Crafts by the sea

I was on a mission last weekend.  Finish my give-away scarf so I am ready for the drawing on February 1st.  Mission accomplished.


We had cooking.

We had wine.

And we had gobs of fun!  It is the only way to focus on a mission.

But first ... pictures of other missions that were accomplished ... I should be so talented as these folks.

First off, these charming knitted snow men in 3 sizes are so cute in person.

The beginnings of a beautiful blanket.

Finished spa cloths.

More beautiful spa cloths

Another weaving creation - in two colors.

A lovely cowl - cozy warm on a snowy beach visit.
My own project (the give-away for the blogfest) was coming along well.  
The picture shows the completed
portions of the woven scarf collecting on the fabric beam.


Finally reached the end and completed a hem stitch to secure the woven rows.


The finished scarf - laying in wait for it new owner.

It is just as beautiful as I pictured it to be. And I think it would most definitely look just as nice on me. I commented on the appropriate post to be entered, but just had to tell you what great work you do. Thanks again for all the wonderful comments you left on my blog last night! Have a great day!

I love the texture of the weave on the scarf you are making, the colours are absolutely lovely - they make me think of heathers and woods. What a lovely collection of work - love the snowmen! Betty
