Handmade Trove: Crochet Barefoot Sandals and Blue Toenail Polish

I still blame high school for stunting my growth. I haven't grown since 7th grade and my feet are the same size as my mom's, who's a good 4 inches taller than me.

Cathy's mom taught her to knit and crochet when she was just a teen. As she grew older, she learned to quilt, cook and craft anything under the sun.
