Paisley of the Week! Nostalgic Slippers

I used to have some slippers very like these beauties that I found on Buckle.  My dog ate them (yes really) and I've never found any like them since.  Alas, Buckle is out of my size so I have to keep looking. 

Not Following

So, I have an Excel chart of people to whom I've sent submissions and licensing inquiries.  Listed on the chart is are dates that I ought to have followed up with them.  As of yet, I've not followed up with anyone.  The reason for this is that everytime I think about calling a stranger on the phone I
1. feel like I might puke.
2. Have only a vague idea of what I would even say and this would consist of many Ums, Uhs, You knows and  "Hi, my name is..." before probably hanging up on them.

I think I have Telephobia.

So this week I've been catching up on some mending.  I won't bore you with pictures of it.  If you want to be bored, you can go read my tutorial about sock darning which I still say is a useful topic albeit dull one.   And, I've launched four different Christmas paper packs in my Etsy Shop, changed my background on Twitter, this blog and Etsy to a Holiday Festive version of my Candy Dish Paisley design.

While you ponder all of that, please enjoy this drawing of a fancy shoe from my sketchbook.
