New Shoes and No Stand

I made my second pair of practice shoes for Dasia last night.  I know the more I practice, the better I will get, and the sooner I will be able to offer some for sale.  I made a simple pair of sandals with leather straps and wooden heels.  



After posting a few pictures on FB, someone asked if she could stand unassisted.   Hmmm.  Hadn't even considered she would be able to do so.  I went to check.

By golly, she can stand unassisted!  She is very stable and will stand there until removed.

This morning, I wanted to see if she could stand in her own house.  Yep.
"I don't need no silly stand."

She was so excited at all the things she could do on her own.  She first gave her husband a little back rub.  He was very appreciative.

A great song started playing on the radio, and Dasia got another idea.
"May I have this dance?"  (Dasia)
Harold, feeling obligated to say yes after his massage, steps closer and takes his wife's hand.

They dance in silence.  It's been a great day so far.  A nice breakfast with her hubby and now dancing in the middle of the afternoon.  She loves these moments that she and Harold get to share.

    Wow, Vanessa, those shoes look really good. I've been struggling with shoes myself, so I know this is no simple task. But you did a really good job.

      April - Thanks! Yes, shoes can be a struggle. I'm just going to keep at it until I get good at making them.

    Your creations for Dasia are a delight to see. Her wardrobe pieces are amazing and now your are her couturier cobbler! These shoes look great and they are indeed stylish for her too. Keep up the good work, I love everything I'm seeing.

      Brini - Hi! Thanks so much. We women know it's a pain to have an extensive wardrobe and no shoes to complement our clothes. There just isn't much out there by way of shoes, so I had to break down and start making some.

      Roxanne - Thanks! Definitely a bonus that she can stand, because I always have problems getting the stand to properly fit around her waist without messing up her clothes.

      Georgia Girl - Thanks. I promise to get back to Nikki soon. I just have to get my deck redone, so all my dolly time right now has to bring in some funds for the project.

    Great shoes, good for many occasions.
    I made mine more fancy so can't really use it for many outifts. You had a perfect idea to use leather!
