Me and my Shadow....

"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure,joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." Buddha This is my Shadow....my winter shadow... I am wrapped and shaped... warm and ready for the colder days and nights ahead. I have a new brooch...I thought I might use it for the closure. or just leave it loose, open, free.... or I may add the buttons later... but for now...it waits...shadowing me... We have returned from our travels. The days were warm and sun filled. Leisurely and full of laughter and joy...pure days... ones to remember ... I designed these fingerless mitts on the way home.... as a request. Made from Rowan Alpaca cotton ...soft and warm... and I promise to write up the quick pattern. My birthday is this Friday. September 4th. And I would like to give away this hooked bag that I made. Hand dyed woolen strips... carefully pulled and placed... the pattern name is Tennessee Posies... lined with a brushed cotton. perfect as a project bag... or use it as a purse... either way... it will belong to one of you... and may come filled with another treat or two... just leave me a comment to have your name entered. you must leave an email if I do not have it and if you blog and link this...let me know.... I will put your name in twice... for being twice as nice. I'll be back in a week or so to reveal winner. Until then...
