Sock Monkeys Bring Smiles

I started with sock monkeys about 15 years ago and shortly thereafter came up with the Socktopus- half monkey, half octopus. I was diagnosed with a rare and serious kidney disease when I was 15, and because of my health, having a "regular" job was not an option. I had always loved making things, so I got to work sewing.

I began selling my creations on buyolympia.com while attending the Evergreen State College.
I've been a part of Etsy since 2007, and since expanded my line to include plush creatures, buntings, wiener dogs, quilts and craft kits.

I love being a part of the Etsy community, and I love knowing that my handmade items are delighting children from 0 to 100.
