You're Not Helping

I know these shoes aren't meant for me. But I'm positive they aren't going to make cross stitch cooler.

They will be available here, someday. Of course, you'll probably find them at a DSW near you in two years.

Nu Shooz

The night before we left Maine, I got Sissy and the dude to help me make cording so I could finish my mother's "Shoes" flatfold. Jersey was making fun of my cord maker (it is creaky). But I think it came out perfectly! 

Shoes by Hinzeit

Sorry I can't tell you about the fabric and fiber!

The overdyed threads I used were difficult to match, so I chose a fabric that had some of the colors but really featured the colors in the house.

Sorry about the crappy photos; I took them at night. My camera seriously does not like shooting in low light.

My BIL and his family are coming to Philly earlier than I expected, and I've got to clean this joint. And you know how I love to do that! 

Cute Shoes

Today in the grocery store a woman told me I had cute shoes. I tend to agree with her. These were an early Christmas gift. (Early! My mother is nuts. If we get out of this economic crisis, it's going to be my mother and Cindy McCain shopping our way out.)

I started stitching for the fair and square Christmas round, so I've got nothing to show. Well, I would if it would stop raining here so I could take some decent photos. If it's sunny tomorrow, I'll take enough photos for weeks of posts. Just in case.
