Sockeye the Halloween Sailor Monster!

Here's a sock monster just in time for Halloween! I made him a little hat too. I think it makes him look like a sailor...allong with his Popeye-esque huge fists/forearms.
"I'm Sockeye the sailor monster...
I'm Sockeye the sailor monster...
I'm strong as a barn, 'cuz I eats me yarn...
I'm Sockeye the sailor monster!"

Coming soon in 2008...the Craft-A-Day project!


I had a thought as I was surfing the various craft blogs I find online as a result of checking out the Craft: blog...
Instead of always looking at everyone else’s crafts and thinking that I should do my own, I should take a cue from the Skull-A-Day blog, and create a blog to dedicate myself to actually making at least one craft a day…whether it be a monster (like those I've made in the picture shown), a painting, a drawing, or some other crafty thing…even if it’s just a knitted/crochet dishcloth or a flower barrette. I think I will even make a scrapbook page or home improvement projects count...just some sort of artistic creativity or productivity.
My goal is to consistently make at least one craft and post a picture on this blog every day for a year.
This blog will "officially" start on January 1st 2008 as a New Year’s Resolution. (Although I may give a few "bonus" posts before then).
