Starting A New Business

Can I Make Fancy Leather Boots With 5 Kids and No Time?!

I’m atrocious at making shoes. I’ve only ever made a couple pairs which each had major issues. Also, I have five kids, an untrained puppy, and am starting a new business. So I thought, why not make a pair of extremely intricate, vintage inspired leather boots by hand using advanced tools and techniques I’ve never tried before. What could go wrong?

No One Is Born Talented

🪡👞 Whenever I post photos and videos of projects that I have made online, I will get the enthusiastic and kind comments that I have a talent or I'm gifted in some way. While I certainly appreciate the sentiment behind these comments, I actually don't think I'm particularly gifted. And while I may have what some perceive to be a talent, to me the word talent implies something that you were magically granted at birth. But the skills that I have learned to do and that I am still learning to do came with a lot of hard work. They have come through many, many hours of struggle and devotion and failure, and continuing to try and continuing to be disillusioned by the things that I make and then trying to do better the next time. And shoemaking is no exception. #shoemaking #handmadeshoes #vintage

I Made Downton Abbey-Inspired Shoes!

That time I made Downton Abbey inspired footwear - from an idea to finished, wearable shoes! 😍 As a mom of five, I'm often asked how I make time for my art and what I put out into the world. The truth is that motherhood has, if anything, fuelled my creative flame and distilled my goals.

This was a crazy idea. I made my husband a pair of hand crafted oxford shoes, using traditional materials and techniques, including hand-welting! 👞 #leathershoes #shoemaking #shoes #shoeslover #fashionshoes #customshoes #mensshoes #menshoes #vintageshoes #classicshoes #historicalshoes #sewing #vintagesewing #historicalsewing #bootmaking #historicalboots #vintageboots #handmadeboots #handmadeshoes Was It Worth It, Historical Shoes, Vintage Boots, How To Make Shoes, Classic Shoes, Vintage Shoes, Custom Shoes
