Ongoing sock issues...

As I'm rummaging through drawers assembling New Year's Eve getup, I realize from one drawer that I still have sock issues.  For which a solution passed across Pinterest.

 

If the new year = sock and closet cleanout—check out Grosgrainfabulous blog here for something to do with mismatched socks.  I think they intend toy, but I'm thinking draft dodger or kitty hip/chin-cushion for elderly kitties who insist on laying right up against cold windows.  I'll likely use fabric glue instead of stitching.

 

 

I was a bit surprised I spotted it in the midst of a wave of all the Ugg boots and Tiffany gifts to buy that are inexplicably flooding the Pinterest boards as if someone paid for retail ads.  I'm using Pinterest and facebook way less now that so much " for sale" ads, etsy, sponsored links, and suggested pages are overwhelming posts from people I follow.
