And they have been turned

kareinaThis evening was my first chance at working on my shoe project from the weekend. They had gotten pretty close to done this weekend--tonight I managed to finish sewing around the sole of the second shoe and then soaked them both so that I could turn them right side out.
Now I am sitting in the bathroom, with wet leather shoes on my feet, waiting for them to dry a bit. The soaking water turned really black from the leather dye in these, as did my fingers, which is why I am in the room with a tile floor. I don't want to stain the wood floors.
However, I won't have time to let them completely dry, since I am tired and should soon do yoga and go to sleep.
But they should be done enough to stitch the last seams, up the inside of ankles and over the points of the toes tomorrow at Frostheim crafts night. Perhaps I might even start the silk embroidery too, though I might wait to see if the Bergen University Museum replies to my email asking if they have better photos of the original.
