Little Booties Go for a Stroll

My friend Kate had her baby shower a couple of weeks ago and her extremely talented mom Margaret (or Cousin Margaret as I like to call her) created origami booties as a token of thanks for all the guests. She made my gift in keeping with the theme of White Cabana. How thoughtful, right? Thank you so much Cousin Margaret!

The pair of white baby booties came in a beautiful box with a perfect red crane closure. Such a beautiful work of art.

I was so smitten with the design and workmanship of this sweet little gift that I decided to have a little fun and try making a stop-motion video. These booties are made for walkin’! Here’s my very first video:

      It was a pretty clever idea and very fitting. I think my next video (if there ever is one) should have music. One step at a time.

      They look pretty complicated to me…I can manage a boat and a crane and that’s about all. A quick search on Google reveals some instructions. Have a look: http://bit.ly/h2q63p and http://bit.ly/gOKrC6 I do not know what exact steps Margaret followed for the ones she made.
