Look! Baby shoes!
I got the best surprise in the mail today! Look at these little kimono booties that my best friend, Carolyn, sent to me. Aren't they adorable? Am I really having a baby? Oh my. The funny this is that today I started painting the baby's room this light blue color, and look at the background color in the shoe fabric! Perfect! Carolyn bought these sweet shoes on etsy from Little Lily! Cute, cute, cute!
these are gorgeous. are they cotton and felt?
ReplyDeleteHi Manic! Yeah, they are soft felt inside and the outside is a really sturdy cotton. I would wear them myself if I could, although they probably wouldn't look as cute in my size.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I found your blog through The Common Room and have enjoyed looking around. (Your Martha post cracked me up!)
ReplyDeleteI noticed your Etsy stuff is gone. Is it because of the new legislation about to go into effect? Do you have thoughts about the CPSIA?
Just wondering what a fellow crafter is thinking about it all.
Hi Smockity,
ReplyDeleteMy shop is empty because my belly is so full! I am in the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy, and this one has been harder than my last ones. I am wiped out, basically. I'm just trying to stay rested and spend time with my kids. My due date happens to coincide almost exactly with the Feb 10 CPSIA deadline, so I get to conveniently fade out for a while and see what happens on that front. I was so upset about the new law that I spent like 2 weeks doing nothing but posting on etsy forums. I am hopeful that things will work out, but for now, I think the comments from people like Cheryl Falvey and Julie Vallese, while optimistic, are a little silly. Their attitude seems to be "oh, we're not targeting you handmade crafters, don't worry!" Well, until the law changes, I will still worry.
Those are so lovely!
