I didn't blog yesterday and I feel bad about it but I've been doing ok so far so a little slip and I will forgive myself. I was felting yesterday and I have posted a pic of the baby slippers that I made. I also made a pair of ballet slips for a one year old girl but I haven't finished them yet.

I'm pretty happy with the finished product but I haven't tried them on the baby yet. I just quickly make the pattern which was based on an adult pair so they may need some adjustment. It is much quicker to make these though.

The ballet slippers were a whole other thing. I had to figure out how to make a one piece strap and shoe. I also had to make sure I didn't f&%* it up by putting the strap on the same side each shoe. That is the kind of thing I do...

I also made some felt so I could put 3D flowers on the strap. I haven't done this before either so the whole thing is a learning process. I will take a pic of them when finished. I really like this experimental learning thing but sometimes it doesn't work out and you just have to suck it up and drive on. Once you realize that not everything works out the first time, then it is a lot easier to be creative and try different things. In the long run, you get better at design and you gain confidence in yourself and your abilities.
