If your dryer is like mine it likes to eat socks.  The only sacrifice it accepts however is one sock from each pair and so I inevitably end up with a bunch of random socks from who-knows-when all rolled up at the bottom of my dresser.  If you’re having sentimental pangs for these items of leftover clothing, I have found the thing for you!  There is a gentleman named John Murphy who will take your socks (and other kinds of fabric) and reuse them to create your very own Stupid Creature.  The little custom sock monsters on his page are incredibly cute, and although they are expensive ($45 I think), it is a fun way to preserve something that might be oddly dear to your heart.  Here is the link for his Ordering FAQ with extremely detailed answers to any questions that you might have.

If you’re feeling a cramp on your wallet that makes you feel disinclined to spend the dough, don’t worry!  John Murphy has also written several  books on his craft so you can enjoy making your own sock monsters in the privacy of your own home and budget.

Enjoy!
