03/12/11 Christmas Shopping Done...Almost...

So no blog yesterday :o hope you all managed without it! It was a very busy day and a tired evening so had no time to fit one in. We went out and did all the Christmas shopping today, was so so busy but at least it all got done! We left the Sock Dogs alone to fend for themselves. The house was still standing when we got home and they appeared to have fun from the photos we found. Here is Brenda whipping up a storm in the kitchen...




Then it looks like after lunch they played a little game of hide and seek, here's a photo of Pinky we found, she is trying to look inconspicuous next to Paddington Bear and Eeyore...




Looks like all the fun and games that were had whilst we were out eventually got the better of one sock doggy though because when we got home we found Perky, still in her scarf (must have been playing outside) looking a little like this...




I felt a little like doing this myself too after being all shopped out, there's only so much I can take in one day! Wrapped loads of presents and wrote loads of cards when I got home, nearly got everything ready for Christmas with only a few bits left to do and then can relax and enjoy the build up making more time for bringing more Sock Dogs into the world, hopefully the next blog will feature some pictures of new creations that will be going in the window at our Folksy store, go over and have a little look at http://www.folksy.com/shops/mollyandizzie also don't forget to visit our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/thesockdogcompany and one final plug dont forget our twitter, just look out for @Sock_dogs


One more little photo before I go, its been a hard day for Louis too, here he is just chilling out..




Time to go now, got a little bit of time left to finish another Sock Dog before relaxing for the rest of the evening, I deserve it after a busy day :) hope to see you all again on the next blog!


Much Love

01/12/11 Goodbye Santa's Little Helper...

Today marks the turn of December and officially the start of Christmas, wahoo!! My partner spent most of the day fighting with the Christmas tree, but it was up and ready for decoration by the time i got home from work :) here it is...


After a bit of decoration and listening to Christmas songs we managed to transform it from boring green looking tree to a colorful Christmas looking tree.


Today also marked Santa's Little Helper's last day with us, he will be sent off tomorrow to join his new owner Laurel we all hope he enjoys himself in his new home and that he stays in touch with his friends left here! Here he is in his box ready to go saying his last goodbyes.


And finally we have 2 new additions to the shop on our Folksy store. Following on with the popular Christmas them Santa's Little Helpers younger brother Santa's little elf and Little Angel. You can check them out here http://www.folksy.com/shops/mollyandizzie here's a picture of Little Angel.



Isn't he cute? Anyway many more Sock Dogs to come in the future, busy weekend ahead making! Oh wait, one more photo, Digby climbed to the top of the tree!


Lots of photos in this one, hope you are enjoying the blog! 
Much Love
