Mouse slippers for 8 year old

I crocheted these slippers 1 month ago but I never put out a picture of them. They were for my new boyfriends' daughter. She is 8 years old.
She liked them :) She is running around in them in the morning sometimes. This is how they look before you put them in the washing machine to get a more felted feeling:

At the moment I don't do much related to knitting. I just knit now and then since I have too much work at the school for adults and at the same time my studies takes a lot of time (50% distance studies)

 I really long for the time when I can sit and design patterns again and knit after them. I will be finished with my studies in 1 year and 3 months. Time goes really slow. After that I will finally have the evening free. No more reading in the course books, just knit and smile :)
