What the baby wants the baby gets

Mind you this baby is only a month old.... however when Mom announced that Baby M thinks she needs new booties to match her outfits, who am I to deny her?

So once again yarn was cast for the Cutest Booties by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. She has the best blog The Yarn Harlot. I've been following her for awhile and her posts always bring a smile. This is the best baby booty pattern I have found. I have knitted so many of these that I have lost count. I think I first blogged about them here.

I love how the grey booties turned out! It uses Baby Cashmerino by Debbie Bliss. It is a wonderful light weight DK, a blend of wool, acrylic and cashmere. It is so soft and even better it is washable! Perfect for a the little one!

I wanted to make another pair of booties just a tad bit smaller so I chose, a baby weight yarn. I have used this yarn for may booties and baby hats as it is the perfect weigh for wee little items.

This is what I had left after I made the booties. It comes as a 25gr ball and is the perfect size for this project. The left over yarn can be used for pom poms for other projects.

To make the ties, I used a double thread and just crocheted a chain. The pom poms are made using the Clover Pom Pom Maker...best thing ever!! Your pom poms are perfect every time!

I wonder how many other colors she'll be needing?

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

October UFO

Another month has started which means it's another UFO. I could get depressed about what I haven't been able to finish but instead I think I will be thankful for what I have finished! So with that, what's up for October? What does this mean for me? Well as far as sewing is concerned that means that my October UFO is the USA Map. I'd love to get this done and put it upstairs in my themed "vacation room". And what does it mean for knitting? I had chemo hats down but since those are all finished I modified my list to make knitted knockers. How appropriate for breast cancer awareness month! This challenge has been good and I have been to focus on things in my stash. Speaking of stash, Sherri from A Quilting Life blog had a great tutorial on a patchwork bag . I had some mini charm packs that I have been trying to figure out what to do with and this was the perfect project. Sew the squares together add...

Hubby had a birthday... And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence. Someone loved moving the bed up and down. Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery. The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting... We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday...
