Its my lovely God daughter's first birthday this week and I wanted to make her something special. Even though she is not yet 1yr old she has so many shoes it would make any girl jealous (her mum is the shoe Queen!). I had designed these little shoes for her and made a small rubber stamp with the design, I then enlarged it to make my pattern for the felt shoes. This piece is done on a canvas board which measures 10x12" and there is lots of painting, stamping and distressing in the background. I had made the felt some weeks back in the good weather and it was the perfect colour for the shoes. I was lucky enough to spy a beautiful pair of pink sparkly shoes in London recently which will match this picture perfectly (they will be too big but she wont mind lol) I'll take a piccie of them and the matching card tomorrow. The light is not great in these photos as its brighter irl. Hope she (and her mum) like it. xx

Your god-daughter is a very lucky girl to have these special shoes. They are beautiful, your hours of hard work has paid off, they are gorgeous.

What a beauiful gift- I am always impressed by work for children which is not traditionally cute. I'm sure it will become a treasure for her for life!

This is absolutely gorgeous Carrie, what a beautiful treasure, and so you to have made the felt too! love it.

Oh, so cute these shoes are! And it is a very nice gift as she will treasure when she grows older. A friend of me use to say "life is to short to wear ugly shoes" And you can`t start to early, can you?

What a lovely idea, and how beautiful!
These are fantastic sis - I'm so glad I had a look. This would be a great business venture for first/significant birthdays - you could try to market in London!
