I just finished these little boots for Liam. They have a leather bottom and crocheted wool top. I fell in love with a pair very similar at a baby boutique, but they wanted $50 for them. I thought to myself " i can make those". i got the leather at a liquidation store for 23 cents and the wool for $7. The pattern i used is free from Lion Brand but instead of crocheting the soul i cut out a piece of leather in the shape of a soul, punched holes around the outside and started crocheting from the "sides". I really like the way they turned out. I am going to make another pair with sheepskin, but the next size up for the summer.

New clothes for Liam
I just finished some new clothes for Liam this week: a cute crocheted gray wool vest with wooden buttons and cotton lined green wool pants to keep him warm and dry this winter. They look so nice on him. I found the Pattern for the pants Here .
I had to add some extra space around the hips to make room for his cloth diaper but besides that is a really good pattern and I'm going to use it again.
I couldn't find a pattern to make the vest so i had to just guessed but i think it turned out wonderful. I'm planing to felt it sometime this week because its a little big and i think it would look nice.
