Something I haven't really shared widely is, I LOVE fiber arts and usually have some project going. I particularly like to make shawls!

Shawls are such wonderful comfort items, ya know? Like a hug you can wrap around you any time, without the sloppy kiss from Aunt Bessie attached. *wink* I have a variety of them laying all over my house, in all kinds of colors to go with anything...for use on simple walks, while dew-dancing in the morning garden, for head-covers as you dash in the rain...when is a shawl not necessary? I have ALWAYS had them in my wardrobe, as standard as jeans, T-shirts, and that little black dress.

The shawls I make are of an incredibly cuddly yarn known for it's superior softness, ...they are blanket-like and heirloom-quality! With proper care, it should last you a lifetime!

Size: Each shawl measures approx. 22 inches wide and over 7 feet long. (6 skeins of yarn used per shawl).

Care: Machine or hand wash gentle/cool, lay flat to dry, stretch to shape if needed.

If you are interested in having one made especially for you, let me know! faescribbles@aol.com My method is.... I like to call them Intention Shawls....if I know a bit about you (or your shawl recipient) before beginning, I think of you the whole time I'm making it, so your shawl is not only made especially for you, but infused with good thoughts and intentions directed especially toward you and perhaps any special needs you may have!

Besides being warmth and fashion accessories, shawls make wonderful gifts for birthdays, weddings, new babies, special ceremonies, and as comfort shawls for ill friends or family. It's truly a gift that lasts forever.....

Yarn Colors:

Cream - 790-393	Black - 790-373	Grape - 790-386	Gothic - 790-334	Baroque - 790-332
Reminds me of thick Irish wool sweaters...and a forever shawl staple in any wardrobe!	Elegant black--goes with any and everything! Perhaps the most-worn shawl in my own collection.	A rich, deep purple!	Heathery, violet-y, gorgeous!	A slightly softer shade of heathery violet!

Lavender - 790-390	Edwardian - 790-312	Herb Garden - 790-410B	Corinthian - 790-345	Prairie - 790-335
A lovely choice for a girl baby or spring shawl! Beautiful on any complexion, but particularly for blondes or gray hair. The traditional color to give for care-giver appreciation.	I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this steely gray--goes with everything and adds just enough difference to an all-black outfit! I've also made this as scarves for men. A very big HIT! Ask my sons! ;)	Subtle shades of earthy spring color. See the sprigs of blossom color peeking through?	Feeling artsy or gypsy-like? And if not, WHY not? Maybe you need this shawl! I especially love this one adorned with hand-sewn charms (optional).	I adore this earthy blend of color. A favorite shawl over a black dress.

Tudor - 790-315	Nouveau - 790-338	Chili - 790-400A	Russet - 790-397	Saffron - 790-401C
Beautiful color blend for a child, or elegant wrap to go with BLUE outfits!	More gorgeous earth & southwest tones!	Perfect for spicey, NOTICE-ME-NOW moments! Chili pepper-y indeed!	An especially complimentary choice for redheads...and we all know how naturally-magical redheads are!	A luscious tone to contrast dark complexions! It's fire-y color like a phoenix rising.

Meadow - 790-395	Earth - 790-403C	Fawn - 790-380	Granite - 790-374	Olive - 790-378
Meadow---describes it perfectly! Get lost, wrapped in your own meadow!	Goes with nearly everything! A favorite of mine with jeans and brown leather boots and belt.	Soft and doe-like! Beautiful on persons with hair of a similar color!	A difficult toss-up between this and Edwardian (above)! Both are a necessary and much-loved gray to own! Elegantly regal! A PERFECT men's shawl!	Garden-lover that I am, this shade of green is a personal favorite for garden meanderings or field hikes in the early morn.

Quartz - 790-362	Cobalt - 790-379	Colonial - 790-302	Dusty Blue - 790-402D	Williamsburg - 790-321
A beautiful choice for a baby girl child's cozy wrap!	Beautiful, near-brilliant cobalt! I usually prefer subdued earthy colors, but when it comes to blue...you simply cannot be too bright!	Varigated threads give this blue a bit more character! Outstanding on blue-eyed souls. People will continually comment "Your EYES are *SO BLUE*!	Soft as dusk, or the early morning mist at sunrise! Another especially complimentary choice on gray-haired shawl-wearers!	A heathery shade of gray-blue of the English moors! Magical! A popular choice for a baby boy child's wrap!

Fuschia - 790-385	Golden - 790-394	Mixed Berries - 790-411A	Boston Rose - 790-371	Tweed - 790-381
A cross between fuschia or cranberry or mixed berries. Mouth-watering color!	A beautiful golden-yellow as a return-to-me-shawl to wear while you await your loved one's safe return!	A beautiful & cheery shawl to honor Breast Cancer Awareness, or for a patient in need of comfort.	Feminine and classic!	Several shades of Earth. So simple. Yet so beautiful.

Lemonade - 790-388	Bourbon - 790-409B	Deco - 790-309	Painted Desert 790-407D	Covered Bridge Red - 790-367
Another soft and delicate color---lovely for new babes or a spring wardrobe.	This color makes me think of Aztec gold or Mayan maize being freshly stone-ground.	Pure, dazzling white...perfect for a bridal or baptismal shawl, or summer wrap!	Predominantly blue with the added fun of other color!	Red without being too RED.....know what I mean? Subtler, rustic, and better-supports all complexion tones.

Fiesta - 790-396	Cotton Candy - 790-392	Parfait - 790-405F	Coral Gables - 790-370A	Lagoon - 790-404C
A peachy fun fiesta of color!	Another beautiful & cheery shawl to honor Breast Cancer Awareness, for a patient in need of comfort. Or baby girls!	A bit softer variation of PINK!	Deep peach/coral tone...the color of harmony.	Like it's name suggests, beautiful calming water tones!

Apple Green 790-399
In my dewy garden, I feel one with my plants wrapped in a shawl of earthy green!
