When I made this blog, I spent days trying to think of a name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A perfect pair fits well. Because, obviously the husband and I are a perfect pair. But another reason was because I wanted to focus more on the crafty things I love so much, and one thing I've done a bit of lately is custom shoes (which I think is excellent.) So, a perfect pair. And, my more recent shoes:</div>

These were for my cousin, who wanted a couple of album covers of her favorite band. To paint shoes I mix acrylic craft paint with a fabric paint medium. They should hold up pretty well, but I still don't wear my painted shoes when it's rainy or snowing. (They are really cool.)</div>

These were for another cousin. She wanted custom wedding shoes. I should have taken a picture before I sent them to her, but eventually they looked like the bottom picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were the first shoes I decorated without paint. I sewed the lace on, and glued the ribbon.</div>

The last pair I did was for my youngest sister. I realized that it was super rude of me to not have made her any yet, so they were her Christmas gift. These were really easy, I just tea stained the shoes, and replaced the laces with lace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh. I did do custom soles and they gave me a bit of trouble. I am not sure I'd do them again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So yes. That is my talent of making custom shoes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There will probably be more.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">When we moved into our apartment 6 months ago, I was so excited about its glorious high ceilings. When we finally got settled in, it was time to decorate - Halloween, Christmas, etc.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, once Christmas came down, we realized how empty this wall is. We have some little decorations we could have used, but nothing on a large enough scale to fill the wall to the extent I wanted, and nothing that would really go well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I settled on a project, waited for Joann coupons to come in the mail (since it was kind of a pricey project), and got to work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photos make it look like the canvases didn't help much with the empty space issue, but in real life I promise they look amazing and they fill the space perfectly.</div>

I so love how they turned out, and how they break up the space of the boring white wall.</div>
