Football

I've heard so much about this Football thing, I thought I'd check it out. Saw this football laying in the street and was curious about it. Being a Sock Monkey of sound mind and body, have heard alot about this human sport. I do know this is mainly a winter sport. That's fine cause tonight's temps are suppose to reach freezing in Middle Tenn. Here I am staring the old pig skin in the face and not knowing what to do with it! I've never played any sport in my sock life. This being the Charlie Brown's 60th anniversary as Lucy holds the football for old Charlie Brown to kick and yanks it away when Charlie runs up to kick the ball. He always lands on his back!


Keeping this in mind when my Dad ask me if he should hold the ball so I can kick it. I politely refused and smiled for the camera! Always the celebrity even with a football dilemma!




I tried tackling it,but that didn't go so well. I just rolled over and tumbled in the grass. Ended up laying on my back much like Charlie Brown. It was worth a try and not to worry,I left the football so whomever it belongs to can still claim it.Bubba

Monday news

I know all my Peeps were waiting on the next Pumpkin pose of old Bubba. Went down to the local Walmart and posed for you guys. I just dearly love fall time and all it has to offer. The colors are so warm and inviting. No pumpkin buying for me this year! They always end up sitting around and turning to mush LOL! And as you saw in earlier blogs, We always have them for the snow that comes along in February. We'll pass on it this time. I'll just continue using the store displays. I won't ya'll to know...No one bats an eye when I come out of the back pack for photo shoots!


One of my friends on Facebook crocheted this Sock Monkey and entered it in the stuffed animal catagory at her state fair. She one a ribbon! That's exciting new for Sock Monkeys everywhere! Love to see the success of Sock Monkey artist out and about. I hope your work days are filled with blessings and I think I'll go and run a bubble bath. Bye for now!Bubba

Scooby Doo where are you

Scooby Doo! Where are you? This is Mike's dog Scooby Doo. He has been Mike's best friend for almost 12 years. He is Chihuahua/German Sheppard mix. I know it was a surprise to me too! But anyway...Great even tempered dog and great to be with! He is the love of Mike's life! Well....besides me that is. Mike keeps me as a reminder of how hard it was for Jesus to carry him.



It is cold here this morning with a 42 degree temp. There is frost on our car windshield! The first frost of the season. Out came our little plug in heater! The update on the chair redo! The upolstery is now off, after hours of pulling staples. The paint job has started. We have to wait for it to warm up today continue. Don't want the paint to remain sticky as it will never dry in the cold temps. The sun has come up today after a cloudy day yesterday. So this afternoon my Dad will be painting some more. It's looking great this far! You guys have a great blessed week!Bubba

Saturday evenin

Great Saturday evenin! Very nice and cool this evenin outside on the porch. Have been enjoyin this great and beautiful day! My Dad has started takin the upolstery off this great chair one of the hotels was throwing out. There was a stack of these chairs they put out by the side of the road for folks to take if they wanted to. I guess they were remodeling and getting new furniture. It's a great chair! I did take a before photo and will certainly will take an after photo when the work is done. The upolstery on the back of the chair is already off and now working on the seat. Boy! They stapled the heck out of this fabric! But it's coming along. Mike and I both think it will be a great piece of work when it's completed. Have a great evening!Bubba

The Saturday Flamingo

Hello Possum's! Gathered up the Flamingo's out of the yard and puttin them away for the rest of the year. Their season has come and gone. It gets so cold here I was worried it might make the plastic crack. I have recently joined facebook so that has been really strange tryin to figure that out. It seems to much like My Space. It's all good I suppose. Don't have much time to be on Facebook, I'm uually out on photo shoots and makin appearances here and there. Am up mighty early this mornin after going to bed at 8:30 P.m. last night. That always makes me get up early! The sewing machine hasn't been used in ages and Mike's still recoverin from brain surgery. Have a great Saturday!

