Summershoes

The Lilybird Chandelier embroidery is done and has been taken of the embroidery hoop. Now I have to finish the Gingham dress, and I have a feeling that the embroidery will suit the dress just fine. I will show you dress when it's done.

I have started a new embroidery project - one which I have been wanting to do for a long time. And now that summer is here, I think that the motives are very up to date. Tiny pairs of Epadrillos, which are going to be made in different colours and stripes, that's what I'm makíng.... I also have this project in mind, for my favourite kind of shoes to wear at summer.

I LOVE Flip-Flops....and in the book Broderi på den fede måde" by Helle Mogensen, you get the instructions on how to turn a normal pair into your very own and very personal Flip-Flops.

It's all about shoes at the moment.....

  2. Dear Ulla,

    what a sweet idea, the shoes are representing summer at their best and I'm looking foreward to see the embroidery and the FlipFlop when they are done.

    Every year I buy a new pair of FlipFlop in a nice colour (my favorite ones were light blue as they nearly matched everything, my yellow ones only matched my Rucksack : ) ) and when I wear them everybody knows it must be summer - because I'm always freezing...

    Made a new tunic and a summer dress for my little one - not finished yet but soon ; )

    Take care Nina

  3. Glæder mig godt nok til at se den kjole!!!!

    Skønne sandaler. Tja - hvad man ikke slev kan lave efterhånden - hvis man bare har tid. Synes somme tider jeg er ved at få stres af alt det jeg har lyst til. OG DET SKULLE være en HOBBY, som er afstressende......

  7. Thank you so much, Nicole. :)) I have just finished the second pair of espadrillos - it's so fun! And I know that I will embroider some more today - maybe in the garden. It's such a warm and sunny day here in Denmark.

    Dear Nina,

    Thank you so much. :)) I saw the espadrillos in a Japanese book a few years ago and loved the idea right away.

    I just bought Flip-Flops today - they are also my absolut favourite shoes at summer (and Birckenstocks). They sound great in light blue and yellow. I think we have similar taste in many things. :)

    I left you a little comment - beautiful things you made!!

    Take care too :))

    ...............

    Jeg er også spændt på at se kjolen færdig, Gitte - jeg håber, at broderiet vil tage sig fint ud.

    Du har helt ret med al den inspiration - men vi er nødt til at tage de ting, vi allerhelst har lyst til at lave, og så bare nyde resten. ;))

    ..............

    Mange tak og i lige måde, Karen - jeg finder altid noget smukt og spændende hos dig.

    Det er bare et super sjovt broderi at lave. Jeg tænker hele tiden: "lige en sko til..." ;))

    Også er rigtig dejlig sommerdag til dig - pyha, det er varmt! Men jeg klager ikke ;))

    Thanks a lot, oiyi :)) Those shoes were such a great part of my childhood...my mother used to wear them every summer. She had several ones in different patterns and colors.
    So when I saw them in a Japanese book years ago, I new that I had to make them some day.. :))

    ..................

    1000 tak, Wenche :)) Lige præcis - jeg har lige lavet et par stribede og har planer om nogen prikkede også...

    Jeg har endnu ikke besluttet hvad det skal bruges til. Måske en taske?

    Hav det godt... :))
    Sommerknus til dig

  8. Tak for inspirationen.
    Jeg har lige pakket stof og broderigarn, så jeg kan sidde under parasollen og broderer på min sommerferie i det græske.
    Jeg tror jeg forsøger mig med kopper istedet for sko.
    Jeg pusler med etablering af en "Broderiloge", sådan lidt after strik-in konceptet. Var det noget for dig?
