So a few weeks ago, my friend, Laura stirred up this first little burst of a frenzy with photos of The Sunday Shawl by Little Bee... Then, she started hers and it was so bright and cheerful... and summer-like! I tried to stay focused on projects I already had in the works...
But, dreams of long, hot summer days... and wearing flowing, gauzy cotton... Well, it just became an obsession; and, I remembered that I had a summer outfit that I did not have a shawl to match... Justification was born.
Soon, I was in the midst of this wonderful pattern. It is so fun! And, fast! Mine is done in Cotton Fleece by Brown Sheep Company, Inc.
These photos were taken on one of our gray days... they do not do it justice. Can't say enough about how fun this was; I enjoyed it so much that I finished my second one Saturday night! Thank you, Laura!
EARLY this morning! SUNSHINE on its way! I'm smiling!! Lots to do! Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!

Oh the shawl is so lovely and it will look awesome on you! I love it when the sky looks that way....all dreamy with splashes of colors that take your breath away. Blessings to you always sweet friend. :)
I love that outfit, and the shawl matches perfectly! Glad you found something fun to work on with the gloomy weather around here. We're getting more rain and clouds the next four days supposedly. Enjoy today with all the sunshine!
I love when you give in to your "addiction"!! Something beautiful always happen.

This post is about COLORS!
the shawl has my favorite colors, all together. I'm drooling...
The sunrise is breathing taking.
Love the colors you put together for this shawl. It is similar to the ones we made in college--though yours has more detail and is way nicer. Amazing you did a second one already. You are so inspiring! Hope you are enjoying some pretty spring weather as we are here. Near perfect.
Love those colors!
I had sun on my face today Tanna. It was healing and such a relief. We have had a weary winter. We had a gorgeous sunrise this morning - the colors were amazing just like the colors in this beautiful creation. They will be perfect for those cool spring evenings. Lovely!
What a beautiful combination of colors. What a cute outfit that is.
That sunrise is breathtaking.
Sending hugs
Love these colors together!!!!
Tanna, your shawl is gorgeous. I can see why you wanted to drop everything and make it. I feel like doing the same thing.
Hugs,

Beautiful shawl. My big project is a baby blanket right now. And lots of small stuff in between. :) Best wishes, Tammy
Gorgeous! I know you must have loved it to start #2 of the same pattern. LOL! Hope you have a week of sunshine! xoxo
Dear Tanna, That is a beautiful shawl and I am so glad that you found the perfect reason to make one and now two!
