When I'm not writing and looking after the children, I like to make things. I am a serial crafter. I am also a shoe addict. I love shoes, I have far too many shoes but I always find myself needing more.
I love shoes that are a bit different, that stand out from the crowd, like Irregular Choice and Iron Fist but they can be quite expensive and as I have mobility problems, the heels are impossible for me to walk in. As a crafter I wasn't going to let lack of funds and my disability get in the way. I thought I'd make some!
I had a pair of green not-too-high heels that I bought in the sale and never wore. They are comfortable but they didn't really go with any of my clothes so they sat there, unloved in the back of my wardrobe. I raided my stash of Japanese fabrics, watched a few videos on Youtube and sat down with my glue, Exacto knife and sewing kit. And this is what I made!
I glued the fabric to the heels and cut around the edges with my Exacto knife to neaten it up. Then I made two bows with buttons at the centre and stitched them onto some shoe clips I bought on eBay. Ta dah! My own crazy custom shoes! I can't wait to wear them!

Angel's Shadow - Pinterest Board
Hi!
I've been busy making another Pinterest board for my forthcoming novel, Angel's Shadow. There are a few new characters and a few surprises! Take a look HERE...
I'm kind of addicted to Pinterest. I love how I can drool over my dream wardrobe of shoes and dresses, learn new crafts, tricks and tips and pick up great new recipes. I've found I don't need to buy magazines anymore because I can put my feet up, use the Pinterest app on my tablet and check out all the wonderful things my friends are sharing on their boards. It's also great for hearing about special offers and of course great new books to read from indie authors ;)
Anyway, no rest for the wicked. I'm back writing again, I'm playing around with idea I've had for a short story about a goth and a vampire, but of course there is a twist...
