Baby Booties

This pair of booties is made from a combination of fabrics by designer Mary Engelbreit.

Sole is lined with yellow hand dyed felted wool. Upper and heel are lined with a dotted red fabric. Really breit and fun!

ETSY seems to be down right now, but when it is back up, I will be listing these little cuties!

********** NEW*************

Just wanted to tell you about the new booties I am making! The booties are inspired by the classic ones we see everywhere, but my version is narrower to better fit the newborn foot. This first pair shows off a sweet rosebud cotton, and has oilcloth monkeys on the toe. The sole and upper is lined with hand dyed felted wool for cosy toes!

I have lots of fun fabrics to mix and match and will be listing them on ETSY as they are completed.

Boho Chic Small Clutch / Pouch

This is a new design. Small enough to lay on the top of the table on a night out, but large enough to hold all of the necessities.

I made a mid-size bagg in the same fabric that has been very well received. One currently resides in Bend, OR; and another was sent to Seattle this past week. Each is different due to placement of pattern on the fabric to capture a specific section of the pattern. I love the colors and the weave. Very 1960's.................

Camping in mid-June

Dry camping at the trailhead to Windy Valley Trail this past weekend; many wildflowers are in bloom. This nootka (sic) rose has only two blooms, but tons of buds ready to open!

This week activity

Donation for Congressman Mike Thompson fund raiser... silent auction. ... to be held in Del Norte County, CA this coming weekend.

The bagg can also be seen on my ETSY site.

Follow-up note: The bag was won by Katherine M. and she loves it!

Another Camping Trip!!

This is how we like to go camping! Hook up the little Casita (16") and go! We haven't left the yard yet; do you think the Barbie jeep will pull this thing? Sure makes the Casita look like one of the "Big Guys"!

So, here we are, doing what we like to do while camping... sitting in the sun, or shade if it is really warm. On this trip we didn't go far. Panther Flat campground near Gasquet, CA. The weather was in the 90's. The Casita held the heat like you couldn't believe!

We did very little actual cooking, so the cleanup, which I did at the picnic table, was minimal as well.

Lola the dog loves to go camping! She played all day with her ball, and we took several trips down to the river to let her get soaked to cool off!
