It is nearly three am...

And this is my first time on the computer today since yesterday (Well, okay, I did read my f'list before posting this, but for all intents and purposes, you know).

Why, you may ask?

Because I was busy doing non-computer stuff, namely: sewing up a pair of the moccasin patterns my aide cut out for me. For most people, this would probably be an hour project, but I keep dropping needles, and stuff, and have to use a grabber thingy just like this one to pick them up again. Also, I was kinda watching tv at the same time.

Anyway, I'm now almost completely finished with one pair -- I have to sew a tie onto one, and paint non-skid patterns on the bottoms. And then I really will have a pair of warm, cozy moccs I can wear out in public with minimum embarrassment. In other words, they actually look vaguely shoe like, and less like kiddie pajama feet.

Also (and this is the best bit): I can actually put them on one-handed, using that same grabber thingy, all by myself! This means can keep them as seperate pieces, instead of sewing them onto the bottoms of sweatpants. This means the two pair I already have patterns for will probably get me through the whole winter, and I can keep my feet warm without turning my house into a sauna.

This is very yayful.

So -- any suggestions on what sort of pattern I should put on the soles?

I crash in bed, now.

Well, I already told you I thought a kitty footprint pattern would be fun. After all, it works for kitties! :)

Kitty footprints is a good idea. Or snowflakes.

Does the needle-grabber have a magnet on the end?

Actually, it's an everything grabber, and yes it does.

The biggest problem is that the needles fall onto a sorta stained, darkish blue burbur carpet, and I have to find them before I can pick them up. This is not quite as hard as finding them in a haystack, but I'd say it runs a close second.

Actually, I was thinking of a diamond pattern for the bottoms, so I could be like that Paul Simon song. ;-) But I may just go with random zig-zags and squiggles -- after all, my first priority is surefootedness, my second priority is ease of design, and cuteness is only third priority.

I'd have to agree with kitty footprints, or possibly pointy dragon ones. Moons and stars might be fun as well.

hmmm.... more ideas.

And... LOL! finally made out your icon captions. How do you have a perfect icon for everything?

Because I spend far too much time both on LJ and on playing with graphics. :-D
