My latest sock toy is finally complete: three headed hydra, imagined by 7yo and made by me. Entirely made from old clothes and scraps. Most of his decorations came from a pair of gloves (the fingers are his legs). He has a pipe cleaner skeleton which makes him poseable.

Can't think of a single use for the giant plush skeleton but I WANT the giant plush skeleton.

The cloud people have a ship now which I made based on 7yo's design. The sail is definitely my favourite part.
I love that we are building up a collection of toys together which have all come from his imagination.

I made some little cloud people with 7yo based on his drawings. I'm quite happy with how the golem guy turned out!

Is your child also an agent of darkness? I've been making a stuffed toy family of skeletons and zombies for 3yo, who lives for the spooky life. 💀

Just for fun: I redrew 7yo's drawing of his sky castle.
Feel pretty pleased with it, although 7yo just came in to tell me the rock golem is supposed to be holding a helicopter, not a hammer. "Can't you tell?"

I'm constantly drawing things where I think "wow this is the dumbest thing I've ever drawn", and then I draw an even more dumb thing.

I got my "good boys" worms embroidered on one of my old sweatshirts and I am so excited to be wearing my own art!
Embroidery done locally Glasgow studio Mack & Rose, their commitment to recycling old clothes is incredible.

Sonic notebook for 7yo so he doesn't feel left out.
I destroyed two needles making this which I think means I get to buy an awl?! (Ah the joys of gearing up for a new hobby!!)

I was sick of all our half-used activity books that I can't bear to throw out because they are too expensive, so I have turned 5 of them into 1 new book for 3yo. I find these things too prescriptive so I've just cut out the pictures I liked best and removed most of the instructions.

7yo said to me, "If snails had legs, they could run as fast as humans."
If this thought has to live in my head, then I think it should be in everyone else's, too.

Making dried sweet potatoes and I love the way they look like a cross between steak, amethysts, and alien space food.
Also they taste good.

Making something for a kid who's been having a tough time recently.
I might have gotten carried away. The toy has its own toy.

6yo's school: "We are putting on a fun 70s themed show! Your kid can wear any kooky costume like hippy or punk!"
6yo, browsing Google Image search with me: "I want to look like this guy."

My latest sock pal Ronin Rabbit just rolled into town, ready to fight on the behalf of justice.
Toshiro Mifune's eyebrows were my main inspiration here.
