Sock Dog and Glove Bunny

Adrien fueled my new obsession of recycled crafts the other day when he gave me three mis-matched socks to get rid of. I found these hard-to-follow instructions on the Home and Garden TV website and did a bit of tweaking (If anyone's interested, I'll draw out the steps more clearly). It's pretty much the same idea for all types of doges, you just change the leg length, ears and muzzle. Next time I'll do it on the sewing machine to get better seams. Here's the finished project:

I was so pleased with the quick results that I rushed on to Martha Stewart's Glove Bunny that I made from a pair of almost threadbare fleece gloves with worn out elastic, pink thread and shirt buttons. Here's the link for the instructions:

It was super fast and I'm desperatly searching for another old pair of gloves to try the glove dog.
Here's what my glove bunny looks like:
