Today is a really difficult day.Not only have I been feeling crummy (sickness wise) but I remembered that today a year ago was the last time a certain person was friends with me. After May 15, 2011, any act of kindness was a big joke; just enough kindness to keep me quiet until we graduated. I knew he was faking. Honesty is #1, y'all.
I guess I miss the person he use to be. That's what makes me sad. I'm not sad about what happened. If they hadn't I wouldn't be the person I am now, but I wish things would have been handled better. Like actually sitting down and talking to me about what's wrong rather than ignoring me. I'm sad that I lost the best person I knew... Even if it was years before this.
But I keep telling myself that I'm better off.

The Ruby Slippers Project: Painting the Shoes Red
Ok, well I painted my shoes red!
I decided that instead of glueing the sequins straight on the shoes, I'm going to make an overlay (like the originals) and sew the sequins on. After painting them, the texture isn't what I wanted, so I think the overlay is the best option! Lots of work! But it'll be worth it.
I thought I'd show you this cool blue print that shows how the shoe is constructed!

Project Ruby Slippers:The Shoes
For the last couple of weeks I have been wanting to make some replica ruby slippers. Ya know... Some really legit ones. Like these....
So, after quite a bit of research, I found what kind of shoes I needed. 2-2.5 inch high heel with a rather thick heel (according to today's standards), rounded pointy toe... And the front part had to be high enough that I didn't have toe cleavage.
I originally found some shoes online that would work, but they were a little more expensive than I wanted. Well today at church, I saw one of the sisters had these shoes on and I realized that I had them.... Whats even better is that I realized that they were PRETTY DARN CLOSE to the ones I was looking at online! They have a bow that I'll take off and the heel is about 3.5 inches.... But it's close enough for me! Plus they weren't worn out at all because I only wore them once!
Here are the beauties!
Time to get started!
