Three is the number Little Man turned on Friday. We had an impromptu get together at grandma’s, and our planned beach party will be another day.

Nathan turning three
Wait, Wait, everyone must sing!
Nathan is now three
Yes! I’m threeee! Now blow the candles Nathan. Blow. Those. Over there.

Three is also the number of attempts needed before I finally made a booty that would actually fit the intended baby.

Another Sarrtjes Bootee - because there never can be enough of these

I love how these finally turned out - well actually the other two pairs are good looking also just doll sized :) The yarn is super wash merino spun from the Sheep 2 Shoe kit (literally now - huh) roving I bought at Rhinebeck last year from Blue Moon Fiber Arts.

These were a quick knit, but….. The actually finishing took me longer than the knitting. Well maybe not, I could be exaggerating. I have this mental block. A tiny item should just take a tiny amount of finishing - right?

No matter, I really do like them, and will be doing them again. I have dreams of making them super-sized. With a little fleece lining on the inside, and little bits of felt on the bottom for wear, sized just for me. Hmmmm

    Happy Birthday Nathan!!!! He is getting so big! Is it just me, or is his hair super curly?

    LMAO, oh my god, Little Man really is the cutest thing ever. :) I can hear him saying “Noo…. WAIT for it!”

    Love the booties with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Love them.
