These are my unicorn shoes. You have no idea how much I love being able to write that sentence.
They are not quite this bright in person. The picture at Zazzle is closer, but they are a tiny shade more pink than purple. It’s very cloudy outside today, so I had some trouble finding a sunny spot to take this picture.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m going to tell you that these are a size 11. They sent me the (extremely) wrong size by mistake. However, I think we’ll get this straightened out. They still make me smile.
I’m working on another beginner-friendly post about how I edit my photos in Photoshop Lightroom and another one about lenses, but it’s taking me some time. Thanks for being patient!

V was one of those challenging letters (in the More to Love: A to Z series) I was talking about this week. I’m sure after I post this, someone will chime in with something brilliant that I forgot. (Vellum? Violins?) In the meantime… I only have one thing to share today, but it’s a good one.
V is for Velvet
Velvet is hands-down my favorite material. Drapes, couches, dresses. I have not done a lot of sewing with velvet (and I’m sure there are some challenges with that), but it’s only because velvet can be hard to find. I’m always hesitant to buy velvet online because you can’t feel it first and the drape and nap can very so much. However, when I do find it in the stores, it seems to be the standard colors of black, red, and forest green. Does anyone have a secret velvet resource up their sleeve?
In the meantime, I decided to satisfy my craving with some velvet ribbon. I ordered a swatch card from M&J Trimming (which I posted about here), and spent some time pouring over their color selection. It was a little bit of a splurge because of their order minimums, but I love having these ribbons at my fingertips.
Ok, spill it! What V’s did I miss?
