Biggest Pair Yet!

Jeremy's brother has been bothering me for weeks to make him a pair of Puddles and Bugs shoes, so I delivered!  This giant pair of shoes are a size 11! I thought they would be easier to make than the tiny baby shoes, but NOPE! It took me two hours to make these skis! I had to create a pattern using a trace of his giant cowboy boot, and I think it took about four yards of fabric (a little exaggeration, of course) to make them!  I couldn't resist monogramming "Uncle Timmy" on the heel of each shoe and OF COURSE I had to do a little advertising and put a Puddles and Bugs tag in each shoe. :) Jeremy was gracious enough to model the shoes for a picture!

New Girls Vintage Hankie Shoes

Introducing the Girl's Vintage Hankie Collection!


All of the shoes in this collection are made with vintage handerchiefs purchased at local antique stores. Because of the inability to find more hankies with the exact same print, these shoes are not available to be made in other sizes. All shoes in this collection are size 0-6 months. Prices are $17 due to higher cost of materials.

Click on the link for vintage hankie shoes under the pages tab on the right. I hope you like them!

New Business Logo

I am so excited to say that Meredith at M Originals has created a new logo for Puddles and Bugs! I absolutely LOVE her work and would like to recommend her to anyone who may be interested in finding a new logo for their business.  She can also do business cards and note cards and many other services as well!  I have made fabric tags for my shoes and onesies with the logo she created and I love them! Thanks, Meredith! Please visit her blog for more information on what M Originals can do for you!

Gold Mine!

My very sweet friend Courtney and her sweet sister Brittany gave me a kabillion fabric swatches to use however I choose!  What a blessing!  I cannot wait to get started making shoes out of these awesome fabrics. You would not believe the cute swatches and the endless possibilities I have with this sweet gift.  Courtney and Brittany... all in one day you recycled :) and made a friend extremely excited!  You girls are the best! Thanks a million!  One more thing... any new addition to the family, Courtney and Brittany, is going to be one well dressed kiddo! :)
