Have you seen the Bitty Booties Photo Pool lately? There are some amazing little booties in there – almost 200 photos. Some with amazing embroidery, some with funky embellishments, some simple, some a little wild — so many great interpretations of a simple baby shoe (free pattern in my sidebar). Go take a peek at the photo pool if you’re expecting a baby, know someone who’s expecting a baby or are just looking for crafty inspiration. You’re bound to think of someone to make shoes for once you’ve bathed in the cutness that is Bitty Booties.
Also tickling my fancy is this new patchwork dress from Anthropologie. Who’d have thought a patchwork dress could look so chic? Yes, and a little Oklahoma, but I like musicals. I’m pencilling-in a patchwork dress for a summertime project in my fantasy craft calendar. Who knows, some dreams come true.
Thanks for the chandelier love. And, yes, you’ve been heard…I’ll try to get some good pictures of the
studio tomorrow. I have such a good time taking detail shots, I
haven’t stepped back to get the big picture. (Sounds like a metaphor
for something.)
Finally, today’s the last day to vote for the Bloggies. I’m putting in a major bid for Amy Angry Chicken who’s a finalist in the Best Craft Weblog category. Just in case I’m not being obvious enough… Go vote for Amy!
I checked out the booty pool. Wow! Must be a great feeling to see all the creativity that has come out of your pattern! I too downloaded the pattern but, (sigh) being a procrastinator and all, I haven’t produced anything yet. But I will eventually!
I know-that dress ack!
Did you see the wildly wonderful couch too???

Looking now for antique couch to paint and wild wonderful fabric to cover it…..
Heh… “fantasy craft calendar.” This is my life. In grad school how I got through the stress of finals and papers was to imagine all the cool clothes I would sew just as soon as the semester was over. I got through school but my “wardrobe” is still in the fantasy department. 😀
Oh! I love making the booties…thank you Heather for this precious pattern….now about that pear pincushion pattern??? 😉
These booties are so cute ! I’d love to work on these patterns.
I wish I had someone to make little booties for! They are so sweet!
Love all the booties photos – they are just delightful. Can’t wait to see the shots of the studio!
Thank you for the inspiration! I owe a few baby gifts right now, and these are perfect.
And I am right with you an the Angry Chicken…
I just love your designs and pictures. The way you take your pictures off center appeals to me greatly. Any advise for someone looking to take better photographs? Your personal thoughts on digital cameras?
Nice collage Heather!
