I just felt a warm fuzzie by my feet.
It's Ron!
My feet remind me of how there are two types of shoes that i love: barely there, and boots. Lately, my heart's been called to make my own shoes. Because the barely there style just isn't too easy to find. I had these purple flats from the thrift store, that were gorgeous and intricate with an eyelets design. I loved them so much. I wore them down so that they literally broke in two. I kept the in tacked shoe as a memory and for inspiration. I knew it back then, i wanted to make another pair just like it someday. The shoes i used to wear everyday in my latter highschool years were pretty much these: moccasins, black walmart slippers and white City Sneaks. My moccs to this day have still held up, but the slippers and the sneaks broke down.
Today though.....i bought them again! I am so happy! My black slippers used as shoes are reunited with momma sarah! As well as my little laced buddies.
AND i've been looking for another pair of barely there's to replace my red fabric flats, so now, i can cut those up and make a pattern out of them. So excited. Leather barely there's. Yeah!!
