Okay, so my friend (craft expert and editor) Meg is going to be on the Martha Stewart Show tomorrow (Friday) and I think you should all watch. She’s going to be on there to promote the books Sock and Glove and Happy Gloves, which she edited, and demonstrate how easy it is to make adorable stuffed friends out of old (or new, if you’re into that sort of thing) socks and gloves. Can you imagine?! Making crafts with Martha Stewart! Actually, she’s been on the show before, but she was so awesome, that they’re bringing her back to show off her mad skills once again! So do me a favor and watch (or set your TiVos and DVRs to record) the Martha Stewart Show tomorrow, and then buy the books, because you know you’re gonna want to make them yourself once you see how awesome they are and easy to make! And besides, the holidays are coming up, and these books would make a great gift! You know the old saying: “Give someone a stuffed animal, and they’ll have a friend for a day. Teach someone how to make adorable stuffed animals out of old socks and gloves, and they’ll have friends for life.” Or something. So watch tomorrow!

Well that’s cool. Unfortunately I don’t have TiVo or DVR or any of that but hope she sells tons of books as a result of the show. I love the little mouse (?) on the end.

….I was convinced it was possessed by the devil.

Wow - I can’t believe this post only got 2 comments (now 3). Craig, your one degree of separation from Martha. How exciting!

I am impressed by the examples in the photos. They look way more intricate than I would expect for sock and glove animals. In middle school I made a sock puppet in art, it was rather primitive. It was a cyclops.

I also don’t have TiVo or a DVR so I will have to rely on hearsay regarding her appearance.
You know the other old saying: “No glove, no love.”
