Luc, in answer to your uestion (which I LOLed at because its so sweet of you to humour me in this) The body and legs are made from 1 sock, the toe of the 2nd sock makes the nose and then the rest of the 2nd sock is used to make the ears, arms and tail.

Ha! Beautiful, Iggy. That is the way to go. All of the pictures are awesome, but the Fantasic Five is the best.
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
Hi Iggy,
I really like your new sock monkey "Little Stan". Thanks so much for posting the photos for us all to see.

I am aiming for Christmas 2016, thats about 4 years from now. I am trying to belive that I will be well on the way to full recovery by then, maybe even fully healed.
At Christmas 2016 I will sell all my monkeys in a big stall at the local Christmas fare, over the next 4 years I should be able to make plenty, I also plan to post all the pictures from that sale on here,
So, lets see how much cash I will make

OMG. L'il Stan is adorable! I like some of the things you did differently on this little one. How tall is he form head to toe -- I can't quite get a sense.

"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."
