I bought a popular book on the history of magic spells and learned there is a whole grouping of spells that are used for when the way to your dreams come true seems blocked. For many months I did such spells each time having a major success and yet not the full total success yet that I am unblocking the way to allow it and receive it into my life.
The spells are done at a crossroads. Today when I came back to a train station where I had placed coins as an offering to whatever crossroads guardian spirits that my higher consciousness chose to work with I saw that someone had erased letters off the name of the train station and I took this photo.
My Magic Lamp Kitty page is from Pampered Pets Coloring Book by Marjorie Sarnat, colored with SoHo Urban Artist Professional Colored Pencils, Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils, Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils, Tombow Dual Brush Pens, Uni Posca pens and blended with light colored pencils. Page is colored for Marjorie Sarnat Creative Coloring THE BRIGHT SIDE COLOR ALONG. The orange looks duller in person. Complement colors from CMY color wheel - Orange, Yellow Green and Blue.
Pattern: sort of the one on the lable (cuff down, heel flap).
Yarn: Lion Brand Magic Stripes in Stonewashed Blue Pattern
Needles: aluminum DPN's size #2 (the aluminum was what nearly killed these hands -- I've switched to bamboo and birch, and I'll let you know how things go)
Cast-on to cast-off: I can't really remember, but all together actual knitting time was 14 hours. I finished them on Tuesday morning at 2am.
Notes: These were knit as a sample for the Major Chain Craft Store. If I knit these for myself, I'd make the entire leg in 2x2 rib so that they wouldn't fall down. Also, they softened up like crazy when I washed them. They actually went from kind of stiff to quite cozy. I could hardly believe it myself! I would also make them mismatched, because I would find that charming. I just figured that if I was actually SELLING these, they should match perfectly.
I got a second Magic Moves Barbie. I just had two of their body suits so one of them gets to wear the original outfit and another gets to wear the cool skirt that I think goes with their stuff perfectly :) The fun part about them not having their original earrings was giving them fun earrings I found that matched their outfits instead! They are so pretty!
This past August at the Magic PRIDE Festival, this shirt was being sold, some proceeds from which supported OutReach, which is Madison's LGBT+ community center.
The design on this shirt is based on a promotional logo for the original Magic Picnic here in Madison in the late 1970s. "MAGIC" stood for the Madison Area Gay Interim Committee, which was formed to counter the anti-gay campaigns of the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Since I love things that are cute AND support good causes, I bought three of these "Pride" shirts: Two in medium size (one for myself and for a friend who couldn't attend), and one in small size (which I thought my friend's shirt size was, but is the size for a relative of theirs who identifies as LGBT).
