Make Do and Mend

 

Something is wrong,
Cinderella isn’t it!
She tries and tries
but the shoe doesn’t fit.

She explains to the prince:
It’s this awful heat,
my ankles are puffy
and I have swollen feet.

Featured: My sister's shoes were hit 
with some acid so I made these little 
patches to give them new life.

What a fun way to hide the spot on the shoes. Now she's got one of a kind designer shoes.

The patches are cute, Amalia. That's a good way to improvise. Like that poem too. Cinderella is one of my favorite Disney movies. Try to stay cool the rest of the Summer days.
