Heart sock puppets craft for kidsWhat, on earth, happens to socks when they go into the laundry?  It’s like this big mystery no one on the planet can figure out.  I definitely can’t.  I swear, we have a bin of over thirty socks that have lost their match.  How is this possible?  They go in there.  I know that.  But they don’t come out.  It’s like some crazy sock cult.  Anyway, in an effort to bring some solace to this crazy mismatched sock situation, I introduce Little Lovies, sock puppets for your little ones.  Aren’t they sweet?  I made one for Gigi and one for D and may start including them as gifts with a little tag that says their name, likes and dislikes.  That kind of thing.
