DIY Moccasins

I’ve been sick the majority of 2026 thus far. It is very discouraging. I have been to work while sick and after the last chest cold, I got feeling better but still had a nagging cough. After 15 days of coughing, I took my stubborn self to urgent care. They did a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. No pneumonia, but bronchitis. They put me on an antibiotic. Well, Tuesday night I was having a coughing fit and felt a pop in my ribcage. This followed with intense burning pain. Been there, done that; cracked ribs/cartilage and torn rib muscles. That puts a damper on shooting the bow for a bit. Getting so I can move a bit, but need to be careful still. Decided I needed to do something, so I made a pair of moccasins for my daughter. Used buckskin and a pattern I got at Lure of the North. These just need some holes punched and some lacing and they will be complete. I will be making a pair for myself shortly that I would like to use for stalking with the stick bow. I will also make a pair for the little one.
