What they looked like after:

The first week  back at work, was really hectic so its been nice to find the time to put my feet up when i get in.  I have been spending all day surrounded by children and loud noise its nice to get a little time to my self, so i have been sorting RubyRaeLove out, its going great. But also....
I have been eyeing these lovely moccasins from Minnitonka for a while now, but i always worry about buying shoes online. So I ordered the material ( authentic woven latin american tribal cloth)  with the idea in mind to add it to the front of my moccasins. The other day when walking home from work i got the shoes caked in mud, so it was perfect timing when i got the material through to jazz them up. It only took me an hour last night from start to finish, i wore them to work today and they made me smile every time i looked at them. 
I love the pattern on the front reminds me of a pair I had as a child, i think i might make my next pair in a more neutral colour. 
I hope you all have a lovely weekend?
