How To Sew Sock Monkey
How To Sew Sock Monkey
Sewing Pattern: Download pattern here. It contains the eyes, ears and pattern for drawing the sock.
Make: 1 (adult size)
1. Sock (crew length), 1 pair (I used striped sock so that it is easy to get the alignment right.)
2. White felt
3. Button eye 7/16″ [11.5mm], black, 2 (for toddler monkey, use 3/8″ button)
4. Embroidery Floss, yellow
5. Poly-fill stuffing material
6. Batting, or thick aquarium filter pad (you can get it from pet shop)
7. Letter size paper, 1
1. Sewing machine
2. Sewing needle (prefer long) and pins
3. Scissors
4. Erasable fabric marker
5. Iron
6. Printer
Seam Allowance: approx. 1/8 – 1/4″
Note: for different sizes of sock monkeys, use different sizes of socks.
Since the sock is stretched after stuffed, thick sock yields better quality than thin sock.
Update May 2015:
In conjunction with the grand opening of Craft Passion Shop, we are giving 20% off the total sales. Great chance to get some beautiful socks to make the sock animal. Apply coupon code at check out.
Prepare all the materials needed as described above.
Cut the eye from white felt by following the download pattern above. Mark the button eye position.
If your socks have folded cuff, remove the stitches carefully and don't accidentally cut the sock. Flatten the fold to have a longer length.
Turn the sock to wrong side, align sock as per photo below. Press with warm iron.
Draw pattern on the sock with erasable fabric marker. Since not all socks are the same, I can't make a standard pattern for you to trace.
If you haven't had the pattern, download it here and print it out.
1. Align the stripes on both layers, pin.
2. Sew it with sewing machine, best if you have walking foot so both layers walk together. You can use hand sewn too.
3. Cut as per pattern.
4. Cut all pieces out.
There will be an opening created between the legs. Use this opening to turn the sock right side out.
1. Insert the thumb into the leg till the feet end. "Pinch" the feet end with your thumb and index finger.
2. Push the index finger into the sock while thumb withdrawing from the sock to turn the sock right side out.
3. When the feet surface to the opening, pull the whole leg right side out.
4. Repeat the same to the other leg.
Finally, turn the body out. Smooth out all the seam line.
Turn the rest of the body parts, except the tail.
Stuff the legs with poly-fill stuffing material.
Fill the body round and to the firmness you like.
1. Sew slip / ladder stitch on the opening about 1/8″ from the raw edge. Let the thread loose and don't pull it yet.
2. After finish slip stitch the opening, pull the thread to close the opening.
3. With the needle still on the sock, wrap 2 to 3 rounds of thread on it, pull the needle through while pressing the wrapping thread with your finger.
4. Insert the needle some where near by and come out from the other side. Pull the thread and cut it close to the sock. The thread will be hidden in the sock neatly. Always do this when you sew.
Stuff the arm with poly stuffing material until about 1/2″ from the opening.
Roll the monkey arm with you hands to make the stuffing even and nice. You can do this now and/or after sewing up the opening.
1. Stuffed monkey arms waiting to be sewn.
2. Run stitches about 1/4″ from the raw edge.
3. Pull the thread to gather a bit, push the raw edge into the arm.
4. Tighten up the opening by pulling the thread fully, make a few stitch across, knot and cut thread.
Both arms waiting to be assembled to the sock monkey.
1. Stuff the ear with small amount of poly-fill. Fold the raw edges in and slip stitch.
2. Pull the thread to close the opening. Knot.
3. Fold the ear vertically and slip stitch the opening seam line.
4. The finished ear looks like this.
Cut a piece of batting or thick aquarium filter pad, 3 times the width of the tail and the length when it is stretched or partially stretched.
Fold the batting three times and sew the end to the seam line of the tail end (wrong side).
Whip stitch the folded batting in place until the other end.
Sew the batting again to tail seam allowance about 1/4″ below the raw edge.
(Note: I used this method since stuffing with poly-fill to a long narrow tail is difficult and uneven.)
1. The batting and the tail before turning.
2. Insert finger into the sock and pull the tail right side out, portion by portion. Only turn the sock not the batting.
3. Repeat (2) until you reach to the end. Continue with the turning by inserting the batting into the tail until it fully gets into it.
4. Adjust the batting so that it looks neat. Fold the raw edge in and stitch it up just like the arms method.
Body, arms, ears, tail, mouth, felt eye and button eyes are all set to be assembled into a sock monkey.
Divide the body into half, with top half being the face of the monkey where eyes and mouth are sewed to.
Position the felt eye with the center point align to the middle of the face portion. Pin it and sew with blanket stitch.
You may want to decorate the felt eye with a line of running stitch with 6 strands of embroidery floss before sewing it on the face.
Sew the button eyes to the marked positions of the felt.
To make the eyes attach to the face closely, insert your needle as deep as possible into the face, turn and come out to another point of the same eye. Pull thread tightly so that the eye attach closely to the face.
1. Mark the mouth on the face with erasable fabric marker. The shape is rounded corner rectangular, with bottom align to the face's border and top covers a little on the felt eye.
2. Fold and baste the raw edge of the mouth, then pin it in place. Slip stitch around until you are about 1″ away from the starting point.
3. Stuff the mouth fully. Continue to slip stitch to the starting point to complete the mouth.
4. Embroidery branch stitches across the middle of the mouth. Tips: look out for the toe seam line of the sock, this is where the middle is.
1. Sew ears on the side of the face with slip stitch around (front and back of the ear).
2. The front of the ear is aligned to the side line of the monkey.
3. Position of tail.
4. Sew it with slip stitch around too.
Sew the arm on the marked position with slip stitch around. Knot the thread and insert the needle to the other side of the arm position. Pull the thread so that arm "squeezes" into the body, knot to secure the shape.
Sew another arm with slip stitch.
If you think that the arms are not "sunken" enough, pass the needle to the other side, pull the thread to get the result you want, knot the thread securely.
Provided you stuff you monkey very dense, sometime, you may find the monkey head is a little tall and pointy, this is normal due the shape of the adult sock. I found that kid's and toddler's sock do't have this problem.
If you are happy with it, then it is OK. But, if you want to make the monkey head round like the one I made, the following step will be helpful.
1. The original pointy head due the toe compartment of the sock.
2. Pinch the top of the head to judge how much you want to sew to make it rounder. Mark the space with erasable marker. Gradually decrease the width from center towards the front and the back.
3. Join both lines with slip stitch.
4. Here is it, a rounder head for the monkey.
[Update: August 15, 2014] I have just published an amigurumi pattern to crochet the twin brother of sock monkey, crochet amigurumi monkey, aren't they look identical?

