Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

Emma Lea, my current shoe making guest from France, said that she first learned of me when she saw my “Satan Is Real” boots. She said she thought, “Wow, that woman is cool!” and she began following me online. And now she’s here in my shop!

I have three women boot/shoe makers in my shop right now. One woman is a shoe maker from France; she brought all her tools and I could tell she knew she was among friends when she opened up the case containing her awls and we all involuntarily gasped and OOOOOHED. My favorite thing I’ve heard so far is when she told us she’d brought the supplies for making hand wax so, “Later, we can have some fun!”

And she is not wrong. We are all super excited about it.

I almost finished the Karner Blue butterfly boots today, but now I have to head back to West Virginia to pick up my mother. She fell and broke her hip three weeks ago on a trip out there, and since she’s strong and healthy it’s time to bring her back home to Missouri. Holly will be here entering orders and packing boxes, and I’ll be back next week!

I found this photo of me demonstrating inseaming, and I look like I am explaining something very thoroughly!

I’ve been out of the shop for a couple of weeks and I’m relieved to report that I still know how to make boots. Also, I have company today. It’s a tiny, whiny, loud little tyrant disguised as a kitten.

Here’s a trailer for my upcoming interview with Steve Van Plew and the Leather Craft Community Podcast Show. He flew out to Guthrie for the interview and I enjoyed chatting with him!

I couldn’t post any pictures because I wanted it to be a surprise, but I made a pair of baby boots for my friend Carina’s little grandbaby. Now that the gift has been given, here’s a photo. Introducing: “Singin’ In The Kitchen.”

I inseamed the Karner Blue butterfly boots today. Boots are so pretty at this stage.
