Michele Made Me

One birdie's attempt to figure things out. Oh, and crafts.

I Can Touch The Sky.

Have you ever had footwear that made you feel feminine yet powerful, like a ballerina maybe, or even Wonder Woman? No. Me neither. Not until now.

This past weekend, I crocheted my very first pair of slippers from a couple balls of thrifted cotton yarn. And guess what? When I slip them on, not only do I feel the estrogen and sheer might coursing through my veins, I can fly like a bird.
 
You don’t believe me do you? That’s alright. I’d be skeptical in your shoes as well. But in this new pair of beauties, dagnabbit look at me! I’m SuperMich!!!

See what I mean?
Thank you Lo, my sweet man, for capturing me (or at least part of me – I was just too quick I guess…) on camera levitating, hovering and then flying off in my comfy new crocheted super-slippers. Now my lovely internet friends won’t think me completely mad.
Will you?
Note: This turkish slipper pattern comes from Simple Crochet by Erika Knight published by Clarkson Potter © 2003. This book is filled with scrumptious yet accessible patterns that even I can crochet! These slippers are portrayed on the book’s cover.

  3. You never stop to amaze me Michele and you always make me smile. Lo made some awesome photographs of his flying slippers’ girl! They would all make great book covers!

  4. Oh Michele, they are fabulous!!
    And I know every single word of description you offered is true! They ARE feminine and make you feel gracious – just as walking on clouds 😉

  11. Haha! I made those same slippers from the same book. LOVE them! I just need the weather to get MUCH cooler around here because they are very warm.

  14. "not only do I feel the estrogen and sheer might coursing through my veins, I can fly like a bird." ….best sentence I have read in ages!
