Birthday Goodies
My birthday went well. I was surprised with lots of Halloween themed gifts. One is an “enchanted” broom. It pretty much runs around the floor cackling! I love it! I also got a sewing machine and have been playing with it. I still need to learn how to sew but I am not doing too shabby with what I have made. Last night I made a Halloween tarot bag, but it can be used for just about anything really. This went much quicker than if I had handsewn it like I had my other ones.
Today I attempted to make Molly some fingerless gloves with the skulls fabric I had. But that didn’t turn out so well. I took note of my screw ups though so that I can make a point NOT to do those again! Anyway after that I got out the leftover fabric from the robe I made. I have A LOT of that left so I made a reversible altar cloth. I also refer to it as my sampler because I played with all of the different stitches on the pattern knob so I can get a feel for what was a thread eater, what went slowly (the knit stitch), and if I have a preference. Anyway it turned out great!
I like this picture because you can see the pattern on the fabric, but it’s not that bright of blue. It’s actually very dark, like navy blue.
Also today the kids and I finally started our Mabon Wreath. I bought the wreath part at Dollar Tree and we added leaves we had found on our walks. I didn’t pick up a bunch of green ones, we looked for unusual and colorful ones. We will be adding to it as the Autumn arrives and the leaves change. By Thanksgiving it should be full of leaves!
So I am going to leave you with some video of my birthday. I also want to let you know I did make a page for the Birthday Ritual. I had originally found it online a couple years ago and rewrote it to fit my pantheon. Feel free to do the same! Also I updated The Pagan Mom Blog Shop because I have some fundraising in the works for our homeschool. The funds we receive will be used for our field trips! Ok, I am seriously going now. Enjoy the video!
