  • Have you got any odd socks or socks that can’t be mended anymore ? How about creating these little whimsical sock mushrooms ? Such a great project for young or not so young and beginner friendly too. I just can’t stop making them ! 🍄

    You and Ben had me tickled with your magical laughter. Today's Quote: "Be you it's easier than worrying about other styles." -Unknown. I needed the laugh, TY both. I love Jennifer and Flo's. sweaters and socks. The mushroom on the skirt is a lovely touch. They are so creative pair I love that you recycle so often. Mother Nature loves it too. Huge HUGS! Namaste from the Pineapple County Gang! 🐞🐾🍄🧵🪡

    Oh, how cute are those little sock mushrooms! 😃🍄 Cute idea from Sylvia!

    Hello my dear janet. I laughed until tears came from my eyes at Ben's reaction to your sock mushrooms. It is such a delight to be part of your family and enjoy your interactions. I love your mushrooms so much. I don't wear socks like that anymore as I have been wearing compression socks. And I got rid of all my others but I think they would be really cute made out of scraps of upholstery material . Such a cute idea to make a string of them for a banner. I love the little ones to they will be so adorable in a journal. Love and blessings to you all from Karina Molly and Judy

I wondered about cutting out circles, perhaps creating sock suffolk puffs🤔? Sock buttons🤔? Sock beads🤔 ? A flat sock cat for your kitty cat of kindness journal😻🤔? I love your new little cupboard , we have one in the kitchen, the little drawer in yours is so sweet. Your Ben did make me laugh! Bless him!

I have one of those old darning balls ( not sure the official name for them), but egg shaped and made of wood. I wonder how they would work as pin cushions or a place to put safety pins. Thank you for sharing this fun idea.
