Paige’s new shoes

Paige is in Georgia for five weeks at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In addition to the regular classes she’s taking, she’s also making a pair of gold, stitch-down chukkas with my friend Marcell.

Emelie finishing her boots

Emelie is finishing the heels on her boots. We were a little worried we wouldn’t have time to finish them since we took a day off and went to the lake over the fourth of July. But she’ll have a completed pair of boots to take home!

Morgan makes gloves

My daughter Morgan has started a blog and her first post is about working in the shop with me. Since she’s a great writer and really funny, I suggest you follow her.

Soles

Emelie and I laid the soles on our boots today and stitched and pegged them. Tomorrow we’ll build the heels. They’re almost finished!

Designing starts with colors

These are the colors I’ve chosen for an upcoming pair of boots. At this point I don’t have a design or a client but I have the colors!
