Eyeballs

Posted on November 1, 2019 by customboots

Shoutout to that time I inlaid an eyeball on a boot top and was scolded by a follower for invoking and glorifying the Illuminati.

My day

Posted on October 31, 2019 by customboots

How is my day going, you ask?

Very Good: A musician friend called and sang me a new song he’s written but no one else has heard yet!

Stressful: The mail guy said he’d come back and pick up the packages I hadn’t packed yet, so I frantically rushed around and packed them in a big hurry. Even though I wasn’t quite ready when he returned he generously waited for me to print the labels and stick them on.

Bad: In my rush, I put the wrong product in one of the boxes.

Good: I went to the post office and they found the mis-packed box cheerfully and immediately, and I was able to correct the mistake.

Annoying: In the three block drive to the post office, both going and coming back, I ended up behind someone going 5mph and randomly stopping for no reason. Of course, that sort of thing is much more bothersome on the way to the post office, when I’m worried I won’t get there in time or they won’t be able to find the box.

Humbling: I took the scissors to a pair of boots I made that don’t fit and cut the foot off completely in preparation for starting over, but I’ll still use the boot tops. My old mentor Jay Griffith always told me that he was going to box up my mistakes and give them to me for Christmas, so I already have my Christmas present for this year!

Almost finished

I’ve finished two pairs of boots; I’ll leave them on the trees over the weekend to let them think about leaving me and going to their new homes.

Winning!

Posted on September 18, 2019 by customboots

This is what’s known as a win/win situation. Mother thinks it’s really cool to get to work on a boot for someone special, and I think I get to take a break while someone else is working.
