The Tie Scarf: Of Equestrians and Flight Attendants

 Oh, how creative I must get when I don't have a camera I understand how to use...
Today, I wore the Greta Tie Scarf from Colette Patterns that Kendra and I made together via Skype last weekend.  I built my entire outfit around it, just so I could wear it!  However, that also meant that I ended up feeling like a flight attendant on my top half and an equestrian on my bottom half (yes, those are my Intyce boots that just arrived - earlier than expected!).
Come fly the friendly skies!


I love the little pleated end on this scarf and I like the floral cotton print I chose to use.  I also loved the fact that it literally took about 30 minutes to make.  It's really more of a springtime scarf (WHICH WILL BE HERE IN SIX WEEKS!  THANKS, CHUCK!) because it's so light and small, but I think it turned out pretty cute.  Go check out Kendra's!

(We also made a second little goody during the same session, and I'll try to take some pictures soon.  You've heard enough of my camera woes at this point!)
