A felted adventure

For my mum, however modelled by myself as mum was not wearing clothing with appropriate colours!I didn't think rainbow thermals quite complemented this shawl/scarf/cape! This was wet felted, merino and silk, yummy colour mix from the Hand Dyers, Spinners and Weavers Guild of Tasmania, Claret from the same lovely ladies! My favourite shawl dimensions so far, just the right thickness to save you from that little nip in the Spring wind, especially in Hobart at the moment!

Here comes the fancy stuff

My friend's Mum jokingly asked me to make her a white frilly apron with a satin ribbon, lace and d'Entrecasteaux embroidered across the front, and so I did. I took her joke as a challenge I suppose and taught myself to embroider, well at least I taught myself to do more than backstitch... after lots of hand sewing, for the words and when the machine wasn't gentle enough for the frills, it was finished, whoopie!
