These Boots Weren't Made For Walking.....

Baby girl needed something to keep her feet warm. 
Jess and I found some lovely wool fabric at the Jacksonville Quilt Fest. Then she found a shoe pattern she liked here. 

We had to make some modifications to the pattern. The calf was not quite wide enough and Jess asked me to leave the lining out of the foot area and attach it in the shaft area. It made a huge difference on how they fit on Bella Boo.
That black leather tab is hiding the elastic I added at the top.
Matt even got in on the design by requesting leather soles for this pair. This is recycled leather from an old jacket of his. I love recycling!
The pair below was the first set we made and we were working out the kinks.

They are usable but a bit more clunky.
I almost wore the wool out trying to get them right....
This girl seems to be growing so quickly. Before I know it, she will need boots for walking!
My girls, I love them so.
Yes, I got this girl some jeggings. It just seemed right with the boots. 
Now I need to get a couple more light-weight boots done and an all leather pair done, and a fur lined pair, oh and a fur on the outside pair and......

Leather Shoes

While still in Germany, dreaming of what being a gramma would be like, I bought these shoes. I hoped Jess and Micah would like them. They were such a popular style but I didn't know any new walkers who were using them. They are amazing. It's hard to tell but Micah almost wore these out, before he out grew them. 
He wore them everywhere. 
I had some leather left over from a few projects and brow-beaten urged on by Jess decided to make a pair.
He wore them out and then he lost one.
This is the second pair.
For some reason he likes to carry his shoes when he is not wearing them. One day he carried a pair all over the back yard. 
He also tried to put my shoes away one day. 
He put them in his gramps closet.
Gramps may have thought it was a plot initiated by me to take over his closet. 
I love seeing people I love wearing things I've made them.
Look at all that chubbiness.
