Crochet attempt 4: I did it!

A miracle has happened or perhaps Tara from mamachee just mentioned the magic word in crocheting world: stitch markers. As I kept getting the start of the heel on the back of my work instead of on the side, she said I might be using the slipstitches as actual stitches and told me that I couldn't do that. She suggested to put a safety pin ('cause I don't have any stitch markers yet) in the slipstitches so that I wouldn't put an actual stitch in there.
It worked! It really worked! :)
Tara has been so patient with me and promptly answered all my crocheting questions with so much detail that I just couldn't give up. I knew that we would be able to do it! :) Now I'm off to buy some more yarn as I used more then I thought because of the 4 strands crocheting... and soon I'll be wearing my Oma House Slippers with pride and joy.
Thank you Tara for all your patience and perseverance to get me through this!
You're the best! :) Oh, and the size is simply perfect!

    Well done...now you have to make a second one to match (good luck...I am saying that because I am so bad at making the same thing twice LOL- but I have no doubt you'll manage)

    They are cute, even as a size 9. I have no idea what you were talking about with the stich something, as I don't know how to crochet, but well done!

    It looks great Mitsy!...I'm glad the stitchmarker worked for you! I'm impressed that, as a beginner, you were able to get this slipper done so fast....Mitsy, the master of patience!
