Work in Progress and Christmas Open Studio



Yesterday it was warm enough to work in the garden. I was working on this velvet scarf. It is double thickness and has beading. I needed to do the beading by hand so took it outside to do. I am glad I did as today is cold damp and grey.

It's finished and will be at the Open Studio. I am also making a matching bag and corsage.
The scarf is featured on Etsy Lush
