How To Repair The Shoes Your Dog Chews

I love animals, especially dogs and cats. So, as an animal lover, I am well adjusted to dealing with what comes with owning them. My cat sleeps on my clean clothes and pukes up fur balls that I always manage to step in when I'm half asleep. And my dog, a golden retriever, sheds a fur coat every day. Luckily for me, this is the worst of what they do. My dog has only ever chewed one pair of brand new heels when he was a pup and has no interest in shoes whatsoever now. 

I know it can be stressful and infuriating when you find a chewed up pair of shoes and a cute dog that has no idea that those were mommy's favorite pair. BUT don't lose complete hope! Some shoes can be repaired with a little glue and creativity. Hell, you might like them even better. 

My aunts poodle decided my cream colored flats looked delicious one afternoon, so I rummaged through my craft basket and kept my glass half full. Here is an idea of what you can do, ladies.

As you can see, she got the back of the shoe pretty good. The other shoe was spared. I found some scrap lace and cut an even amount to put on the back of each shoe.

I love E-6000 and use it for many projects if sewing isn't an option. It does need a bit of time to dry, which I don't mind because it gives me the option to adjust pieces if I need to.

Finished project! Very simple and easy to do. 

So rummage through your craft area or head to your local craft store. Lace, rhinestones, and little flowers are a few items you can use to repair and revamp your shoes. Plus, now they are unique and even more you!

Let Me Reintroduce Myself...

It's important to enjoy the little things in life. Most of the time, those little things are what keep you comfortable or sane or just going. Tea is one of my important little things. I'm not British; I'm from Southeastern Ohio, but I enjoy a good cup of tea more than once a day. I even read articles on how and why the Brits drink their tea. I especially enjoy a cuppa on stressful days because I'm forced to slow down, maybe just for 2 seconds, to take a sip of warming tea and a deep breath. 

My name is Christina Nicole Lass and I'll be 26 on March 8th (AHHH!). Most everyone call me Christy, the closest call me C. It took a good amount of time, and trial and error, to figure myself out. I've always been just a bit odd. Not creepy odd or irrational odd or annoying odd...just a tad bit odd. Odd in a good way, I think. I grew up watching old shows with my grandmother (Gam) and I still enjoy watching them over reality T.V. today. I'm fascinated by anything vintage and I often feel I was born in the wrong era. Frankly, I wish men still wore top hats and women wore dresses and red lipstick all the time. Oh well, I make due and hang out in antique stores. I am going to be and do what makes me happy. I'll just continuously pretend I live 100 to 50 years ago. 

There are obviously many more things about me, but we'll get to that as we go. ;)

Now, onto what I would like to focus on in this blog. I want to be able to talk about being a lady in the 21st century. I want to express the importance of being different and unique. If I get questions I'll do my best to answer/demonstrate them. If nothing else I want this blog to showcase what I enjoy and why I enjoy them because knowing what makes you happy is important. 

Have a spectacular day.
