The birth of a new baby is always such lovely, special news and it seems like we have been waiting for this new arrival forever. The weather has been almost Shakespearean with it's hot, midsummer nights that seemed to mirror our anticipation of the great event, quickly followed by tempestuous thunder storms that began to rattle around the UK almost as soon as the new Prince was born!
Ever since HRH Prince George Alexander Louis first wiggled those tiny little fingers at the cameras waiting to catch a glimpse of him on the steps of the Lindo Wing, I've been thinking how to celebrate with a blog make and eventually came up with the idea of some small pale blue booties... but for something a little different these are not 'real' ones, instead they are cute little motifs that you could use in all sorts of ways (especially if you are into handmade cards or scrapbooking!)
It's all just been too exciting and without further ado I shall guide you through the step-by-steps....
First, gather together a 3mm crochet hook and some fine cotton yarn in the palest baby blue you can find.....