Hello! I love your monkeys and your beautiful website! I'm looking to make a skinny one that's only about 12″-14″ for my new baby… what size of sock should I buy? Thanks!263
I just have a question. Am having trouble getting arms right. I triced to take hem out of top of sock but can't do it without putting hole. Also same problem at bottom of feet. Thinking of trying with mans sock as it would be bigger264
I love this tutorial!!! What kind of socks do you use? I got some cheap ones from Walmart that are pretty thin, will they still look okay, or should I use some wool ones?265
HI Joanne,
Your tutorial is awesome and your monkeys are darling.
I make sock monkeys for kids in the hospital, and encourage others to do it too. I put a link to your site on my blog so that interested Monkeymakers will know how to make monkeys.
Happy MonkeyMaking…..marcia266
thank you for the instruction. I just made my first sock monkey last night and my neice loves it. though I cant let her play with it coz she keeps on eating the tail.ahaha. will this be good as a business? I really don't have any idea.267
Hi, I have been trying to find the perfect monkey plush and stumbled on your creations on pinterest. I think they are awesome, only problem is that, i don't do crafts and know that I shouldn't as I would only ruin all the socks in the world! lol so my question is, do you sell your plush toys and is it possible to personalize them a bit? only in terms of colors, if any. they all look awesome.
It means a lot to me to find the perfect monkey. I hope you can help me out on this one:)
Hello, I love this tutorial but I am having trouble trying to make my own LOL! I'm not very crafty and I was wondering if you sell these sock monkeys? If so I would love to purchase one!269
Last holiday we spent at Ghana. We made the monkey out of socks – which we all brought – with about 30 schoolchildren. Quite an experience for them, because they have nothing no siccors or anything and for us because it was very warm and dark in their African classroom. An experience that we and our daughters will never forget270
Oh…….I love this pattern!!!!!! I am going to make these as soon as I get the supplies. Thanks!!!!!271
HI Joanne,
Its Marcia again. The local newspaper here is doing an article on Sockmonkeys 4 kids. It comes out on Friday. Is there any chance that you could post my blog on your blog, or attach it somehow? It's just for people who want to make sockmonkeys for charity…..my blog tells all about the things I have been doing. Its growing. Monkeys bring so much joy that I'm just anxious to spread the word…..your blog is so awesome…I wondered if you wouldn't mind?
The blog is sockmonkeys4kids.com. There are no strings attached at all. I just do it for the pure joy of making monkeys for kids in the hospital and other hazardous places. Hope to hear from you soon…..marcia272

