Simply Lovely Lace Socks I

Hi, this is Haley. I asked my Mom to make me some socks, now! So she did. I love them. I even walked around the house for three days wearing only one sock while I waited for the other. I have fun with my new socks. Mom says that they make my feet look like candy and she tries to eat them. I also like that the bottom part is so smooth and the top part is all bumpy. It's funny. Okay, talk to you later.

Spiral Boot Socks

I have finally finished the Spiral Boot Socks. The ones that I started back in August. I guess the Monkey socks got me onto a little sock kick. I am glad to have these done, and I am never going to make another pair of high socks. Or at least not until I get a bug for some yarn that is asking me to make them into knee high socks.

They do look cute under my boots though. Now I just have to work on my tan. It is kinda nice how the pale, soft pink sock matches the pasty, white glare of my legs. Once I put on my boots, all of the work seem to be worth it. They look so cool.And I managed to get all of it done with the one ball of ToFutsies. I can't believe how much yarn was in it. I also had an unused ball to take back and exchange.

In The Meantime

I finished my Spiral Boot Socks. I would love to share them with you, except I seem to be having a hard time getting a picture that I like. I may have to borrow my neighbor tomorrow to take a good picture.

In the meantime, I will share this.

You know those shoes that you loved as a kid and wanted to wear them everywhere? They were the cheap plastic, heeled, dress up shoes that made you fell like a princess. Well, my daughter has several pairs of these. It makes me a little nervous sometimes because we have so much tile in our house and I am waiting for her to slip an hit her head.

It seems that what I should of been worrying about was the bathroom scale. She was goofy off, watching me go my hair and climbing all over everything in those darn shoes. The next thing we know is that there is a loud pop and the heel of her shoes cracked the plastic window in half. You know, the window that never tells you what you want to hear.

I wasn't too worried about the scale. I only own it because my husband wanted to
monitor my weight gain while I was pregnant. He uses it more than I do. But, little Haley was very upset that it had gotten broken. So, I had to dig out the super glue. Now instead of looking at the red line, you get to guess which number is under all the sloppily placed glue.
