The black background has been over-sprayed with glitter spray - so it really sparkles!

The cross of St. Judy, the patron saint of the lgbt community, is formed of stiletto-heel shoes in rainbow colors with the ruby-hued shoe featured prominently. St. Judy protects from persecution for sexual orientation and helps one to find true love and a home.

Day 333-Cinema Tuesday-Wizard of Oz

Tonight was a screening of Wizard of Oz and it was quite a treat to see it on the big screen! We got there and there were little cakes waiting for us with different things. I got ruby slippers and my Mum got Glinda the Good Witch.

I took my Nana with us as well and she enjoyed it a lot.

It had to be the rubby slippers and the poppies from 'Wizard of Oz' - my favourite!

leaving for pre-k Halloween Parade

These socks were knit from my own pattern, which I really don't consider a complete success. I was trying to design something that would work well with handpainted yarns, but I didn't really achieve my desired effect. The stitch pattern I used (I thought it was "Checkered Acre" from Barbara Walker's first stitch dictionary, but upon closer inspection, it's not, so I don't know what the stitch pattern is, except something that I jumbled up) is highly textured. For this reason, I kept the patterning on the leg only, and went with a 3x3 ribbing on the foot. Otherwise, I think the socks would have been terribly uncomfortable in shoes.

Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock lightweight in Ruby Slippers

Shoe: Look at me. Am I not wonderful?

Lady: You are the most wonderful shoe in the world. I fall to my knees and weep with pleasure when I am with you.

Pause

Lady: You are BEAUTY, you are truth. In you I find my SALVATION.

Shoe: Thank you. You are a nice lady.