You can find the original, red-heeled socks at http://www.foxsox.com. This company has sold all kinds of sock monkey products for over 20 years. Click on "shop online" at top of page. On the page you come to, products are listed in red. Click on the 3rd choice that says "red heel products." This page shows all you need to do to get started making sock monkeys. You can buy the socks (they recommend size large, unless you have a reason for making a smaller monkey). You need one PAIR of socks for a monkey–but you need to buy two pair of socks tied together (you can make two monkeys!). The directions are attached to the socks, but online directions may be clearer. You can also buy a kit, with supplies included. You can buy a monkey that's already made. You can buy a book that tells you how to make several other animals/people.
Have fun.
And great tutorial, Joanne!278

Love your pattern, except for one thing…. Never put buttons on stuffed animals they are a chocking hazard.
For the older children, put on safety eyes… , because even little children/tots/toddlers can come in contact with them..
For monkeys for the smaller children… I use felt, sewn down, and/or embroidery the eyes on.
I would hate to be the person who is the maker of a monkey/stuffed animal that had buttons and a child would choke on it and die….280
I do not have a sewing machine. What type of thread do you recommend I use?281
have you ever tried a "Mr Potato Head" sock monkey? I would like to make one for a friend!
thanks for any help!282

Several residents came to the Uhrichsville City Council meeting Thursday to voice their objections to council's plan to pass an ordinance that would require residents to keep all cats on leashes.
Several residents came to the Uhrichsville City Council meeting Thursday to voice their objections to council's plan to pass an ordinance that would require residents to keep all cats on leashes.
Resident Ralph Allen asked council to amend the ordinance to require all cats to be spayed and neutered. Allen also suggested that all cats be required to be licensed and have a tag, and if they were not, they should be euthanized.
"You can't leash a cat. It's a free spirit," stated resident Ron Legursky, who added that he has four cats and it would be impossible to leash them. He was in favor of cats being required to be spayed and neutered.
Councilman Terry Culbertson had many questions for both Allen and Legurksy. Such as how cats would be checked, who would pay the cost of the spaying and neutering, and where would the cats be held until an owner claimed them.
When Councilman Jeff Gyurko asked Allen how one would neuter a wild cat, Allen said if there is no tag, someone would have 30 days to pick it up and claim it, or it would be destroyed.
Allen said the cats could be brought to the fire station.
Council President Mick Donato asked if the cats were picked up, what the city would do with them.
"The police department are not cat trappers," he said. "There would be so much paper work to go with it. And a vet?
"That would be an infringement on them to do it. I'm not saying the cat leash is the right answer, but you haven't thought your ideas through at all."
Councilman Mark Haney said the idea seems to be to license the cats, then let them run free.
"You want the police department to chase cats?" he said. "I have to keep my dog on a leash and clean up after it. People should do the same for cats."
Although council had the third reading of the ordinance, but with only four members of council present, there were not enough members present to pass the ordinance.
Donato said it would be given a fourth reading at the next meeting.
Councilwoman Angela Dunlap was out of town, Linda Davis was ill, and Cathy Cottis was attending a school function.
- n MET in executive session to discuss negotiations and the sale of property with no outcome.
- AGREED to have a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday to pass an ordinance permitting the sale of the Nickles building property to proceed and to pass a resolution regarding the west side storm sewer project.
Page 2 of 2 -
- ANNOUNCED the end meeting in November will be Nov. 21, at 7 p.m.
The second meeting of December will be Dec. 27 at 7 p.m.

