Alleluia! The Booties are Done.


I finally finished  sewing on the velcro for the booties. It was agony. More so in thought than in actual execution. When I look back on it, it really wasn't at all bad. In the end, it turned out fine. Finished the project on Saturday morning, just in time for Mother's Day. Mommy was very happy with the gift. Yay :)

I still have to work on my seams, they still look a little wonky. But I'm sure with practice, I'll get there. My first pair of baby booties for a real baby was, for the most part, a success. They fit and EVERYTHING!

Iron Man - Go See It!


Hi All! Just a quick note to say that the hubby and I went on an unplanned trip to the movie theater. We were walking along Broadway with nothing special scheduled, when suddenly a giant LED screen screamed out to us with the words "IRON MAN" in neon green. Yes, the signage is cheesy, but a great theater nonetheless.

I loved it. Timothy was very happy with Robert Downey Jr.'s performance and so was I. Great character, great story. For those who know me, I never followed the comic book series, but according to Timothy, they did nice interpretation.

So whether you're a follower of the series or an Iron Man newbie, fun will be had by all. There's probably a lot more I can say, but I'm working on a tight schedule so we'll have to chat later. In the meantime, if you've seen it, feel free to leave your comments about the movie.

As far as the knitting, I still can't bring myself to sew that last piece of velcro on those dang booties! Okay, tonight. For real.
