These boots had been sitting here about 2 years (give or take) waiting for me to do something to them.
That's an unfortunate artist quality. Bringing things home with the best of intentions.
Anyway, I started these 2 days ago as a pick me up. Because living with depression sucks, and sometimes so does life, and I needed a little bit of random happiness. I like little things like this that catch other people off guard and cause these random unexpected moments of happy energy when they notice them. These are not yet done, but I made some more progress last night. About halfway there, I think. Not for sale. Just cause I'm cooler than you. 😎😂

Started a little gift to myself today between work and work. Still quite a bit to go. These are boots. And they were white. And I'm really looking forward to seeing them finished and getting to wear them. 💙💛
