Sometimes too much stress can be a good thing...

Since Kyle has been born I have been required to do a great many things that cause me to have severe anxiety attacks. You know, really difficult things like taking phone calls from complete strangers (I sound sarcastic but this is something I struggle immensely with). One of my coping mechanisms that I have come up with over the past few years is to make something with my hands; sewing or scrap booking or drawing for example. Needless to say I have completed several projects over the last few months just to keep my sanity slightly under check. These are my latest creations, little shoes for Kyle! They are made with wool felt innards, cotton duck, corduroy and dark brown upholstery outers. The monkey and puppy faces are cotton and felt respectably and the details are hand embroidered. I've already gotten several compliments and terms of disbelief when people find out I made them.
