when I was a kid my mom would always hand make valentines,
.eading to life long love of lace and glitter
..and teddy bears ..a
nd candy ...
this week we finished 3 ...yes 3 ..projects

| the green pineapple shawl! |
the green pineapple shawl was finally finished ...Alex had mentioned that the problem with most shawls is they don't really cover much..and really its the point of a shawl..unless you live in Sacramento and then the point is I suppose decoration...the finished version ( I am still debating if I want to add fringe or not ) is being modeled by Alex
it a very pretty silk/wool blend with a nubby texture and light weight..in a nifty earthy green "loden" it photographed much brighter in the office than it really is ( the non flash pics were blurry this time )

| pineapple doily shawl |
I found this nifty pattern for a shawl based from an old doily...and this very pretty sparkly mohair blend yarn that I never could find the right project ( and I got in 3 different colorways) ..2 balls made this pretty impractical shawl
the last shawl is made of super bright very fuzzy mohair I love the feel of mohair ..but golly working it is akin to pettin the kitty ..little bits of hair fly everywhere ..only pink and green hair !..and its WARM!

| the moahir shawl |
I have been trying to get more veggies in my diet lately ...so every soup/stirfry/pasts has been loaded vith veggies...I am in serious need of pulling out the cook books and seeing if vegetarian entrees will work for us at home ..alas unlike Oprah I cannot go vegan ( I love cheese way too much !)

Wow! That's so intricate. I love it! I'm eating a lot more veggies too. I'm on Weight Watchers, and fruits and vegetables are zero points!
