Sound of a felt slipper on the carpet

its getting cold, my old ugg boots have disintegrated 
my feet are cold and my hand knitted socks have got holely soles beyond darning

our local ugg boot making company has gone bust in the face of chinese imports 
and the US vs Oz patent battle lost
so in the face of that I've begun making my own
using local natural coloured wool sliver from Bilby Yarns

wet felted at home
stitched
appliquéd
sole still to come
another boot to make as I have two feet ...

but it is very snugg