Coffe with Fletcher

Top of the mornin to ya Possum's! Welocome to "Good mornin Sock Monkey" here in Bubba's Sock Drawer! The mornin is rather cool out and about this mornin! I'm here with my good friend Fletcher who has stopped in to have coffee with us this mornin. Let me first say I'm so glad you stopped in to join us Fletcher!

Fletcher: Thanks for havin me in for coffee this mornin Bubba! It's always a pleasure comin to visit Bubba's Sock Drawer! Nice roomy and spacious here amongst all the socks!

Bubba: Fletcher tell all the folks at home how you came about getting those rainbow hands of yours? I certainly know that you and I are the only two Sock Monkeys that I've seen with fingers!

Fletcher: Well it all started when you first got your fingers. Your Dad was sitting around one day and saw that this pair of toe socks he had was worn out and ready for the garbage can. Thus became my new fingers! It was and excitin day! He lovinly wheeled me into Sock Monkey surgery in his studio/sewin room and went to work. The rest is Sock Monkey history! (chuckle out loud)


Bubba: That's an interestin story Fletcher. And one for the Sock Monkey books! Socks are an amazin tool to work with and have been entertainin folks for decades! Had it not been for these pioneernin folks,We the Sock Monkeys would never have been born into the world at large!

Fletcher: Quite right Bubba! Our readers out there are wonderin why we don't have coffee mugs for our coffee.

Bubba: They didn't know we were just sippin it right out of the spout of our tarnished Silver plated coffee pot. I think the tarnish gives it a certain something,don't-cha agree?

Fletcher: The antique look is always in! It goes quite nicely with this eye openin back drop! Socks alive,Bubba, I almost need my sunglasses to look at the bright colors this early in the mornin! But a great look I enjoy.

Bubba: It makes a Sock sit up and take notice. The art department here in Bubba's Sock Drawer is a happenin place ta be, Fletcher. The ideas are always flowin! How they come up with the things they do is simply sittin around the camp fire brain stormin! Dancin in the moonlight Sock Monkey good! Chocolate at sunset good! Sock Monkey festival good!

Fletcher: OK! OK! Bubba let's not get all streched out of shape over it! Here,have another sip of coffee Bubba.

Bubba: I say old chap! That does go down smooth! Cha,cha,cha! Say Fletcher..You and I have something in common. Tell our readers about that.

Fletcher: Your Dad,my owner and Human....Found us both at a flea market! You were hangin from the ceilin and I was dug up out of a box of stuff. Discarded Sock Monkeys that have been brought back to life and in a good lovin home! The possibilities are endless when Socks enter the picture!

Bubba: My Dad does have a passion for a good Sock Story!! Give him a good cup of joe and he's off and runnin!

Fletcher: Sorry for the delay,Bubba, but I'm off to the movie set. Thanks so much for the coffe talk this mornin!

Bubba: Stop on in anytime and we'll do this again! Has been fun havin you here!

Flethcer: Goodbye for now!

Bubba: And that's all the time we have for this Friday mornin! Peace out Socks!

The Thursday afternoon yahoositz

Good afternoon Possum's of the Sock Monkey house today! And look at the backdrop of choice! Love the old fashion feel it has to it! Mike thinks it will end up as a recover for a chair he picked up on the side of the road and dearly loves. A little paint and a quick recover with this fabric, it will turn out to be a work of art! And ya'll know I'll be johnny on the spot with a photo and all should that take place. On with the news of the rest of the day!



On the sadder side of things....Tony Curtis has passed away at the age of 85. It saddens my Sock Monkey heart cause I have watch his movies for many,many,many years! Now don't go makin me go and spill my age! Although you guys know how old I am if ya'll been payin attention to old Bubba's blogs all along. That in itself could be a whole nother blog in itself! Don't get me started on my makins, whereabouts and history!! I was almost at the very beginnin of the very existance of Sock Monkeys! Oops! Done let the cat out of the bag! Oh well! Its a beautiful day and the sun is shinin! I don't hear any birds out so I'm asummin they have already started their flights south.
