My Georgia Peach and More Shoes

 Sunday is the one day of the week I practice my crocheting or knitting.  This past Sunday I crocheted Ellowyne a peach strapless dress.  I'm really happy with the progress I'm making.  Just two months ago I couldn't crochet an outfit if my life depended on it.

Now I need to make her some shoes.  The task list is never ending. 


This is another pair of shoes I made for Dasia.   They close on the sides with velcro.


Today is the day that I list Dasia shoes in my Etsy store.  I'm headed over there now.

  2. Lizette is beautiful and her dress is nicely done.

    I was in your shop earlier today and carted a couple of things, but removed them based on how much money I have been spending when I am not supposed to be spending. If they are still there in August, I will make the purchase then.

    1. DBG - Thanks. Chances are the items will be there. If there is something you wanted that isn't, send me a message. It might still be available.

  3. I hadn't realized that you were so new to crocheting outfits - that makes it doubly impressive that everything looks so good!

    1. jSarie - Yes, crocheting and knitting were the bane of my existence for a long time. I had the desire but just couldn't do it. A couple months ago I attended a meetup with crocheters and knitters and they helped to make it click for me.

  6. Vanessa, I really admire you for being disciplined enough to put time aside for learning crochet and knitting! I have patience for a lot of things but those two skills are not among them. You are coming along really nicely with those crocheted items and the shoes look really good as well.

    1. april - Thanks! I completely understand. It took me a long time to make the commitment to learn. I had the same viewpoint as you. I could have gone to my grave not learning it, but I'm glad I figured it out.

  9. Great job on the crochet dress. It's really cute! You picked up the skill quite rapidly. Congrats! I wonder - do you think you could make shoes for my CI guys? :-)

    1. Cindi - Thanks. I next want to get better at making my own crochet patterns. So far none of the ones I've used turn out right, so I end up adapting them. I need to be more diligent at making a gauge.

    2. Cindi - I already responded about the CI shoes on another post..... I think I said, since I don't have a CI guy it would be difficult to make shoes. I mentioned something about buying just a pair of feet, but now I remember that CI dolls don't have removeable feet like some of the others.

  10. Loving the dress you made for Ellowyne. You have definitely come a long way. It seems you can master anything if you put your mind to it.

    1. Fiona - Thanks. I may crochet a little jacket to go with the dress. Dasia wants a pair of shoes for almost every outfit. She's such a diva. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
