What I {Should Mention} Today

Well my sister Amanda made it safely back to Germany.

She even made it through customs with 100 lbs worth of baby gear.

She and Philipp went to the doctor...

It's a GIRL!!!

Frankly I'm relieved.

I don't know how to make a lot of stuff for boys.

And I have a lot more pink materials to work with.

So yay girls!

She already started requesting stuff for me to make for little Baby Laum.

The first thing on her list was a pair of crocheted booties.

I should mention that I have attempted to make booties before.


I needle felted these.  I've never tried to make them again.  I should.


It all started with a pair of shoes Mia was given. They were cute but were missing a lil somethin somethin

So I added a lotta somethin somethin...


Ahhh that's better.

So I was lookin at them and thought to myself, "I bet I could figure out how to make those."

I do that a lot now.  Now that I've embraced my crafty side I have a desire to deconstruct everything I see and figure out how I can make it myself.  I also have a strong urge to embellish everything I own now.  I'm working on my self control.
Anyways, I attempted to make some myself.  The results were...interesting...

Someone told me they look like dinner rolls.

Not exactly the look I was going for.

So then I tried to make one for the other foot...

Yeah it looks ok right?

WRONG

Yeeeaaahh...

I can't even make dinner rolls that are the same size!

So those are a work in progress. 

It has recently come to my attention that I should mention

THIS IS NOT MY BABY

It's not that I don't love this baby.

Cause I do.

And I suppose if I were forced to claim a baby as my own I would most likely choose this baby.


But the fact remains that this is my niece.

Cute, but not my baby.

  1. perhaps you could persuade your niece to .. grow one foot slower than the other.. and make you uneven dinner roll shoes.. practical .. just an idea

  2. it's ok, your half-korean baby is going to be so much cuter...i know it's hard to imagine, but trust me (sorry mia, but it's the way of the world).
