Finished a pair of socks!

February 10, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Last year, for the first time ever, I finished knitting a pair of socks! They are beautiful, but sadly I misread the sizes in the pattern and they are a bit small. I can squeeze them on, but I’m thinking maybe I should give them away. It would probably have to be to a child […]

navy canvas shoes painted with white birds and trees

Hand painted shoes. I did these this afternoon with some $4 shoes I got yesterday. Such a bargain for some comfy looking shoes! It seemed like a good opportunity to try decorating them, since I’ve wanted to try decorating shoes for a while. I used acrylic water-resistant paint and will spray with some fabric water […]
