You can never have too many pairs of shoes! All wardrobes should include a magical pair such as Ruby Slippers to take you to OZ and of course those fabulous pink ballet pumps for partying the night away, go on ... ‘Put on your dancing shoes!’
This book is one of my favorite Christmas gifts!
My friend really knows what I like.
P.S. The shoes sparkle!
June 10th (Judy Garland's birthday) the retro characters first made a comeback to Land of Oz since 1975. Costumes made by Billy Ferguson.
Yay, almost time to turn the heel! Well, it was a yay because I'm excited to wear these. I'm hoping they will be knee highs. But, I was also concerned because I've ended up with holes on the knit side of my short row heels every time. This time I didn't though! Eep :-)
I still have to reference the Ann Budd article in last years Interweave Knits for some of the parts. I know cuff down socks by heart but am trying to take more advantage of toe up socks lately. I even used contrasting yarn for toes and heels to get all that I can of the Ruby Slippers.
That is what the button on her coat says! I had the wrong lens on (as usual) when she walked by....hence the cut off head....however I had to share this wonderful lady with you. Please note her sparkly red shoes totally match her sequin red scarf.

Today one of my little friends was wearing her ruby slippers. She always dresses herself, which is always something that is just her style. Today I wanted to be at home so bad and just looking at her shoes all I could think is "There's no place like home!" These shoes are very loved!
These are the shoes my husband and I wore at our wedding, September 6, 2008. He has TONS of shoes (at least 60 pairs!) and wanted to wear Adidas in the wedding. His groomsmen wore them too.
Zane was really into playing Wizard of Oz tonight. We acted out scenes at his direction. Here you see the "Groovy Slippers." Notice they are kids size 1 on my adult size 10 feet.
Ai Doll 'Gloxinia' is Somewhere Over The Rainbow... Hopefully she knows to Click Her Heels Three Times, because- after all- There's No Place Like Home!
Ai Doll 'Gloxinia' by Jun Planning. Dress and basket (with Toto inside!) borrowed from Madame Alexander / McDonald's Dorothy Gale. Socks by nubanded. Ruby slippers by Mimiwoo.
Group costumes on Commercial Street before the start of the 2015 Carnival Parade whose theme was Candyland. These were some of the best costumes since the parade was shorter this year.
The ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. They were originally silver but were dyed to "show off" the new invention of Technicolor.
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.
