Arts, Crafts and Shoe Porn



I heart shoes. I'd rather buy shoes than clothes, mostly becasue I know they'll always fit regardless of the cheeseburger or ice cream that I've eaten. My shoes are loyal :-) I love a good wedge just like the next girl, but I just read an article "50 Chunky Sandals to Wear this Spring" on ivillage.com and some of the shoes were a little......disturbing~







Ewww.....really? Maybe I'm not trendy enough to appreciate some of these styles and if that's the case, I prefer to opt out of trendiness, if that's even a word.


Over the last few weeks I've felt the urge to be CRAFTY. People put things on etsy and my trip to canton, and I think, "oh, I can make that". Der, der, der. So my mission last week was to make a fabric rose. I had a cotton blend material, I had instructions from 3 different sources so surelyl one would be successful, right? I started working on one Thursday....it didn't look like a rose, more like a cinammon roll. Friday, I tried again, with lots of glue, it kinda resembled a rose. While at Canton, I saw several variations, so I tried another style....it would be fine if it was 1995. So...I've given up my need to be crafty. Luckily I was using scrap material and didn't invest much more than my time in attempting to perfect the fabric rose. So you etsy sellers...keep on making your stuff, I can't compete.
