Rain Drop Fans

There it is, finally done,Shawl number 2.
Its supposed to be a Fan shawl but I call it a raindrop fan shawl because it seems to me the rain drops are more vivid in it.
They are what appealed to me.
It also ended up being a tri colored shawl instead of a totally mauve one.
The pink part also had mauve running through it so it complemented the original mauve,

Here the rain drops can be seen clearer.

Lacy Shawl

I couldn't get anyone to model for me and my mannequin
is out of reach so I am displaying it over a cookie can . lol

This Lacy Shawl I began many times because every time I started it, following the pattern and directions always made it too small. So I had to adjust the pattern to suit my needs and so it became my pattern in a sense lol
I used Patons Lace thread which consists of 10% mohair, 10% wool and 80% acrylique.

It is very nice for evening wear as it keeps the back shoulders and front warm from drafts you may get in air conditioned restaurants and such.

It can be worn with a belt for extra eloquence.
I was debating on whether or not I should put some pearls into it but it looks pretty nice as is.

This project was shear joy to make even if it took more thread than a regular shawl would.

I can't wait for an occasion to wear it.

Christmas Memories

This is my Mom sporting a designer dress I lent her.
She is standing in front of a Baroque Piano and my doll collection which I display on top of the piano.
The shawl was crocheted by my Motherinlaw. It was a big and hard job for her to do but she was very good at this kind of thing and I have to give her credit for teaching me and getting me to learn and take an interest in this hobby.
Now I do it all the time and think of her.

Time and life, all memories now, except for the things we leave behind.

It is dull outside and the Gray Cup is being played in Vancouver . So far the BC Lions are winning against Winnipeg.
Vancouver is not letting people watch the game on the street anymore because of the riots we had for hockey which they are still prosecuting people over.

Hope you have a great day.
