Meanwhile, I finished my Candy Kisses shawl! I did not care for the pattern and the yarn had 2 places where they had attached more yarn but the color of the yarn is what sold me! I also did not enjoy crocheting it that much. I am so in love with the colors though that I am thinking I would like to hunt for fabrics in those colors (prints) and make a dresser scarf or a table mat. Anyway.....here's the shawl.............
Now on to the shawl itself!I worked on a few of my Halloween projects......
This is how far I've gotten....it's a big piece!
I also got out my Stitch Maynia project #2 to work on..........
and how far I've gotten.............
This coming week I hope to move forward with the next part of the Brill shawl, make progress on my Halloween projects, and the Frida Kahlo basket (I really need to finish it!). I also want to sew the project bag and maybe some Fall and Halloween 'bowl fillers'.
Fall is definitely here because my white clematis is in full bloom and it only blooms in the Fall! I would show you a picture but it has been raining ever since Laura came through. But it's cooler, rainy and definitely candle weather! I hope you are having a cozy Sunday!
Happy Trails!!!

Your shawl is gorgeous even if you didn't like the pattern!. And all of your stitching is lovely as always.
nice finish on the shawl! I have a favorite pattern I use...I have tried others and didn't like them as much. You are stitching along!! Enjoy your cooler weather we are! We could use less wind!
What a pretty shawl and I especially like the snowman in the year of cross-stitch.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. We'll probably be making a fast trip again to Nebraska in the next week or so.
Take care Sam.
Blessings,

I love all your cross stitch projects. Can't wait to see how they turn out and looking forward to the Frida Kahlo basket finish too. Glad the weather's cooler for you. It's definitely turning Autumnal here but then again, it's hardly been a 'normal' summer for everyone.
Your Candy Kisses shawl is pretty - I love those colors, too! NOw, somehow I missed that this this edging you've been working on is the beginning of another shawl. I kept thinking it was truly meant to be an edging for a shelf (or as you mention here your mantel). I can't wait to see the body of the shawl develop. As always, I love your cross stitch projects. Is that cat wearing glasses, or are those just his/her eyes? Can't wait to find out!
I am always amazed at how many little stitch projects you have on the go. How do you ever decide which one to pick up to work on?
Another week of such a great selection of projects. I love the Halloween ones, do you think you’ll have one of them finished in time for Halloween?
Do you love fall? Halloween projects sound fun. I have a beautiful skein of sock yarn in fall colors that keeps calling to me but I've got to get my sweater done first!! I love the colors and cooler temps of fall but I do hate that it mean winter is coming.
