For a more sturdy sole, a soft mouse pad makes excellent soles for home made shoes. I found some that were fabric over the soft foam with a hard plastic sheet on bottom that give the sole some strength. Cover the hard plastic with something non-skid and use a stitching awl. The slippers will last a long time. To save time, you can cut out an inner sole for firmness, and still be able to use your sewing machine on the outside. Like your slippers.

I conveniently leave out the stuff like tantrums, the overgrown back yard, and the occasional dirty dish left overnight in the sink. I think that for me, it boils down to a combination of less television time and putting off cleaning (probably more of the latter). I keep the laundry done, for the most part, and other things neat enough to not be filthy, but I have definitely had more than one night where I've looked at the kitchen floor and thought "will I get more enjoyment out of actually scrubbing this, or will I get more enjoyment out of sweeping the crumbs out, then spending an hour at the sewing machine?" Don't tell Martha Stewart. :) No no no, I only post the happy stuff here.
