Sunday morning surfing…click to see the knitted wings journal
I decided to check and see if Sock Dreams is showing up on google yet, hurray for google!!! we’ve got the top four spots for sock dreams, fifth is someone’s knitting journal and this dreamy sock pic on the right. She also has a link to the sock tour which I’ve seen before, if you haven’t, it’s sooo cute, check it out: Sock Tour, lower down on the google list is this fun essay on the mystical Sock Land “Every sock dreams of getting the chance to live in Sock Land.” Then I found a fabulous site I want to look at more later, Nylon Dreams, the page I linked has a roll on sock/nylon glue, we need to get some of that!
Unfortunately Sock Dreams didn’t rank very high for sock content, but that will come in time though I noticed some of Fetishize Me’s rankings dropped too, we used to get top ranking for sexy socks, maybe it’s better we don’t judging by all the results on the first page ~;) I’m not saying there is anything wrong with porn, especially sock porn, it just isn’t my thing, my sock love is pure and my sock fetish is non sexual (just thought I’d mention that while we’re on the subject). Okay fellow sock fans this sock girl needs more coffee so she can get back on her sock garter project…

oh, while I’m at it, I want to include these interesting links sent to me yesterday: an ancient Roman bronze statue in South London. The foot of the statue appears to be wearing a woolly stocking under a “Mediterranean type” sandal.
which leads us to Greek Sandals at Natasha’s Cafe, another neat site I need to look at more later, she has some nice foot jewelry….

long coats, long socks, short pants & warm toes
you can’t see them but I’m actually wearing two pairs of socks garters with my brick red otk socks. The top pair is tucked under the cuffs keeping them above my knees. I ran out of black thread so I haven’t made anymore like the ones I wore lower to show off, they are brass & look so nice with this black elastic (which I will talk alot more about tomorrow, or monday…). These are the plain over the knee socks we get from the same supplier as the cotton stripes, at first they don’t look like much, they might even look a bit scraggly, but they really are a nice sock~ thick, long & warm. Speaking of stripes, we have three new colors of the cotton stripes, four new striped thigh highs and two new fuzzies (no fuzzy stripes though, not yet).
See you tomorrow~:)

Who wants pie?
clickity click to see the pie!
I love pecan pie!!!
…and have long wanted to make a chocolate chip bourbon version, this morning I baked up the Jack Daniel’s pecan pie recipe, it was rich, sinful & STRONG!!! but delicious all the same! In the past we haven’t been eager to celebrate the holidays, I think it’s all the years I worked in retail, especially the 11 years in retail food, I’d be too burnt out to enjoy the holidays by the time they came around every year. But this year we have sooo much to be thankful for, warm socks, good friends, bearable family~;) delicious food and happy sock wearers around the world. Now that my belly is full and I can hardly see straight I’m getting all comfy in my yummy angora otk’s and my arm warmers I made from a funky pair of kilt socks (grey & ivory are back in btw).
getting comfy with my home made arm warmers
I’ve made lots of socks garters over the past few days and will work on updating them in the morning. Right now I’m too sleepy…

It’s official…
as of this morning
if you order from us you are now ordering from Sock Dreams…
it will show as Sock Dreams in your email & bank statements
so no more worries about fetish-anything showing up when you buy socks, except for the labels on the custom made longsocks which will say Fetishize Me for some time to come (I have requested Sock Dreams to go on the labels of the new batches but they said they have preprinted many labels for us already and I agreed to keep using them)
Fetishized Long socks
and, in case you’ve been wondering, I’ve been wearing longsocks all week, grey 50 inchers, purple 36 inchers (yes, I’m afraid we are currently out of both colors) and right now I’m wearing the thick & buggy black longsocks.
Don’t worry, I will take pictures to share soon…

Special needs…
here is a letter I got a few days ago…

First of all, let me say that I love your site.
I think the socks are very sexy. My problem is this:
my boyfriend loves crazy cool socks like the ones on your website, but he has a large male sized foot and the typical womens 9-11 don’t fit him. Where can I find awesome, brightly patterned socks like yours in mens sizes?

Most of us know how weird sock sizing is, it’s a very narrow range that often isn’t accurate anyway. I’ve always wanted to bring in a larger range of sizes, but it isn’t as easily done as said. Now, I know alot of men wear our socks so I asked just what size are we looking for here?…

Hi Niqkita,
His feet are size 12W mens, which is like a size 14W womens I think. He can barely squeeze into a few pairs of zany socks I’ve found, but they’re uncomfortable and they wear out very quickly. I’ve been looking *everywhere* for larger socks in cool patterns, but they’ve proven impossible to find. I was really hoping you’d have a lead or two.

Oh how I wish I did have a lead or two or more…
so, I was hoping to get some feedback, here in the comments preferably, from those of you with larger feet who know if any of our styles will fit size 12W men’s or 14W women’s or if there are any good places to find socks in this size range…

I am posting this excerpt from an email my sister forwarded me because I’m always wanting to please everyone and trying to remember that it just isn’t realistic. No matter how I arrange the site, what styles we offer & what services we provide someone will always say it would be better if

Parable Number 4
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along some people remarked “It was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding”. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later they passed some people who remarked “what a shame, he makes that little boy walk”. They decided they both would walk! Soon they passed more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So they both rode the donkey! Now they passed some people who shamed them saying “how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey” The boy and man said they were probably right so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.
Management lesson: If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose your ass.

Happy Birthday Bsti!!!

yes, today is my sweetie’s birthday…
not only is he my favorite person in the whole world
he is also head of shipping here at Sock Dreams/Fetishize Me
…if you’ve ordered our socks he packaged them & sent them off
he also provided much of the fetish inspiration for this site…
(he adores feet, in & out of socks, but not in a kinky way~:)
when I was at a loss for how to present socks in an appealing way he gave me endless ideas on which angles & poses to try (and still does)
he puts up with me when I’m hyper-focused, tense, stressed out ect…
and on my worst days he makes the best dinners to make it all better.
One night last March I found the shot above in with my day’s shots
He did it to surprise me, I love this shot…
I think he has such nice shapely feet
(we both have fallen arches so anytime our arches show it’s a beautiful thing to us)
Yes, all that & he wears sexy socks too! Lucky me!!!!!!!!!

Guest toes for our weekend enjoyment…

Hello Niqkita.
I want to share this story and pictures with you. About two weeks ago, I read your article about wearing longsocks to bed to help keep your feet and legs warm and help you sleep. Every night when I go to bed, I put on my 50 inch withe crazy long socks. They warmed my feet and legs so good that I fell asleep without interruption until the sun came up. I didn’t want to take them off. They are so cute and sexy. When I got dressed for the day, I put on my 36 inch white socks with my hunter green t-shirt, blue denim shorts, and my pair of brown handsewn shoes. It turned out to be a clear, warm day. It looks like the scientific study you talked about was right. T.Y. much.

where's the feet?
I wore the plain EG Smith cotton anklets for a few hours the other day…
when I slipped off my slip ons the socks stayed with them…
I thought it was too cute not to share.
Tomorrow, guest socks…
