An almost finish

I've been working on several different projects and I haven't finished any of them except one.  I finished a new shawl yesterday.....it's cream colored wool/silk blend called Heritage Cascade Silk and it's yummy.  I've been asked what am I going to do with all these shawls!  Right now I have no idea.  LOL  I'm just making them to use up all this yarn I have and will worry about the other thing later.
I started a Wichelt freebie (found here) and I hopefully will have this finished sometime this week.  It's been slow going!  I'm stitching this with an HDF silk on Picture This Plus linen called Fog.  It's a great non color and is quite easy to see.  I have plans for this design which will use the following:
I'm hoping to have it all finished by this weekend and in my store.
Have you seen the new Brenda Gervais design called Valentine Sampler?  Well if you haven't, you must click your way over to her store and take a look....it's stunning.  I've given you a short cut so just click here
I've ordered mine already and cannot wait to receive it.  I have yet to see one of her designs I didn't like.
I must correct myself on a post I did a few weeks ago.  The pink and cream bag I made for myself....I posted that I purchased the fabric at Sewing Studio.  Well the brain is getting weaker everyday and I had mistakenly mixed up my fabrics.  That particular one can be purchased at Joann Fabrics and I highly recommend doing it.  I went back and purchased more yardage of both of them.
So that's about all that's going on in my world.  We are getting in photos of January's finished pages for the SAL.  Just a reminder to those participating....if you don't have your January finished page to me or Jenn by the 31st, you are then taken off the list to qualify for the gift at the end of the year.....so please send them in as soon as you finish them.
Until we talk again, have a Blessed day,
Barbara.

Beautiful work. I have a suggestion for the shawls. If you are a christian you could give them as prayer shawls to others you know who are I'll or going through some crisis.
