These Boots Were Meant for Walking ...


I have been thinking about feet quite a lot lately. Before embarking on something new I decided to make just one more pair of Baby Bee Booties with this lovely soft pink wool that I found in my stash. They are a bit compulsive. These ones are for sale in my Etsy shop. I have decided to never make a duplicate pair, as it is much more fun making them individual in some way. The pattern for these boots is available on ravelry, Craftsy or Etsy, and you can get there through the links in my sidebar.

After posting about the Leafy Cowl last Friday I somehow got up from the computer, and I think because I'd been sitting on my foot, got it caught in the chair, and fell over. Ridiculous I know. (As I was near the computer, and not the phone, I did for a few moments think I might have to blog for HELP!) My right foot is now one enormous bruise. I thought about putting on a photo, but it is so horrible it would probably scare anyone from my blog for good.


It is on the mend now, but I was housebound for most of the weekend, and going a bit stir crazy. It really made me consider how hard it is for folk who can't get out and about for whatever reason.

    Sorry about your foot, we humans are sometimes a bit un-handy. Hope you recover very soon. Love the tiny booties.

    Hope your foot gets better soon. Blogging for help would have been quite an unusual and original idea though.

    Hopefully it won't be too long before your foot is back to normal, make sure you rest it, a good way of resting it is by making more of your wonderful items. I love the little bee on the booties.

    Take care and have a good week
