QUINCE my new fairy shoes....

Being an indecisive type of fairy shoemaker Ive had a hard time choosing new shoes! Finally I decided on QUINCE from the new collection. I made these with the remnants of the first ever skin that I bought way back in the mists of time... well, 2002 actually! Just enough left to make a rag tag BIRCH bag and these beauties. Made in deepest chocolate brown leather to go with my new woodzie chocolate and green wardrobe theme.

I wore them for the first time this morning to hang the washing out.... I may sleep in them, they feel so lovely and comfy. Quite airy too. The best bit is that Ive got new striped stockings... a wonderful sludgey green and black narrow stripe, can you imagine how wonderful they will look with these. No need to... I will take pictures when I start wearing them!

And here is PUCK with what I think I will call the IMP toe shape (it was going to be PIXIE). As you can see, MOST unusual and maybe not every fairies cup of tea, but I rather like them. They do look naughty, just like I said! This toe works well with this style but as I pointed out I'm not sure it would work with others. I may offer this as bespoke soon. Wonder if I should put a note saying non pidgeon toed walkers only on them?????

Ive spent a long morning making bread, cakes and buns! I shall spend the early afternoon knitting, the evening working. Im off most of next week (visitors flying in to Fairysteps land) so posts may be thin on the ground!
