"I am a mommy; It isn't what I do, it is who I am." ~~ anonymous

************************
I love that quote. I love being a "mommy" and now my baby will soon be a mommy.
She sent me an email not too long ago stating that Easton (the soon to be grandson of mine) would just love one of "these" and she had attached a craft blog page.
The very crafty woman had made a sock monkey hat. Crocheted it, no doubt!
I looked at it, and while trying to figure out if I could make it into a smaller version, she sent another email... "This one might be better."
YES! it was a toddler sized one.
Only one problem. She was not having a toddler, she was having a newborn!
:)

Mommy to the rescue. I deciphered the shape I needed, printed numerous pictures of sock monkeys and purchased what I thought would be a good match for the color of an original sock monkey.
Yes, knitted would have looked better, except I only pretend to knit, but I DO crochet!

During a couple of our stays at the Orthopedic doctor, waiting for Kyle to be seen by the specialist for his finger (see previous posts to clarify-lol) I had started this precious monkey I wanted to create.

*ahem*
Once finished, I decided two things.
1.) Sock Monkeys are Scary looking creatures!
2.) I do not want to make another one!

I love homemade stuff where you can tell it is homemade, sorta, kinda like his ears are not the same size, one eye is buggier than the other one! lol

So...my grandson, Easton will have his sock monkey hat. :) Not because she asked, but because it was my job to produce that which my child wanted.
