With only 3 weeks left until the Christmas One of a Kind Show in Toronto, I am completely immersed in booties, bum powder, and bum salve creation. As my inventory grows I can't help thinking of all the little baby tootsies that will be kept warm and cozy this winter-- makes me smile!
Here are a few of the latest:
A Little Background...
My husband Skeet sensed I was pregnant even before
I did. He claims that as soon as I tenderly showed him the first little
brown-and-pink pair of baby booties I felted, he knew we must have a wee one on
the way. Sure enough, he turned out to
be right—although I might have gone with a different colour scheme had I known
our first born was to be a boy.
Since then I’ve felted
hundreds of pairs of booties, with the desire to bring soft warmth and comfort
to tiny precious feet everywhere.
I want my babies to
always be able to feel the earth beneath their feet, its intricate contours, so
that they might learn to pattern their walking properly, in a way most healthy
for the alignment of their bodies, and with a feeling of connection to and
respect for the earth. Such soft-soled footwear allows for this in the gentlest,
quietest possible way. And so BumbleToes was born. For little Earth Walkers.
