After seeing Fox's latest post, I just had to dust off my totally out-of-character shoe purchase from a couple of years ago. These are without a doubt, the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I own, but I just can't part with them! I wore them to school one time, and the kids thought they were wonderful... too bad they kill my feet! Yes, my skin really is that pale... I think I need to spend a little time in the sun! Anyone else out there have some funky shoes to show off?
On the tatting front, I just had to start another Spinning Wheel Glass Mat. I can't help myself... I LOVE this pattern! The thread is one I've been holding in my stash for the perfect project. What could be more perfect than Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel? The thread is Bell Peppers from Sherry Pence aka LadyShuttleMaker. In my humble opinion, HDT is the best thread to use, and I have plenty to play with!
your shoes are so interesting! i know the feeling of wearing horrible shoes, oh boy! but i have shoes that i kept until they grew all moldy and crack before i throw them out...
ReplyDeletethe HDT's pretty. i'm sure you'll have another lovely wheel doily. :)
Love the shoes! I'm waayy too conservative to ever buy something like that, but I think they look really cool!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE funky shoes! (this is Jo, not Dave! LOL)
ReplyDeleteKeep your pale skin, Diane. I had to have a very deep skin biopsy right on the joint of one of my toes this fall and it wasn't fun. The sun is good for plants, but not skin :)
Your shoes are cool! Too bad they hurt so bad. Sherry's "Bell Peppers" HDT is really cute! It's fun, fresh and summery-springy! I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like the shoes! That Bell Peppers always tempts me when I go on a thread spree. Now that I know how it looks tatted I think I'll get some now! Delicious.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE THOSE SHOES! They are some of my favorites.....and one of the few pairs that fit my preggo feet.
ReplyDeleteGet some insoles perhaps? They are too cute to stay in the closet.
Love the shoes Diane and I must agree that HDT is the best thread to use for the spinning wheel doily.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shoes.I have a pair of fully beaded shoes but i can only wear it for only a few minutes cos of the pain. Oh another Spinning Wheel? The shuttles looks cute.
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried to reply to everyone's comments, but gmail wouldn't let me... error #767, whatever that is!
ReplyDeleteI'll try again later!
The shoes are adorable! I am at a point in my life where comfort tends to win out over looks (sounds like my age is showing-lol). I do have a few pairs of cute uncomfortable shoes left that I wear when I go somewhere for a short period of time. My favorite shoes are Sketchers-they are cute and comfy:)

I'm delurking to say hi. Those are cute shoes, but life's too short to have uncomfortable feet. And when you talk about the spinning wheels all I can think of is that you're making a mat to set a spinning wheel on. It's my automatic reaction.
ReplyDeleteCool shoes! Have you tried getting them wet and wearing them until they dry? That usually works for me. Yep, I am that pale too... though I go out in the sun, I wear 60 sunblock to keep from getting burned!
