foot envy

all over blogland i see perfectly pedicured toes--toes at the beach, toes relaxing on lounges, etc., etc.  well, this is maine and this is january and so i've decided to post the antithesis of these perfectly painted toes.  i've had these sox for about 30 years and they have been called into action on a frequent basis.  you can't see the bottoms, but the grips are little milk cans.  i got them at the totes outlet in kittery; my daughter got a pair as well (not cows).  dr. oz says warm feet can enhance the sleep experience.  i could have told him that 30 years ago as well, else why would i have bought them?  **** yesterday finally finished the immediate inside borders on the amish center diamond.  now i've only the outside 10" border and its corner squares to quilt.  this is going to be a bit tricker.  first, i have to baste on temporary borders, do some math, some marking and then i'll be able to start....but it won't be today.  any sewing today will be of purple strippie squares.
