Booties!

My goodness!  It has been a while since I posted, and, I am happy to be back!!

My dear husband blew out a disk in his back earlier this year and needed a lot of care.  The poor fella was in agony at first.  Opiates helped some, but, he was not wanting to get into that habit.  Eventually, with some exceptional care from his doctor and some back injections, he is just about back to normal.  I wanted to keep him company as much as possible because he was confined to the home so much.  So instead of spending time in the craft room, I would hand sew - which I can do just about anywhere.

I made these adorable baby booties using felted wool and some printed jersey for the laces.  At first I tried making them with contrasting thread (white thread against the pink wool), but, my stitches just did not look that great.  This is the result of my third attempt.  When you are making tiny items, every little detail needs to look just right.  Or maybe I just obsess a little... LOL

The pattern came from a Creative bug class with Kata Golda 

I am hoping to expand my baby booty skills with felt.  There are some really cute patterns out there!
