One of the things I&#8217;ve been working on is trying to come up with a pair of all-purpose shoes to wear to Japan&#8211;some that will go with both pants and skirts and can go for miles and miles without crippling me. I tried on a bunch of &#8220;comfort&#8221; shoes, but none of them were particularly comfortable. I finally ended up ordering some shoes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\">Zappos<\/a>.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/new danskos.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"new danskos.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/new danskos-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>My very first pair of Danskos! I&#8217;m still unsure of them. They aren&#8217;t THAT comfy, really, and they&#8217;re kind of heavy. I think I will definitely trip in them. Oh well.<br \/>\nI finally managed to complete my very first cross stitch project!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/superbuzzy crossstitch.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"superbuzzy crossstitch.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/superbuzzy crossstitch-thumb.JPG\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>I have no idea if I did it correctly, but it was pretty fun. This is from the cross stitch kits we have on <a href=\"http:\/\/superbuzzy.com\">superbuzzy<\/a>. They are great little kits, fully equipped with everything you need to get started&#8211;a needle, embroidery thread, the canvas tape, and the patterns.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a closeup of a couple of the designs:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/superbuzzy xstitch cu.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"superbuzzy xstitch cu.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/superbuzzy xstitch cu-thumb.JPG\" width=\"260\" height=\"195\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnd speaking of <a href=\"http:\/\/superbuzzy.com\">superbuzzy<\/a>, we just got in a few new fabrics. Some have French text on them and cute little designs. Here&#8217;s an example:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/parisien red2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"parisien red2.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/parisien red2-thumb.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"226\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>This one comes in three colorways.<br \/>\nAlso, I don&#8217;t mean to be a tease, but rumor has it some hedgehogs are coming in! Now, the shop will remain open while <a href=\"http:\/\/buzzville.typepad.com\/buzzville\/\">Kelly<\/a> and I are in Japan (November 2-12), but nothing will ship until the week of November 13th.<br \/>\nOkay then, it&#8217;s time for bed!
