Fall is really almost here.
The leaves are turning,and the jewels of autumn are all
around us.
my inspiration for my new project...e'tole transformable
combining Dream in Color Smoochy and Rowan Kidsilk haze,
has made an interesting fall shade/almost tweed like with a soft halo.
the pattern, and Dream in Color were both gifts to me...
and a look in my jewelry case was fruitful in finding a beaded necklace
that matches it almost perfectly.
I also started Rowan's Toasty Snood from Winter Gifts.
Made from a camel colored alpaca...
a gift from a friend in Tasmania...
and Lena...don't forget Lena ,
I am still working on her...
My autumn list is full....
Using all of my gifts is a pleasure.
Reminds me of my friends everywhere,
And how thankful I have been to find them...
So now for my gift...
my giveaway...
