Hello, dreamers! I'm still figuring out how I want to structure this blog. Until now I have just been posting finished projects in the "pages" section. I had a thought that writing regular posts on in-progress projects and recent creations would make it more fun for me as a blogger and you as readers. So, welcome to the first of the weekly updates in which I share all of the pretty and fun things I am working on or have recently finished!
Lately I have been having a great time making these miniature Cinderella-style slippers. I have a vintage mold that I inherited from my Grandmother. I crochet around it in with beautiful silver and gold thread, then add fabric stiffener to create a lasting piece. Each shoe is about 3.75'' long and 2.75'' tall.
This is the original pattern that came with the mold. I developed the more solid pattern above.
The sandals are also from a pattern. These shoes would make great holiday ornaments, party favors, or gift box toppers! I wish I could magically make them grow bigger so I could wear them!
And here are the gold versions of each style. I'm planning on getting more creative with the styles and colors, so stay tuned!
I will probably keep making shoes in new colors and styles until I run out of ideas or get tired of them. Right now I am working on a pair of ruby slippers inspired by the Wizard of Oz! They will be up on the blog by next Wednesday. Also, if anyone has any particular styles they would like to see, comment and let me know!
Until then, keep imagining!
