Grape Love Mary Jane Slippers Originally uploaded by brokenhallelujah

One of my most popular designs of slippers is back in the shop - Grape Love mary janes have just been added. These are just my plain ol' mary jane slippers, but with an added crochet heart applique on the toe to make them extra special. I love making fun new color combinations of these types of slippers and they seem to sell quickly! Hopefully I'll get around to whipping up a few more pairs like this before school starts up again this fall. The ones pictured above fit a shoe size 6-9 and like all the rest of the marys are machine washable. I tried something a wee bit new by making the trip and strap in the heart accent color instead of the color of the body of the slipper and I've gotten some good feedback about it, but I'm always open to hear what new people think so don't be shy! And if you would love to see a pair of these in a certain color combo I'm always looking for new inspiration, so let me know!

Cloudy Skies Mary Jane Slippers Originally uploaded by brokenhallelujah

I've decided to try a little something new for the etsy store - 100% cotton mary janes. This is only the first pair of new eco-friendly mary janes I will have available in the shop within the next couple of days. I was quite pleased with my mary janes crocheted with acrylic yarn because they always kept my feet so warm and I hate having cold feet, but these won me over right away with how soft they feel against my skin. If these were pink, I don't think they'd be listed in the shop because I'd be far too tempted to keep them for myself. Plus the natural fiber is better from the environment. I also have some more cotton goodies up my sleeve, but for now I'm keeping them a secret.

New slippers listed in the store tonight. Snazzed up the original pattern with some ribbony goodness. It was time for something new anyway.

Is it just me, or does everyone (who sells online) hate when people don't pay right away? Or even close to right away - say, within 8 hours? I had a long awaited slipper sale this afternoon and still haven't received payment for it. I even checked paypal just to see if I missed the email somehow. But nope, still sitting here twiddling my thumbs until I can pack these slippers up to be sent out. I don't think it's greed - it's just that when I don't get payment quickly I get nervous that I won't be getting a payment at all. It's happened before and I'm sure it'll happen again. I was just really excited to see that pair sell since it was one of my favorites. 

Oh well. I hope everyone out there in blogland had a fun, relaxing, and warm summer weekend.
