My name is Tula Pink and I am a shoe addict. I may qualify for state funded medical treatment. Anywhoo I love shoes and I love me so it only seems appropriate that the two should become one. I first heard about Zazzle from Heather Ross’ blog. Check out her shoes, super cute. This site allows you to upload your own artwork and they custom make the shoes. You get to pick the binding color, grommet color etc… It’s totally brilliant.

This pair was made from my Plume line for my mom who suffers from the same shoe affliction. I have been making my mom’s presents since birth, literally (think about it, it makes sense). Now that I’m past the acceptable point of popsicle sticks and white glue I’ve had to start getting really creative. So… shoes! Now she wants a pair of shoes for every fabric line I have ever made. I swear, I try to do something nice and all I get is more work. At least I don’t have to do anything painful.These were my Mom’s mother’s day present. Love you mom!

  26. Now what mother doesn’t deserve a fun, fabulous pair of kicks like that!?! You’re right — brilliant!

  27. Your mom is seriously lucky that she’s a size smaller then me or she may very well have ended up shoeless in Minneapolis… :)
