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.
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.

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.
