Red Heel Sock Monkey

I will be proud to pass this on to my children...

In our world of readily available pre-packaged toys, there is a wonderful feeling about creating something with your own hands, pouring hours of labor into a project with a wonderful result. These were my feelings after I finished creating my Original Rockford Red Heel Sock-Monkey. The art of red heel sock craft has been around for many decades, and the thought that I have created something which is unique and un-replicable is wonderful. It is charmingly reminiscent of past centuries when parents or children fashioned dolls or animals themselves, with old pieces or fabric, or even old socks. This will be an heirloom that I will be proud to pass down to my children and grandchildren, and will surely outlast any of the plastic brand label toys which line any store shelf.
