BUSTED !

We are the parents of 3 special girls (adults now). They in turn added 3 wonderful son-in-laws to the family tree.
Each of the girls (they will always be our GIRLS) is gifted in their own unique way. This is not necessarily a reflection of their parents -  just a lucky mix of the gene pool.

Today's blog centres on our middle daughter who has a wonderful creative streak and a fierce determination to go with it. Out of necessity she produces amazing clothing for herself and family (she is a gorgeous 6 ft tall and 32 inch jean length just doesn't cut it). Some projects turn out so well she duplicates and customizes them for gifts -- sometimes even making a little cash on the side.
Her latest endeavor became extremely popular as she and associates sought the perfect personal gift for Christmas.



Felted slippers. They are warm and cozy. Light and non slip.



An insole from the desired shoe size is inserted before final fitting.
Then a design is added using a rubber paint to prevent slipping.




They can be duplicated in various sizes and colors.
I neglected to include these in yesterdays blog without the artists consent ----- plus some special things I like to keep to myself.




Here they are for the world to view.
Did I mention how light and packable they are?
They will definitely be the first thing in the suitcase for Switzerland next fall.

As always life is busy..... lots to see and explore.
Glad we have no schedule.
Every day is an adventure.
