Romance is Alive and Well

The Frosting Cowl

A romantic husband purchased this cowl last week.

He wrote me a lovely little note.

His thirteenth anniversary is coming up,

and he wanted a traditional gift for his beloved.

Lace is the traditional gift for the thirteenth.

He chose this lace pattern cowl.

Stories like this are what make my work so very rewarding.

I tied a special piece of white vintage lace onto this cowl before sending it off.

Just a little extra bit of romance for his wife.

One can never have too much romance,

don't you agree?

I know of one woman in Canada who will feel very loved 

on her thirteenth wedding anniversary.

Thank you for stopping by, dear hearts...

In other news...

Yesterday our boy left for three days with his paternal grandparents.  I was hit with sadness and tears when he was waving goodbye to me as they drove away.  Thank goodness he didn't see it!  I know, I'm such a sap.  The image of him waving goodbye is frozen in my mind.  I can't help thinking that soon he will be waving goodbye to me as a young man, leaving for the last time.  These motherhood heartstrings...infinite and complex, twisting, crossing, changing colors....

I hope you have a beautiful Thursday, dear friends!  I have a long list (yay for lists!) of things to get done while he's away.  If I finish everything on the list, I may just treat myself to a little reward tomorrow...

Thank you so much for stopping by to see me...xo

Busy Hands....

Exponential Neck Ruffle.

Sticks and Stones Capelet.

Petticoat Boot Ruffle.

Yes, my hands have been very busy these days. My mind has been going a mile a minute. If only my hands could keep up with my mind....That would go right along with my idea of a perfect world.

My designs are sort of moving in a different direction, yet they are still very much the style of Fringe. How that happens, I have no idea. I guess it's because these designs, like all my others, come from my ideas...that is, they all originate from the same place...

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit...xo
