Working on a pair of green suede Derby boots for someone- lined with tan pigskin. Feel like I need to keep wiping them off, the green is so gorgeous. Hate to get dust or cat hairs on them! Maybe their new owner will invest in a suede brush... and maybe not everyone lives in a farmhouse... 🤣💚 .. : .. #handsewnshoes #handmadeshoes #homemadeshoes #greenshoes #minimalistshoes #barefootshoes #greensuedeshoes #leatherwork

Our small flock of chickens has increased by 14 #wildturkeys the last few days... #icecoveredsnow

Barefoot shoe dancin’ @krokaexpeditions #handmadeshoes

Oatmeal sweet potato biscuits with cinnamon raisin 😋 cuz... snowstorm! And as if they need #morebutter ... @organicvalley #pasturebutter And no sweetener besides sweet potatoes and raisins! Inspired by @thingsahobbitsees ❤️😋

More pics from #shoemaking with @krokaexpeditions ! Such a great day. Such creative people!!

I was honored to teach a #shoemakingworkshop to these amazing teens @krokaexpeditions yesterday!! 12 students and 3 teacher/staff all made (and most completed) a pair of #handmadeshoes in one long, shoemaking extravaganza, all day!! Love how they personalized them with color combos, eyelets, stamps and thread. One vegan made some #canvasshoes that turned out great! Really so impressed, and just loved being with these humans. Next week they’re headed to the Arctic Circle to camp/ski/showshoe/live for the Winter! @buccasmith #shoemakinginayurt

Working on a pattern for Derby Mocs in men’s size 14! 🍀 Turned out pretty good but won’t know til it’s tried on. I do like this new Olive leather... so soft and pliable, feels like Elkskin. #sewinginthecar #patternmaking #handmadeshoes #greenshoes

Working out some new patterns and teaching techniques today. Was so in love with my masking tape shoe I drew a few different designs. Probably will get a little confusing once I start cutting them up 😉🤣 but STILL couldn’t help it!! 🌼 Thinking of teaching the teenage group to make their own patterns, too... instead of just low boots. But not sure if we’ll have enough time... #overlyambitious #yeswehaveabandsawinourkitchen #toomanydesigns #wentalittlecrazy #handmade

Milo was our #1 most attentive student in last nights’ Meatball class... and very willing to be taste-tester! 😋🤣🙃 #woodstovecooking

Rose ghillies in oxblood leather, fully lined. Taupe suede topsole and #barefoot #naturalrubber soling. Heavenly to wear, hope W.B. (customer) loves them!! (She replied that they fit perfect and she will order boots soon). Yay! My favorite style I think, and leather, actually. So soft and buttery. 🌷 Hope everyone made it thru the cold blast. *Luckily* (?) I had a nasty flu, slept for 40 hours and missed the whole thing! Now just remembering how to eat after 5 days... so far kidney beans and spinach sounds good, and salads (not very wintery food, I know) but nothing else. Not even bacon... 😱 Ideas? 🌷 #handmadeshoes #barefootshoes #barefootshoesforwomen #minimalistshoes #ilovemyjob #homemade #handmade

New leather for unlined Derby Moc Boots and Sneakers! I’m so excited. The bottom 3, black, roughman brown and wine I already had, so adding (clockwise from middle) caramel oil tan, gray grizzly, canyon Arizona, chocolate Dakota and olive Arizona (my favorite!!). You’ll be seeing boots coming out in these soon especially from my 2 upcoming classes! 💕 Be well 💕 Link to Etsy shop in bio. New colors not listed there yet but message me if you want one!

Making a few dozen of my 4 Thieves Protection Spritzers to go to @shopjeansgreens in NY! Order from them, not me 🤪 You’ll get it faster! They are an amazing bunch of hardworking women! . My husband and I will use a full bottle to fight off a cold/flu (when I have it on hand!) and it works great. Spray with eyes closed towards your face and breathe deeply! You inhale all the antimicrobial goodness deep in your lungs. ❤️❤️❤️ . Also, letting them infuse a little sunlight cuz we all could use more of that! ☀️ 🔅💛 . My spritzers are made with hydrosols, essential oils, distilled water and flower essences, love and empowering, strengthening thoughts! 💪🏼💃🏻🕺🏽👯‍♀️ . #birchmoonherbals #herbalhealing #4thieves #coldandfluseason #loveinabottle #sunlightinfused

I was lucky to make shoes with the sweet @carlanneskye - look what a great job she did on her first pair ever! . #shoeteacher #handmadeshoes #shoemakingworkshop #shoemakingschool #shoemakingclass #farmshoeshandmade #barefootshoes

Working on a pair of black leather #barefootsneakers going out to California! Getting orders finished before I teach the #arctictomanhattan group at @krokaexpeditions how to make #minimalistshoes and boots! . Any new orders will be done in 4-6 weeks! Thanks 🙏🏼 💕🧡❤️

So proud. . . To clarify, the CAR is proud of it’s hard work! . . #carplow #snowsportplow #nissanleaf #nissanleafplow #electricplow #electriccar #electriccarsarethefuture

Ok, seriously, I love my original #nissanleaf . That is a lot of power to plow uphill, after doing 2 other driveways, ours 1/4-mile long plus. Any questions about power or torque of electric cars, bring em on. We have 4 in our household (!) but this one has just made farm vehicle status. . Also so grateful for my husband who plows for 8 hours some storms. So glad he has heat and music while he’s plowing! ❤️🥶⛄️ . #ilovemyleaf . #snowsportplow #carplow #nissanusa

How to tell if it’s a #snowday. Actually, cats do this every day. But it was fun to say...

A sure-fire way to tell if the stove is on... 😊🔥 #woodcooking #petsofinstagram

At last... (#shoemaker joke) 👣 Rose Ghillies In oxblood leather lined with pigskin. Topsole is taupe suede and bottom sole is natural crepe rubber soling. These feel like walking on marshmallows. My favorite shoe. So simple and so comfortable, and #barefoot . #minimalistshoes #homemadeshoes #farmshoeshandmade #handsewn #handmadeshoes #ghillies

#moss zoomed in, then out with each photo. Wow. I heard some mosses are hundreds of years old and grow super slow! If you know anything more or corrections I’d love to know in the comments. Thanks 🌿💚💚💚🌱
