Hi moonbeam, glad to hear from you! :D Wow, you do have a big family, I am surprised you have the time to sew, LOL. I am glad you decided to join us, you will find a great bunch of people willing to help, encourage and share knowledge with you. Feel free to post pictures, we all love to oooh and aaah over each others projects. I seen a pattern on the net a while back for slippers, but can't remember where. Maybe you could google it and find some that way, or someone may post a link here for you too :D
