returning to work

I had the garage sale which went very well and sold another thing or two online to finance a little vacation that included, by chance, an event called 'Bishop Mule Days' in Bishop, California.  Mules (the animals, not the shoes) are more interesting than one might expect and while I seemed to be one of the few people there without a big belly or a big hat I enjoyed myself thoroughly and dare say I might want a mule if I lived in that sort of place.
But back to shoemaking.  My friend enjoyed her gift and I am now working on a similar pair just to have them around.  Photos will be forthcoming. And I have another completely different idea brewing that involves small heads.  But that will be a while in the making.

  1. I didn't realize that you had a Blog. I just went through and saw all the shoes you made. I think it's neat that you have something that you like to do and can use your creativity. I remember when you were making doll house size furniture. I am sure that that experience helps in this new hobby.

  2. Sherry, these shoes are amazing and beautiful. My favorite so far is Cirque. The carved spiral heels on that other one- wow! It will be hard to keep people from flocking and asking - no, BEGGING you to make them a pair they can wear. Your craftmanship, patience and attention to detail is such an inspiration.
