Labor Day

Labor Day weekend already! Wow, that means September and the beginning of my crazy craft fair schedule! I've been working nonstop (okay, nonstop while Kaya is sleeping or otherwise occupied) on getting shoes ready for the fairs.

One of the tough things is that it's still August and I need to be making winter and Christmas shoes! It seems nuts! Every December Mike and I throw a holiday party. Some years it's big, some years it's a small dinner party, every year I think about it for months. A few years ago we imposed a rule that I'm not to talk about the holiday party until August. It was a compromise, Mike thinks it should be November, I think it should be June! ...and now, here I find myself sewing Christmas shoes in August, and feeling like I'm already behind!

As part of this, I just added new fabrics to Kaya's Kloset custom page. They won't be listed on Etsy until after Sept 21st (the last Sept fair), but you can get a sneak peak there... or here! Here are three of my favorites:


Kaya had a pair of these Rudolph shoes last year that she wore from Dec 1st through Dec 31st! I just loved them!
