It is the perfect Mary Jane slipper

I do love it.  Don’t you?  This morning, while talking to my mom on the headset and in between ordering her a book online, I finished the slipper. I took the idea I found on the craft site and added the felt circles and buttons.  I ended up using velcro for the strap instead of [...]

I found the link to the pattern

After a little googling I was able to find the link to the pattern I used.  Now, I did make some modifications.  So, if you want to try to make these out of felt, let me know and I will tell you what I changed about the pattern.  Happing sewing!
Find the pattern here.

Ah Ha!

Look at this.  I just found these.  This would have looked so cute on the slippers for Grace.  Maybe I will make some of these and add them.  These would be too cute.  I had already thought of using a button for the center of the flower, but not circles too.

Mary Jane…I think you’ve got it

I have been in search of the perfect Mary Jane slipper shoe for Grace.  It has been a long journey and I’m not sure that this is it.  But I think it’s the closest I am going to find.  This pattern is actually for making the slippers out of old blue jeans.  Which is a [...]

Wool felt it is!

Today I am so excited.  I went to get a haircut this morning at the beauty school.  It is very scary to do this, but with prices at $4 a cut, I thought I should try it.  We are trying to do everything we can to cut back these days.  Well, when I left the [...]

The saga of the shoes…

Yesterday and today I’ve had the touch of a stomach virus.  I didn’t feel like doing anything yesterday when it hit except lay on the couch.  Today I’ve felt pretty normal, but there have been several times I’ve just felt like laying down.  So, I laid on the couch and knitted!  And I have finished the first [...]

These slippers are huge

I know my last post was that I had started the slippers…which I have.  I’m going to post a picture of the one I’m working on.  I think it’s actually coming along faster than I thought.  But I want to post a picture because I am worried these slippers are going to fit Rob!  And [...]

I have started the slippers

I just want to let you know that I have started the slippers.  You may not see them for a while.  There is a lot of knitting involved.  A lot.  I’ll post more soon, but for now I have to get back to my shoes.

THE yarn

This is THE yarn that I will be using for Grace’s slippers.  Isn’t it the cutest?

The face of a pink bear

Remember how I promised you Grace’s teddy bear….well, just as I sat down tonight to download my pictures for the blog, Sam had a blowout.  You know, the kind that takes two people to change and requires a bath afterward.  It was one of those.  After bathing him and getting his clothes in the washer, I [...]