Certified Professional Wedding Photography
Let's start with the basics. What does BHP Imaging do? In it's most simplistic form our job is to spend an incredibly important day with two people in love, capturing the moments that they experience. We love hearing your love stories, waking up early with you on your wedding day, and staying through the party. Seriously, we love it. The images crafted on your day are from a friend's perspective. It is our belief that you can only make truly personal images when the subjects are comfortable with the photographer. We aren't your normal fly-on-the-wall photographers. We work to build your trust and to make images representative of that. Let's get to know each other.
In case you were wondering, that Certified Professional Photographer part is pretty tough to get. There are just 7 in Wyoming, and less than 2000 in the United States. Brian received his certification through the Professional Photographers of America in 2011. Certification means that he will create beautiful images no matter what the conditions. It also means that we will not leave the posing up to you. Brian will help move you into the perfect pose for every image.
Certified Professional Commercial Photography
Commercial Photography encompasses anything from Professional Portraits, Custom Print Ad Images to Product Photography. Early in my career I began to drift towards Commercial Photography. My love of commercial photography comes from a love of stories. I suppose this is the connection between the two. Commercial Photography is about telling people a story they don't know they are hearing.
As 1 of 7 Certified Professional Photographers in Wyoming, Brian understands the intricacy of the technical aspect of photography. Specializing in this type of photography allows us to use these skills creatively for a desired response. Please view our list of clients (under the "Clients" tab) to find other companies who trust BHP to craft their images.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
Clayton County Board of Education members were vocal in their protests, earlier this week, over a Clayton County Public Schools proposal to hire a management firm to act as a construction consultant for the next six months.
It is not the position the school board members are protesting, however. It is the company the school system wants to use to do the work: The Gude Management firm.
The firm was used by the school system in late 2008, and early 2009, to re-draw attendance boundaries to accommodate the opening of Charles R. Drew High School. Several board members said they were not impressed by the company's work on that assignment, and said strong accountability clauses would have to be added to any future contracts the schools system awards to Gude.
"I don't want to approve a contract that does not have a strong accountability clause in it," said board member Jessie Goree. "I also want someone in place, who I feel can get the job done. You're asking us to hire someone we weren't satisfied with before, and I'm not willing to take that chance."
The proposal on the table would mean Gude, if approved, would be paid $26,100 a month, for six months, according to an executive summary for the agreement. The summary shows the money would come from Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) IV funds.
School System Chief Operating Officer Cephus Jackson said two top people in the district's construction department, Coordinating Supervisor of Construction Wesley Smith, and School Architect Klaus Darnall, are retiring unexpectedly. The pair were overseeing the opening of two new schools in the county, the new Morrow Middle School, and the Eddie J. White K-8 Academy.
Jackson said, without Smith and Darnall, he will have to take on the responsibility of opening the schools, as well as 15 other construction projects that are underway, and four more projects that will begin in the next few months.
That is why, Jackson said, a construction consultant would be needed until the school system could hire someone to fill the vacancies left by the retirements of Smith and Darnall. "If I'm going to open two new schools, in addition to having two new fields [at Tara and Twelve Oaks stadiums] in place before students come back, I'm going to need some help," Jackson said.
Clayton County Public Schools Superintendent Edmond Heatley added: "That gives us six months to post the positions, interview people, and hire someone to fill these positions."
Jackson said Gude is being recommended because it was the lowest bidder two years ago, when the school system put out bids for this type of agreement.
But, Gude brings with it the baggage from its previous stint with the school system, and the discussion about hiring them for additional work re-opened some old wounds from that experience.
School Board Chairperson Alieka Anderson criticized the company for taking too long to re-draw the boundary lines, and for sending a representative to make presentations two years ago, without having any information to share with board members about the redistricting. "How do you come to make a presentation without any information prepared, or maps to show us," she said. "He could not answer questions."
On Wednesday, Gude Management Chief Executive Officer Sam Gude said he was not aware school board members had any problems with his company's performance with the re-districting, until Jackson told him about it on Tuesday.
The CEO said, "The information flow was probably not as good as it should have been," during the redistricting process, but he said his employees worked "under the directions of the superintendent [John Thompson] they had at the time."
He said his company has worked with 20 other school systems in Georgia and Alabama, and not received any complaints about the company's work from officials in those districts.
"We set out to do some work that would [help] the school system, and we still want to do that," Gude said.
In the end, it may come down to whether school board members believe Heatley and Jackson can do enough to hold the company's feet to the fire. On Monday, Heatley pleaded with board members to go ahead and approve Gude, and offered to take responsibility, if the company's work does not satisfy the school board.
"Allow me to do what I do," the superintendent said. "I will hold Dr. Jackson accountable, and Dr. Jackson will hold Gude accountable."
The school board is schedule to vote on the agreement on July 12.

