patchwork shoes...

I've been playing around with different designs for the baby shoes I make, and last week I made these little patchwork shoes for a friend expecting a baby boy any day now. (I hope it's soon, for her sake!)

A friend of mine in Korea had a baby girl this week, so I made her these to include in a package. This pair was made up of slightly larger squares, so was a bit quicker to piece together. I used cotton prints given to me by Emily. I quite like the patchwork look for these reversible shoes. Not sure if I have the patience to make too many like this though.

I had a feeling last week that talking about the 'mild winter' and all that 'sunny weather' was going to get us into trouble. Over the weekend, we woke up to a fresh coating of snow, much to K and A's joy. They're so happy playing out there. I admire their tolerance of the cold.
