My husband Erik gave me these slippers several years ago.   They were quite plain, and I would regularly threaten to add sequins.  A year or so I actually did add sequins, which were sewn on top of a felted wool base.  Finally, the thread holding the sequins on just didn’t hold anymore, and they started falling off.  So I decided to create a new design, this time without sequins.  I am very pleased with the result.
