As usual this weekend had me starting a billion different projects with a completion of none! But I'm ok with that because each activity has a promising end! I began my Impossibility project of sewing my new dress. Which I decided to make out of a tan corduroy. So far so good... I think. I know a few things that I've done wrong so far but this is a learning process so I'm ok with that.
While in the sewing room I decided I also wanted to try and make the baby some booties. He's just starting to learn how to walk so he still needs a soft bottom shoe he's not really ready for a sneaker or anything like that. I haven't seen anything in the stores that I feel like spending $50+ bucks on, so after a suggestion from one of the moms at Little Man's school, I thought I'd take a stab at it. It's starting to come together.

| The bootie pieces out of felt and burlap |
Pretty much the only thing I finished was a pom pom for my son's hat. If you've ever wanted to know how to make a pom pom... here's how:
 |
| Tracing a circle out of two cardboard pieces with what else? A sippy cup |
 |
With your two pieces of cardboard together you begin winding your yarn
around the circle through the whole in the middle |
 |
| This is what it looks like when wrapped up |
 |
Then you put your scissors in between each cardboard
piece and cut the yarn |
 |
Wrap the end of your yarn around the middle and
tie a knot (this holds it all together) |
 |
| Snip the cardboard and slide it out |
 |
| fluff it up a bit and now you have a pom pom! |
I hope everyone had a nice weekend!
