Julip: March 2012
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Hi, Miss Ruby! I've named all my tap shoes after my favourite (female) tap dancers. This one's for Ruby Keeler. Best known for the Busby Berkeley. Spectacular, 42nd Street. And here are some I prepared earlier. Scuse the dodgy photoshop job hiding all the toys/mess in the background. This is the base model of my range, and will look so pretty in all the leathers I've got. especially the silver sparkly faux crocodile. Or my old favourite. Monday, March 19, 2012. The idea is that ...

Julip: February 2012

Sunday, February 5, 2012. The weather. Holy moley. What a day. It was stinking hot inside (we only have air-con in one room. and not the one we were all in), the windows started to leak with all the rain that was pelting down, and my poor Fudgey man had to barbecue in the deluge. What a trooper. My mum's family are sooo awesome, they were all completely calm and happy despite the weather dramas, everyone pitched in and helped out and I think they all had a good time. Had me. I had admired this bag. Elise...

Julip: December 2011

Thursday, December 8, 2011. It's taken nearly two and a half years, but at last my Ellie. Shoes have gone from this. Most excited to have finally finished them. I think I made just about every mistake and broke every rule getting the soles and heels on these, due to a combination of being out of practise, laziness and lack of necessary equipment/patience. In some ways I'm very glad I did - it has been a while since I've soled any shoes so it was a great refresher course in what NOT to do. I am a shoemake...

Sunday, September 25, 2011. There was a park. Lovely family and friends. Lots of yummy things to eat. A special turtle cake to match a special present. A second turtle cake for a cousin who was seven the next day. And a very happy icing smeared birthday girl. Happy first birthday gorgeous Beanie baby, we love you xx. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Despite that, what's been happening? Along with some crocheted hats (pattern found here. An owl stuffed toy is in progress. A first excursion to the zoo. And o...

Julip: July 2012
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Please excuse the yawning. I've been a nervous wreck with worry and am sooo sleep deprived. Thankfully, for the moment, apart from a cold, Bean is much better. Fudge is home, day care attendance has resumed, and I am s-l-o-w-l-y catching up on sleep. And somehow, in amongst it all, I've managed to finish another three pairs of shoes! I still can't quite understand how. I did it, but I did. I have proof. Three pairs worth of shoes type proof. Miss Jane's try-on Miss Eleanors.

Julip: Busy making
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2015/06/busy-making.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. Hello, it's been a while. I've been very busy during my bloggy silence. busy making shoes, busy being a mum, busy making life run in some sort of order, and busy making (and now bringing up) baby number two. A brand new Chickpea. Bean and Chickpea : day of birth. The Bean is besotted with her little sister and is a great helper. Most of the time. Chickpea at one month. In the meantime, if you want to have a look. Once Chickpea is a bit older I'm hoping to get back into the shoemakin...

Saturday, September 7, 2013. Another pair finished, and another happy customer! Miss Julie's shoes cut out. Miss Julie was in the very first class I joined at my tap school. she is an extremely lovely lady, and I was very pleased to finally. Be able to make some shoes for her. she's been waiting for a very long time! The year after I started tap was the year I did my shoemaking course, and the rest, as they say, is history. They are also sewn down the middle to stop the taps marking the other shoe.

Julip: August 2013
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. Samples, samples and more samples. So I finally got these samples. And then started on and finished another lot. And now I almost. Have samples in a size range for two different styles of last! That's nine samples out of twelve. and I've got two more pairs half sewn/cut out. It's feels great to be almost finished with the samples. it's been a much longer process than I'd hoped it would be. I've also become quite the budding mechanic. my sander wasn't working properly (the rea...

Julip: November 2012

Monday, November 19, 2012. Guess I lost the bloggy mojo there for a bit. hoping to get it back and post a little more regularly now that life has settled down a notch - my tap concert (and related craziness) is over for another year. Not sure whether I'm more relieved or sad! There were five of us (yes, five. Wearing my tap shoes in the concert. in the last four months I finished three more pairs. Introducing. Miss Jane's 'Miss Eleanor' shoes. Miss Chris' 'Miss Ann' shoes. A little demo by Miss Chris.
