She lives?! Ha, sorry, guys.. April is by far my busiest month with finishing off all of my pharmacy rotations and having the last few rounds of exams. Since I actually have a WEEKEND without anything planned other than a bit of studying to get ahead for the week of finals, I also found a bit of time for crafting! And since I haven’t yet said a word about the new episodes of Doctor Who (which started March 30), you know it had to be Doctor Who related. These sneakers are something I have had pinned on Pinterest forever, and as soon as the weather was warm enough for blue plimsolls to be in stores, you better believe I immediately bought a pair. It took me probably around 4-5 hours to complete these, which included all of the planning for how I wanted to go about it. It was pretty relaxing to just paint these shoes with the warm breeze coming in the screen door after a long day of lectures — although I do have to say, I definitely can’t sit on the floor for hours like I used to. Ouch. Getting old! 😉
Before we get into the how-to with these shoes.. I have to ask. For you Whovians out there, how do you like the new episodes so far? Do you like Clara as a companion? I’m not going to say much – spoilers – but I will say this: I’m not entirely sure if it’s because I always take a while to warm up to a companion after the last one leaves, but so far, I don’t really like Clara. I loved her in Asylum of the Daleks, and I quite liked her in the Christmas special, as well. Maybe I’m just not used to the Ponds not being there, but these episodes just sort of seem.. off, with her as a character. She just doesn’t quite have that confidence she had in the first few times we saw her. Ah, well.. I’m sure it’ll get better – it always does.
