I'm not the only crafty-creative person in this household. Far from it. Other Half has a degree in textiles, after all, and his latest project is customising shoes. These are his Day of the Dead shoes (aren't they fab?):

Speaking of shoes and craftiness, my crafty friend Lilith is going to run a 5k race later this year to raise money for cancer research. If you want to sponsor her, she'd be a very happy bunny. Lilith has even arranged a prize draw which any knitter (or friend of a knitter) should check out.
