I have a clever Mum. This goes without saying. She is a very talented weaver and she wove me an amazing scarf for Christmas. It is beyond fabulous. It is rayon chenille and bamboo of all things. Each little fringe has been painstakingly braided. OMG! I love the grey stripes. So classy! It feels amazing around my neck and is just the right length for me to double and loop. Oh, I just am so spoiled. Thanks, Mum. I love it. I wish we had touch-a-vision. I wore it the other night when the buds and I went to see Les Miserables (what a movie!!!!!) and my scarf got much attention. And did I say we really enjoyed the movie???
And speaking of spoiled. Mum also gave me milk glass candle holders for Christmas. Feeding my milk glass habit she is. Aren't they awesome????
Off to finish the binding on the Another Star quilt... I know, how exciting is that? Another wip bites the dust!
That scarf is gorgeous! Lucky you! And beautiful candlestick holders, too! Your Mom really knows what you love! :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf... I love red so it would have gotten my attention as well! :-)
ReplyDeleteClever, thoughtful and talented - handy to have a Mum like that!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is beautiful! I want one now. You are so lucky to have your Mum still making you things. I can't wait to see Les Mis. I saw the stage production when I was 11 or 12 and I love the music. Hugh Jackman is a good draw card too! I've finished 2 wip already in January and have plans to get another 3 done, then I will begin something new!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mom! That scarf is so perfect, Cathy. I love the red and the gradual change to grey. How cool that your mom wove it, too! How many people can say they have a bamboo scarf woven by their mother?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous scarf, and bamboo & chenille- dreamy soft!
ReplyDeleteOh, Wow! What workmanship… It's beautiful!
