Time and Baby Legs

Being the wanna-be-suzy-homemaker that I am, I had grand intentions of making all sorts of neat things for my baby ... crocheted hats and booties, clothes etc. Yeah I was naive. I didn't count on having a baby who insisted on being held 23 hours a day and therefore limiting anything else I do to one-handed tasks. On the upside, I've gotten more reading done, I follow a lot of blogs now, and I am getting good at typing one-handed. These are the things I do while nursing. But I was still on the search for a fun craft project that would only take 15 minutes start to finish.

Another issue I have been looking for a solution to is cold baby legs. I Love legless onesies for the ability to change a diaper without having to undo and refasten 10 leg snaps. It is not uncommon for baby K to need a diaper change every hour so the snaps were getting old. The problem with the onesies was cold baby legs, So you can imagine how thrilled I was to stumble on these directions for making baby leg warmers. I made 5 pairs in the last two days. I got a 5-pack of socks for $5. (so it is a cheap project as well) and whipped these out in about 10 minutes each.

Check out Keziah sporting the purple ones today.