I am enjoying MTB'ing for over twenty years now. From late 90s on I sticked with the material I already had and all that was bought 'new' were classics of yesteryear. This WTB Phoenix is one of the last projects I did.
This was how it looked when I picked it up >>
Setup as commuter for someone who used it to pedal between his home and his work: musician at Amsterdam philharmonic.
I decided I wanted it to look different and setup for another surpose.
Good inspiration >>
Bugatti T57c Atalante. Old Bugatti stood for Arte - Forme - Technique. Actually the WTB Phoenix is its equivilent on two wheels and human powered.
The result >>
Deep gloss black with mouse grey lower section of Type II fork.
The lettering is sprayed on in mouse grey with a silver outline (dt).
For people not familiar with the WTB: The Phoenix frame is handcrafted by Steve Potts, one of the three founders of WTB. The other being Mark Slate and Charlie Cunningham. Frame design of the Phoenix is heavily influenced by the later. From late70s/early 80s on Charlie Cunningham contributed a lot to the way how our mountainbikes looked like in the upcoming decades.
The frame is extremely slooping. A 15" counts as Medium. The philosophy is that the slooping top tube delivers clearance for manouvrability and that the configuration of the relatively short OS tubing in the tight triangles deliver efficient power transfer, while the long seatpost offers some vertical forgiveness. Viola.
The frame is put together using the welding and brazing technique. Brazing for example with the fillet brazed chin at headtube-downtube connection for improved impact resistance and durability.
Of course the WTB comes with WTB's own patented Grease Guard system. Through the Grease Gooser gun the grease enters through ports, travels through circuits, presses old grease out ...and viola your bearings run with fresh new grease
The following parts use Grease Guard:
- WTB New Paradigm hubs
- WTB New Paradigm headset
- WTB New Paradigm bottom bracket
- WTB Toggle- and Rollercam
- Suntour XC Pro pedals (Suntour acquired license from WTB)
The tail of the frame is 140mm wide and the hub is the matching example for this frame. This is done to reduce dish and creating a stronger wheel. They initiated this with the introduction of the 8 speed system.
The fork is a Type II with Speedmaster studs for in this case the Toggle cam brake. The rear uses a Roller cam that sits mounted under the chainstays. The Phoenix with studs for the cams was officially denoted with 'Phoenix SE' (SE for Special Edition).
A Race Face EX 4130HT stem is holding a Groovy Cycles custom bend ti bar (thanks Rody). The Race Face stem is not the only Canadian touch to this bike. The other is the Syncros crankset.
The next project will be a 80s Gazelle Champion Mondial ATB with Campagnolo Euclid.

Jensen began producing its flatware designs during the first decade of the twentieth century when Denmark was enjoying an economic boom. Sterling silver cutlery was considered a luxury item and the company was well positioned to respond to the growing demand for it. Sigvard Bernadotte, son of King Gustavus VI Adolphus of Sweden, began his career as a designer with Georg Jensen in 1930. His functionalist designs are of notable grace. The ribbed handles of this service not only provide a visual contrast to the smooth, uninterrupted functional elements of each piece, but also ensure a firm grip.

I didn't fully understand the details of this update but does it mean that links I've built for years are now worthless?
I didn't fully understand the details of this update but does it mean that links I've built for years are now worthless?
Not necessarily, garfish, although it's a possibility. Here's a really great read on Penguin, along with some recommendations for avoiding getting crosswise of it: Penguin Analysis: SEO Isn't Dead, But You Need to Act Smarter | Microsite Masters
That is a good article, Doc.
Garfish, if your link-building techniques consisted primarily of directory links, then your rankings are probably toast. Google has had an emphasis on quality link from sites within the same industry for a couple of years.
Their next target may be all of the tens of thousands of crappy directories out there. All they have to do in de-index them like they did to some of the major blog networks.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin
I am really sorry but what is this penguin update?
can i get a official link about it showing information.I google it but got some crapy links with half info.

this mascara is amazing, absolutely one of the best I've ever tried. However it is crazy expensive (365 swedish kronor which is about 40 (!) Euro) It made my lashes seperated and long.

