The idea for Twinkle Toes came about while trying to find a pair of dress socks, while out of town on vacation, for my then 2 year old daughter. Trying to find a pair of fancy dress socks led me on a frustrating mall exploration for the perfect pair. After perusing some of my favorite children's specialty stores, I was shocked by the absence of cute, fun dress socks! After finally finding a pair of beaded socks in the very back crowded corner of a mall specialty store, I thought: "Why should I have to rely on expensive boutiques to find a pretty pair of socks? I can make these on my own." So was born the idea for a web-based business catering to the custom client: Twinkle Toes!

There are different ways to attach the beads to the socks and depending upon the way you choose will drastically change the style and look.

This is what I like to call the "chandelier style."

Mom asked for something "delicate" in pink and purple.




Here is my adorable model with her new socks! I just recently got another order from her mom and I'm so excited to make her more!

This style is what I call "rock candy." Doesn't this look yummy? LOL
I really love how these came out~the pearls really give it a delicate look and break up the two shades of pink nicely.

When I first started making socks back in March, I was very excited about doing something new. I posted on a parenting message board I frequent offering to make these socks for moms of little girls.

My very first order was for socks for an adorable 4 month old little girl to match her Easter dress!
Mom posted these pics of the dress and asked if I make matching socks in time for Easter--which was a mere few days away! My first order and it's a rush order!!!

For a newbie, I think I did ok. What do you think?

Isn't this the most adorable dress? I LOVE the duckies!!! This shade of blue is beautiful.






















Not bad for a first attempt! A bit ambitious with adding the pearls...but mom loved them!


Here is the precious model wearing them.
