. Previously, we kept cut-up bits of magazine in a folder but that was just no fun. So I made an ideas book. We call it our 'dream house book' and we like to flick through it whilst drinking tea and dreaming. We like to dream.

the last of the sock creatures
No, this is not the last sock creature I will ever make; I have plenty more socks waiting to come alive. But alas, I have now completely run out of stuffing and I don't know when I'll be able to get more. Woe is me! I am hoping to get all of the creatures onto Etsy eventually, but I'm in for a busy few weeks so it will probably be nearer the end of August. I can't believe I'm actually going to have an Etsy shop! I have absolutely NO IDEA what to call it though. I thought of Pippa's Long Stockings (a play on Pippi Longstocking, of course) but I'm not sure. Any ideas? I'm absolutely rubbish when it comes to thinking of names (hence my very dull, but self explanatory blog title!). Argh! Too much pressure! What are your thoughts?
+edit+ I just realised that I never told you how I made these little creatures. I used a pattern similar to the one available on Biscuit Monster (a new fave blog of mine). Although, mine aren't nearly as professional as hers. She actually knows what she's doing!

More sock creatures
I can't believe it's been a week and a half since I last blogged; I haven't even been away anywhere exciting. We've been having a bit of a spring clean and general sort-out so I haven't been able to be as creative as usual. Also, I've run out of stuffing so I'm having a forced break from making sock creatures. Which is a shame. But before I ran out, I was able to make a few friends for the original sock creature.
