Toddler Booties!

I have just finished my first pair of booties for "bigger" kids. These ones were made for Jade and I sure hope they fit. I took all of her measurements when I was in Whitehorse in the spring and they look pretty good! So Jade is going to be my guinea pig to see how these stand up to use by a toddler. I had only made small sizes up to now for kids that aren't really walking yet. I also did these out of a canvas. I was able to use the serger on some seams, but some parts were too thick. I would do them a little differently next time so more edges were serged. I broke one of the serger needles- so the liners will have to wait until tomorrow to be completed.

The store that sells my booties in Whitehorse, Midnight Sun Gallery, has been asking me for bigger sizes. I am going to show these off there before delivering them to Jade. They placed an order for 6 more pairs that I have to drop off this week.




Matt is off in Ross River working until tomorrow. I hate being alone in a dark house! And it looks like he will be gone a bunch this fall. The first two weeks of September and 20 days in October to Pelly Crossing. That is about three hours northwest of here. I am not too happy about it, but ah well! We can go with him when we want, and we can even travel in his government vehicle with him. I really don't mind being by myself, but with being sick while pregnant, I am worried I will just get exhausted. But Matt said if I am pooped, just hire a sitter and a housekeeper! I think I will fake sick to ensure that I get the housekeeper! My house is usually really clean, but I hate washing the floors and I feel pretty sick after cleaning the bathroom while pregnant.

And speaking of pregnant- I think I am in my seventh week. If this is like last time, all hell will hit in another week or so. I have been throwing up a little and making yaking/ralping noises when I get winded or sit/stand to quickly. My husband hates the word yak and I love it. But we both agree that I sound more like a ralph when I am sick!
