Star Wars Shoes !

 Anyone that knows me knows there are a few things that I can just get obsessive about and two of them are DIY and Star Wars. After looking around online at random Star Wars stuff I decided I wanted some sneakers. The prices were generally out of my budget. So as I generally do I decided to take a whack at making my own Star Wars sneakers. 

My first attempt I decided on "Droid" Slip on shoes

.

C-3PO & R2-D2

For my next pair I decided on a pair of slip on sneakers and a more complicated design 

Left Shoe=Dark Side & Right Shoe=The Good Guys

The finished product 

A friend whos getting married next year suggested that we wear shoes inspired by my first set of Star Wars shoes. These were my test run shoes. Like a 3D sketch. 

Next I though about others ways to do a C-3PO shoe possibly for my friends wedding. These were the result of that idea.

Fun With Aunty Leni !

My boyfriend has two nieces and they both LOVE to do arts and crafts with me. So I have to think of new crafts and fun things for them to do. (You can only draw pictures so many times before it gets old) Strolling through the kids section in various stores I found a few plain pieces and decided I found my next craft for them. 

 First I found this dress for the oldest, Arielle, seeing as she wants to be an artist someday I figure she should look the part. lol

The next project I did with both girls and their cousin. I bought plain black skirts and paint one detail for each of them myself then told them to go WILD.

Wonder Woman Part II....

One day 

while I was babysitting  my boyfriends nieces the youngest one, Aliyna, decided she wanted to play dress up. Well unlike most people my age I have a bag of dress up stuff, old costumes from halloween and things I used when I worked in retail during the Fall months. She was instanly obsessed with my old wonder woman costume I made myself a couple years ago. So we safety pinned and tie the top and the belt on her and she insisted on wearing my boots (a size 8, shes 4 years old) 

Mini Wonder Woman 

check the boots!

almost wardrobe malfunction...

handy tie work

The she took the Cleopatra dress I made and declared herself QUEEN OF THE SUPERHEROS !

So after a day of being Wonder Woman and wearing my costume to Bob Evans (including the boots) I told her if she was good i'd make her her very own Wonder Woman costume. 

Everything except the crown...

TaaDaaa! Mini Wonder Woman !

The she continued her "superhero training"

she was also hyped on cotton candy....
