Cuter than Cute

These are my second pair of newborn slippers which are found here, as a free pattern. LOVE LOVE LOVE them, could they be any cuter? And they are easy too, perfect for all the babies in the world. I know the picture is a little dark, I couldn't get a decent shot with the flash on. I modeled them on this freaky little Urkle doll, who, oddly, has the same size feet as a newborn baby. Bizarre, I know, but kinda fun too.

Spring break is in full force right now, and we spent our Easter with J's parents. It was fun, and then they took the boys for a few days, so the house is sort of quiet. It is a little boring actually. I don't have anyone to play trains with me. Or anyone to take swimming. But they are having great fun, and they'll be home soon enough. And these are J's parent's neighbor's horses. Twenty pregnant ladies, all looking miserable and ready to pop. The cool thing was that you could see the little horses (foals) moving around in those big pregnant bellies. That is something I will always remember feeling and I still miss it, but just seeing these mares looking so ready makes me thankful it isn't me that is about to burst!

I love these pictures, especially the kid ones. Where in the heck did you get that doll! He looks pretty good with those slippers on. I should probably try and make them, the slippers not the doll.

my crazy sister found that doll in her car, and decided to bless my kids. I am disinclined to ask what he was doing in a college girl's car to begin with, so I am not sure where he made his home before here. He used to wear glasses, but Mimi wears them now. Do make those slippers, they are so cute and super easy and use almost no yarn at all.
