a year winding down and up at the same time

As the year winds down my shoe count has risen a lot: 117 total

With a few day to rush, I think I'll hit 120 (crossing fingers). Pretty amazing concidering April was an off month with no shoes produced.

Of course with the end of one project starts a new:

'50 Pairs from 50 Shops'

The invites are starting to fly out for my next project scheduled to being in Jan. 2008.

So far as planned starting the first or second full week of Jan. I'll begin to display and promote one etsy shop a week which has donated or sold me yarn for this project. Links and pictures to be included for your browsing enjoyment.

By the year's end I'm hoping to accomplish my goal of creating shoes from yarn supplied by 50 different independent etsy shops.

If interested or for more detail please leave a comment or a convo on etsy.

My shop is http://mysweetiepeas.etsy.com

Happy New Year Everyone.

A few pictures of my shoes made from One Sheep Hill hand dyed yarn and my first 'item' made from yarn I hand spun myself. The roving is from Sweet Pea Fibers.

Count Down to 100!

Today marked my 12th and 11th pair away from '100 pairs in a year' project.

Each pair (ranging from tiny to size 11 mens) has been crocheted by little old me over the course of this year being in late Jan.

I wasn't really planning on shooting for 100 this year it just sort of happened and now with less than a month to go and 10 pairs to finish it should be relatively entertaining to see how thing plan out.

My goal now is to finish all 10 pairs using as many vendors from etsy as possible to complete the task. If interested please visit my shop at http://mysweetiepeas.etsy.com and leave a convo or post to this blog post.

Have a great night.
