I sew when I get the urge. (And I'll admit it -- sometimes I sew when I don't have the urge too.) That's when I do it best. And when I do it fast. But faster is better, right?
A good friend, Vanessa, gave me the inspiration for this scarf. She'd found her scarf in Paris, but since Paris (sadly -- sniff) isn't next door, I decided I'd try and make one. The next Friday night I came up with this.
And I love it!
Of course, I used these few different fabrics: velveteen, voile and cotton. Call me silly, but I love mixing fabrics. love it. Call it an obsession.
The weather was just perfect today. We're having a beautiful January! It's fun when you can just wear a cardigan over your shirt and a light scarf and still be comfortable. I like cold weather ... when I can crawl under a quilt (or blankie) on the couch and watch a good movie. In front of a fire, none-the-less. I can't forget the fire. That's most important. How's the weather where you are? And what have you done lately, just 'cause you got the urge?

How you sound like me!! I never sew until I get the 'urge' :) And that's not been too recent. This morning, here in Texas, it was 27 and I couldn't believe it, it didn't feel that cold at all to me!
I thank you girls for your sewing encouragement, You are amazing to re-create a French, PARIS, scarf how fun, how much can I buy one for??? :D Or is it a one-of-a-kind thing, like everything I seem to make!
