Reflections on life from an older, working mother with two boys. My blog is inspired by my niece's blog called "Life of a Domestic Goddess." At the end of the day at our house, if no one has been to the emergency room, Childrens' Services has not called, my sweater wasn't on inside out at work, and we have eaten something other than poptarts and donuts for at least one meal, I call it good!

Second and Third Attempts
I won't even show a photo of bootie #1...
They are getting better and I'm learning how to sew with suede. (My best tip that I didn't read elsewhere on the internet: Hold it together with little clothes pins, 'cause you can't use regular pins....and that seems easier than the binder clips others suggest.)
I'm still fiddling with the pattern and the design. I want elastic in the ankle part, but that is easier said than done.
The green one looks better, but in fact, it isn't put together in a way that will make it easy to put on and off, so... Back to the drawing board.
