Thanks for reminding me, it's time to bundle up and deliver.

I crochet booties for the local pregnancy crisis center and tiny ones that I give my niece, an RN who works in a Neonatal ICU. For the NICU, I leave the toes open so the nurses can put them over monitors, IV's, etc. Don't you hate to see those poor babies with one naked foot?

I can finish one bootie in 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how much attention I'm paying to it. It gives me something to do while waiting or while the air plane takes off. One good side effect is I always have a present when a baby is born.

And I get to mention the fact that there are pregnancy crisis centers to anyone who asks what I'm making!
