Wore my Flower Basket shawl to a dinner party last night and I loved it. This was the blouse I wore, but rather than the brown pants I have on today, I wore a paisley skirt in pink and cranberry tones that coordinated with the shawl and blouse. And I wore lipstick (wild woman eh?). I'm glad I blocked it wider than the pattern because it's just wide enough to tie. Tried to get a photo last night but it didn't turn out. The babysitter had just arrived and I was late for picking Brian up at work, so we rushed it. My daughter pointed the camera up at me in my high-heeled boots (whoa, heals and lipstick - definitely a party), creating the redwood tree photo effect of huge bottom receding to a teeny tiny top. Not pretty.
