About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

New Shoes.. and Boots...Whoop!

Oh my life - I have struggled with extra wide feet 🦶🦶 all my life and more so after pregnancy (all those years ago!) I couldn't possibly buy online unless I'd tried them on before so I have been quite stuck the past few years. ☹️ I also use orthotics which doesn't help.

Well anyway a while back I grabbed a handful of old magazines (Peoples Friend) from our local Scout stall and chanced upon an advert for wide fit shoes.

Their shop is located in Harrow, North London over an hour's drive away!

We finally went there last month and although I came back with a pair of comfy "school" shoes the whole experience of the travel and the shop itself was rather distressing... 😬👞👞😬

The shoe box has the maker's web address and with a little searching I found a local shop in Banstead (5 minutes away!!!) that stocked the same make!!!

A shout out to Robert Carder Shoes.

So I went along today and the lady there was really helpful and friendly and I came away with a pair of boots and the total possibility of getting shoes to fit my "duck" 🦆 feet 🦶🦶 in future. Whoop! Whoop!😁👢👢🙃
