Winter


Winter is upon us...IT'S FREEZING HERE! The high has been 38 degrees, but then the wind has also been between 20 and 45 mph so it feels like it's in the low 20's. It's ridiculous! I made Ruth some booties to help keep her warm because she won't keep socks on for the life of me. I found the idea of how to make them HERE, but then turned them inside out so that the seams were on the inside. I also added elastic and folded the top over so that hopefully she'll keep them on her feet. It was super easy and only took about an hour to cut and sew. I used two layers of pink and white striped flannel for each side of the bootie so that they'll be extra warm, and then two layers of pink flannel for the sole. They don't look super cute in the picture but are cute on her tootsies.
