am I having a baby? no. are they for maggie? no. they are just because I had to have them. the most delicate, tiny, beautiful and meticulously made baby shoes ever. from catarina m.
stalk her etsy. get your own little works of art to gaze at wistfully. but be wary, if you sew, her workmanship is humbling.
more photos of her amazing work here.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
quel talent!!! c’est magnifique et encore je ne sais si aucun mot ne peux traduire autant de beauté. C’est très rafiné. Bravo, wonderfull, gorgeous…
If anybody out there thinks Hilary has gone off the deep end you might want to reserve judgement until you’ve held a pair of Catarina’s baby shoes in your hands. Put them on baby feet and expect to be smitten.
C’est juste, je viens de relire, mon anglais n’est pas terrible. Mais, je comprends cet achat, moi aussi, il m’arrive d’acheter un accessoire pour enfant, quand c’est craquant…
Those are darling and perfect. Great pictures.
oh, they’re lovely. i’m so glad there’s a baby in my tummy that might just get blessed with a pair of these–my excuse!
Well, now I need a pair of those sweetest things ever! Even though all my babies are too old (sadly), hmmm, might make me think about a 4th!
They are indeed stunning!
Beautiful – There is something about tiny baby stuff that gets me every time.
oh jeepers- this is how someone can get in trouble and find themself pregnant all because of shoes. kidding…I really am.

Carol – I can’t agree more! My womb lurched when I saw these!! I go back and forth on whether to have kids (kinda missing that all-important partner too…) but how can one NOT when there are such darling things to dress them up in?
I’ve lusted after her shoes for a long time – they really are just perfectly aadorable.
