I declare today International Wee Tiny Sock Day! All around the world, wee tiny socks are entering the postal system. Including the one that I finally found the time to make at 4am this morning:
RubySapphire’s Luster in Mary Esther.
I stamped it with the last of the Christmas stamps (I’d been saving it especially for this occasion) and then had to borrow Great Gran’s mailbox to send it to its new home. Our letter carrier* showed up at 10 o’clock this morning with a giant box** and told me that the routes were changed and now our mail comes before lunch. After five years of afternoon walks to the mail box, this comes as quite a shock.
*Our letter carrier (who is new to me as of today) had this route when Gran-mother lived here. She used to invite him in for a Coke Float whenever she saw him. Being a man with a Postal Responsibilities, he never got to take her up on it.
**More on this later, it is a pretty good story that involves the aforementioned Judi. I’ve got to find a minute to write her a nice, long email first. A minute where I can use both hands to type – Ellie is currently occupying one arm. I’ve only answered about half my email this past week. Anything that requires a longish, more personal reply is on hold until napping resumes.
Your sock is adorable, Emily, as are those itty bitty legs showing in the picture. 😉
Such a cute wee tiny sock! I sent mine off toady. Can’t wait to see the one being sent to me!
I’m REALLY glad the box made it!! YAY! I know that Miss Ellie was anxiously awaiting its contents. 🙂
love the wee tiny sock displayed near the wee tiny feet.
may she sleep peacefully and long.
Very cute sock! Mine went off yesterday – it’s got a fair journey ahead of it though.
Cool! Love the tiny sock. I’d love to hear the mailman story…sounds charming:)

I think holding babies trumps writing EM any day of the week!!! Your Wee Tiny Sock turned out perfectly….4:00 A.M.???? Bless your heart!!!

ThankGod for carseats eh?
Love your Wee Tiny Sock with Wee Tiny Ellie – Can you believe I FORGOT to take pictures of my Wee Tiny Sock! I hope my pal will do it for me!
I LOVE your pictures, especially the adorable wee tiny feet. This was a great swap. Thanks so much for organizing it.
Cute sock and cute little feet too. 🙂
Great swap. So no pressure. I received mine today! Thanks for hosting.
I had a wonderful time with this swap. Thank you so much for hosting it!
Mine looks a little wonky because I made a mistake in gathering up the stitches! I whip stitched the toes and sent it off. I will practice again through the year and count them as WIP’s!
Thanks Emily for a simple and fun swap. I got my Wee Tiny Sock today and it is so cute. Getting personal mail, when it isn’t an invitation, is such a nice thing. You’re a genius!
Thanks for putting on the wee tiny sock swap. I too received my tiny sock today which instantly put a smile on my face. Thanks so much
So does Judi still live in Wala Wala?? Because although I only knew her briefly…I loved saying Wala Wala often before she moved!
Someone in planning the reunion asked about her the other day in fact!
Heading to reunion tomorrow morning, you’ll be missed! You and Judi should both join the yahoo group so you can post pics and see pics of others!!