According to its very thick brush, I thought it would be an amazing mascara but I was wrong. The brush could be good but it had a thick and dense formula which binds my eye lashes together and create a spider looking. I think if you have a weak and less lashes it can be a good candidate for you. Thick formula will help you to volumizing your lashes but if your lashes are big and bushy, it will create a spider look.

I received this in a gift with purchase but it costs a crazy $52 here in Australia. So I'm just gonna say outright that at this price, I would never actually buy this. Samples are the way to go : ).
Anyway, I was curious to see how this compared to the Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting mascara cos I love that one. After running out of the bold lifting one, I tried the Sumptuous Extreme and have concluded that it's wonderful too!
I have very stubborn lashes which are short and point downwards. Even if I curl my lashes, it really depends on the mascara I use as to whether or not they will actually hold a curl. In fact, my lashes are so stubborn that I have to curl them one at a time otherwise the second one will start to droop as I'm applying mascara to the first!
I don't have any problem with this mascara. To my happiness, my lashes remain curled whenever I wear this. It adds more volume and length than the bold lifting one. It's not too dramatic for daytime and can be built up for night. I tend to go over my lashes more than once and don't find that they went clumpy, they just looked even more intensely black. The mascara also doesn't smudge which is saying a lot cos I have oily eyelids which with most eye products, needs an eye primer (I love Nars').
So yes, I would definitely recommend giving this mascara a go, especially if you're like me and have trouble finding mascaras that hold a curl and won't smudge. But as I said at the start, probably best not to pay full price for this!

I am rating this based on the full size version. I got it as a GWP and it is one of the few mascaras I've tried that I would re-purchase. Intensely black, wet-looking and doesn't clump; separates and lengthens lashes nicely for a more dramatic look. It's not my daytime, natural mascara look. I really like this mascara.

love this mascara, not clumpy, alot of volume, length, and very black!

This product gave my medium sized blonde lashes and round eyes a dramatic sexy look. Best mascara for bold volume and nice length with no clumps. It's great to apply many times and add on layers to increase the bold volume but also delivers great looking lashes with just a couple sweeps. I would not recommend this product for those seeking more of an individual defined lash look (like the original sumptuous mascara gives) or if your lashes are extremely thin since the wand is thick. Love the results it gave my lashes and it's worth the price.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Grey
Probably one of the best mascaras I've used. I have long, curly, thick and black lashes, so I guess I'm pretty blessed. Don't really know how this would work on sparse, short and straight lashes.
I'm currently using the mascara in Cobalt, and I absolutely love it. It may seem very bright when you apply it, but it does dry in to be a little less dramatic. And whenever I want my eye makeup to be a little less bright or go for a smokey eye, I just apply one light coat of black mascara and it turns into a dark navy colour.
It makes my lashes even longer and thicker, and it honestly doesn't clump at all - not even after several layers.
Only downside is the brush is huge and can be sort of hard to handle, but you really get used to it.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
One of my favorite mascaras ever! I have naturally long, thick lashes and always go for very dramatic eye looks. Natural isn't my thing ;) This mascara doesn't clump, even when I layer on 4-5 coats. I have never had any flakes or raccoon eyes using it. It also comes off easily with makeup remover and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. Overall it's one of the best mascaras I've ever used.

Suchet Revives Rattigan's Man & Boy on UK Tour
Editorial Staff • West End • 11 Aug 2004
Set in the 1930s, Man and Boy finds Suchet playing Gregor Antonescu, a powerful financier who visits his estranged son, Basil, at his Greenwich Village apartment in an attempt to extricate himself from the most catastrophic disaster of his career. After newspaper headlines report that the FBI are looking for Gregor, one by one his wife and associates desert him. Only his son refuses to leave.
Suchet is well known to TV fans for his portrayal of Agatha Christie's Inspector Poirot. His film credits include A Perfect Murder and Executive Decision. Suchet's last major UK stage role was playing Salieri in Peter Hall's revival of Amadeus, which ran at the West End's Old Vic before transferring to Broadway. His other stage credits include Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Oleanna.
In the seven-strong Man and Boy cast, Suchet is joined by David Yelland (Henry IV, Life x 3, Lady Windermere's Fan), Colin Stinton (Art, The Graduate, Guys and Dolls), Ben Silverstone (The Age of Consent), Fritha Goodey, Will Huggins and Jennifer Lee Jellicorse.
Man and Boy is designed by Simon Higlett, with lighting by Mick Hughes and sound and music by Howard Davidson. It's presented by Michael Whitehall and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Following Guildford, the production visits Cambridge, Cork, Bath, Malvern, Brighton, Plymouth, Oxford and Richmond.

