Time is money

Sometimes the Time really becomes money. Every morning and every evening me or my husband are "working a taxi drivers" for our kids. We spend 2-3 hours in the car every day. We decided to make lemonade out of lemons - learn German while driving. Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsch :)

Now For all Lithuanian Etsy members shipping time became very expensive. Almost all of us ships their crafts by Lithuanian Post. Now our parcels are trapped in a systems upgrade, we write a lot of "sorry mails" for delays, make a refunds and hope that soon Post will work properly.

Well I have problems only with overseas shipping, parcels to Europe flies fast:) It pushed me to implement my old plan – to make a new window to Europe for my creations. Here is a begining of it, Woolen Clogs became Wolle Clogs:

Willkommen in meinen Wolle Clogs Shop!

Sheephair Boots

The feet are warm, and the sheep are intact:)
I've felted new wool boots:

Felted Snowboots

Felted wool shoes for real Winter

Rubber soles for felted boots

Traditional felted boots (valenki) can be worn in the frosty winter without any additional soles on the clean white snow. Usually they are thick and extremly warm.

In our wet Winters this way wouldn't be very good. So I started to make felted clogs and booties with the rubber soles for outdoors wearing. I was looking for best solutions and found out, that soles for felted boots should have a high edges. Such edges are necessary for two reasons:
1. wool felt is not so stable like for example a leather or sheepskin, so it should be put in a deeper sole in order not to lose the shape;
2. felted boots should be stitched to the soles, glueing is not enough as felt can peel off while wearing together with the soles and glue.

I do not put any insoles, but shoemaker, who adds soles to my felted boots, puts necessary underlays between the soles and the felted shoe. So the feet touches only natural wool felt, like in felted house clogs. But shoes also they can be worn outside thanks to a high, water and cold resistant soles.

You can find rubber soles and other shoemaking materials for yor own projects in my Etsy shop with a section of supplies for shoemaking

Mix & match

Wool felted clogs = cozy house shoes

Felt clogs + woolen leg warmers = super warm house shoes

Felt clogs + woolen leg warmers + rubber soles = felted winter boots

All items are made of organic eco friendly wool and yarn, which were not chemically treated, undyed. Real pleasure to the feet! Every item is made by hands (except of a rubber soles, I left this job for shoemakers).


So now - the feet are warm, and the sheep are intact:)
