"I don't often make things for myself, I'm always creating for my store or for friends and family." is a statement I often hear from my creative friends. It's a trap that I sometimes fall into, although I have been rectifying that quite frequently of late! But this latest creation has been a long time in the coming. Although I've been selling vintage doily scarves in my Domum Vindemia stores for about a year now, I haven't made one for myself until this week. Now that the winter weather is here to stay in Melbourne, I thought that I really needed something to "lift" my usually dark and/or winter-palette wardrobe.
So here I am attempting to model my new scarf while taking a self-portrait, pitiful, right? LOL. I am really loving the combination of purples, lime green and turquoises/teals this year and this scarf should match most of my outfits (with the exception of my red outfits). I haven't got a name for my scarf yet, but am thinking something along the lines of "Vineyard" or "Evening Jewels". What do you think?
Hi Deb! It's the first time I see a scarf like that! Very beautiful! I now follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI read that you studied molecular biology, I study physics in the University of Athens, Greece and in my free time do some crafting! Glad I found your blog
Have a nice day,
