Books
Wow! I have all of my pre-ordered books signed, packed, and ready to ship. It was a big job and I couldn’t have done it without Dale, my wonderful helper.
June newsletter
Here’s a link to my newsletter for June. My newsletter is often a composite of pictures and information I’ve posted in other places throughout the month, but this one contains news that hasn’t been published anywhere yet!
It’s a Boot Life
On “It’s a Boot Life” this month, I talk about choosing the correct last length.
Gift
Look at the wonderful gift I received from my cousin Madison Cole and his family! It’s an exquisitely-made wooden mallet; I think it’s too beautiful to use.
Paige
I’m spending time today with my little barefoot shoemaker. ❤
Feathers and Wings
The inlaid feathers are on the boot fronts, and the outstretched, stitched wings are on the boot backs.
Feathers
This is what the front of the boots will look like. The back panels are totally different.
Whoops
Oh no! I’ve been out of the shop so long that I skived the wrong side! Ha, not really. These boot tops are “rough out” (fuzzy side up) so I had to skive on the right side.
Back to work
Me: I’m going to TRY to work on boots today in the shop. Paige: It’s been so long, are you sure you remember how? This is such a very valid point I had no argument.
Paige
Someone sent Paige a bunch of vintage wooden lasts for ladies shoes. Here she is, taking inventory of her newfound riches.