We have to be smart about the rate at which we bring the troops back home, because as they return, they will be entering the job market. Of course, by law, they are all supposed to have their jobs to return to, but that happens increasingly less often. Think the unemployment rate is high now? Wait until all our troops return home needing a job.

That lady has every right to protest, I think the picture is a little senstive for some people because during the campaign it was constantly implied that Obama was "a friend of terrorist" , "Pal'in around with terrorist", "is a terrorist" etc i.e. bomb picture + past terrorist implications = Not funny to some folks. Nevahe I agree we see what happen with the first TARP/Stimulus now they are trying to go back and unlawfully tax people 90%

Delialicious Picks Turns 4
All Hallows' Eve – the day when all TV channels are filled with horror movies, while everyone dresses up in costumes and eats an unapologetic amounts of candy. I was never really allowed to celebrate Halloween growing up, but we did sometimes decorate the house windows with pumpkin pictures and bats. And, some unfortunate trick-or-treaters may have received tiny boxes of raisins from my Dietitian father, as my mom scurried through the house to shut off all the lights so it wouldn't look like we were home. Other than these fond childhood memories, the yearly celebration is dear to me because it's the day I decided to launch this blog in 2010. It's so hard to believe that Delialicious Picks is celebrating its four-year anniversary today. The blog has come a long way since its inception and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share my interests with you. I hope you continue the journey with me. Happy Halloween!
Product Review: Pura Botanica Natural Soap Bar
If you're like me and suffer for skin irritations such as eczema, you're always on the lookout for gentle products that won't cause any kind of skin discomfort, especially when it comes to showering. This is why I'm excited to have discovered Pura Botania's All Natural Cleansing Bars, which are made with organic ingredients and essential oils. The soap bars lather nicely and rinse off cleanly, leaving behind baby soft skin.
My favorite so far is the Chai Vanilla soap bar, which uses finely ground vanilla beans to gently exfoliate the skin, while botanical ingredients nourishes and leaves behind the sweet aromas of vanilla and chai.
What I like most about the ingredients in the bar, is that I can actually pronounce everything on the label.
The Natural Cleansing Bars retail for $7.00 on puraproducts.com.

GET THE LOOK: Jessica Biel's Oscars Makeup
Ck one color global makeup artist Kayleen McAdams, gave Jessica Biel her girl-next-door simple makeup look on the red carpet. "I wanted to do something really fresh, light and feminine" said McAdams. "There were so many beautiful pastels in her dress, so I played with those tones." Here's how to get the look:
1. I prepped Jessica' skin with moisturizing face and eye products, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration and Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, to give her makeup a good base to stick to.
2. Then, I used a damp Beauty Blender to apply ck one 3-in-1 face makeup with SPF 8 in fair 200, followed by ck one 3-in-1 concealer in light 1 underneath the eyes, around the nose, and along the edges of her mouth to even out her skin.
3. I used Charlotte Tilbury Sculpt and Highlight Powder on the tops of Jessica's cheekbones, down her nose, and on her cupid's bow.
4. I finished her skin with ck one cream + powder blush duo in breath 100 right on the apples of her cheeks and set it with the powder side of the product to give the look staying power throughout the night.
5. For Jessica's eyes, I started by using a fluffy brush to apply ck one cream + powder bronzer duo in deeply bronzed 400 all over the lid.
6. Then, I used ck one powder eyeshadow in expose and evolved on the inner corners of the eye and along the lash line at the outer corners.
7. I completed her eye with two coats of ck one volumizing mascara on the top lashes to pump up the lashes.
8. Then, I applied the same mascara onto an eyelash comb and combed through the bottom lashes to slightly darken them.
9. For Jessica's lips, I used Tarte Lip Surgence in Lucky to cover her whole lip with a matte pink; I also used this product in the center of her lips to give dimension and add moisture to her look.
10. Lastly, I gave Jessica's lips a good coating of Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Lip Balm to soak in while I did her eyes.
