the smallest thing I have ever made

 These are some little baby shoes I made for my boyfriends Niece. As you can see she is a baby and he didn't know what to get her for Christmas.
So I decided to step in and look on a tutorial or pattern online for something simple. Or so I thought, they are simple enough just very fiddly and tiny. 
If you would like to make the same ones have a look on this link;

Very simple and a great scrap fabric user ;)
Have a great Christmas and new year until 2012!!!
