Hello everybody,

The crocheted sandals or footwear projects that I made recently are my Valentines gifts to my Classmate/ HS Batchmate '73/BFF-best friends forever/our neighbor before and to my four daughters.

To Elena C. L.

I especially made this for her as my gratitude for helping me in my hardship years before. In the years 1987-1990 hubby was jobless, I was the only one making ends meet as a Photographer. My BFF, Elena gave me maternity dresses when I was pregnant with my 5th, 6th and 7th kids. Then, when ever my daughters and son's birthday came she baked the birthday Cakes for them. I lend money to her, too and many more help I can't count anymore. I am truly grateful to her, as in. That's why when I made the sample sandals for me, I already think I should make one for her.

When I bought the sole at the store, they sell it by the dozens not by piece. So, I have many sole in different sizes. I also thought that my four dughters feet looks good on this crocheted sandal, thus, I made for them, also.
