Anna popped in on her way to dance class and gave me a pair of shoes she had made for me as a birthday present (my birthday was in November, but I wasn't in a hurry). They're turnshoes, hand sewn with linen thread, and have the typical rounded toes of the 16th century. My other shoes, which she also made, are more suited to the 13th and early 14th century and it's so nice to have appropriate shoes for this period too.

Oh, and another thing: I have my specially made supportive soles in them.

Those are fantastic & so well made. I love round edges, always have since I discovered Henry Moore 30 years ago :) They must've taken her weeks to make, I'm sure they'll be well loved!

It takes her about a week to make medieval shoes, but she had to work with the pattern because of the soles and make trial versions in fleted wool.

It's better today definitely. Maja kept waking up in the night so I'm very tired, but outside the sun is shining and you can actually see that the snow is melting because of the little puddles with water and slush.

Hi Eva!~*

I can't believe it only takes her a week, it'd take me like months hehe!!~ In fact if I made them, they'd like like shoes for curious George. Does she create her own patterns too?

I love those first little puddles of water from melting snow..they can be very magical, especially when you're a child.

Is Maja sick? I hope you two have had a warm & snuggly nap today :)

No, she's not sick, she had some gas, that was all.
