Just thought I’d drop a quick note and wish everyone a happy holiday, whether that’s a belated Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, the Winter Solstice, or one of the many other winter holidays going on during this time of year. Hope you have some time to hang out with your families and stay warm (unless you’re south of the equator, in which case, stay cool)!
We’re in the process of moving cross-country from Virginia to Colorado, so I probably won’t have any new shoes up for awhile. I still have some learning to do as the stitching on the moccasins ripped out right before we left the house a few weeks ago. On the bright side, hopefully I’ll have some more information on repairing shoes in the spring. I will probably be making a pair of boots soon as it snowed during our house-hunting trip and my old Vibram Bormio boots have seen better days. The leather between the toes has worn out so they get wet/snowy very quickly which doesn’t make for toasty toes by any means. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find the exact point of failure of the moccasins before I attempt making something more snow-proof.
Thanks for sticking with me during this first year of the blog, and I’m hoping to do more posts in 2016!
