I embroidered the second panel in record time, here they are top to tail, don't they look awesome? They are quite heavy and plush, I ironed them to keep them a bit more streamlined, which felt a bit naughty, I'm sure you're not meant to iron embroidery.

Stitching the uppers makes me feel so happy, it's like the best jigsaw puzzle coming together to make a whole. It's one thing to draw a crappy sketch and imagine what it will look like, but to get to this stage, grinning from ear to ear and doing a happy dance, is such a buzz.
Today I'll get the lining and zips in, get the stiffeners made, make some minor adjustments to the last shape and attach the insoles which I made ages ago. Might have time to last them before school pickup.
More soon!

Those are RAD! I just love seeing your shoe designs. Seriously, I don't know anyone who makes shoes, and so artistically too! And finally your blog is accepting comments. :)
I hear you on the buzz of creation bit, creating something keeps me alive...it's so fulfilling.
They're truly amazing! You have such awesome style.
Ladies!
Thanks for the praise, I love these boots as much as you do.
I had no idea that the comments weren't working, here I was thinking that nobody had anything to say!
The boots were lasted yesterday, and today I am working on some heels.
More to come!
