Sontag Kay's Tess D'Uberville Shawl

I searched the web inside out looking for a Sontag shawl and was so happy to run across this one.
I am going to help a friend sell her items we make at reenactment's around the USA so I wanted something to go with my outfits when the weather gets cold.
This is just a sample, when I get done I will try my hand a spinning my own yarn from wool and knitting one form what I make. I want it to be as close to what they had back in the early 1800's.
Thank You Kay for making this available to everyone for free.

Years Gone By

Years Gone By

Years have gone by day by day.

Wishing childhood would come another day.

Wisp of gray in our hair.

A wrinkle or two or could it be a chin or two?

So fast and furious have the years gone by...

That we hit our 50's in a blink of an eye.

As balding men and menopause woman

We took our youthful look for granted.

We always thought our bodies and mind would remain same

Is that insane?

We have always been told....

We are to age gracefully...

Is that so?...

Oh...I will not go...

We can get....

Tummy tucks

Eye lifts

Liposuction

Laser peel

and diet pills

We can get breast implants

And even....penile implants.

That facts remain hard and true

We are no longer youthful....

this is true

We have reach an age that wisdom is the truth

However...

the fact remains we are still young at heart

House of Sickness

It's made it threw the whole family almost just my hubby hasn't gotten the sickness yet. I finally went to Doc after 11 day and of course I'll feel better in a few days he said. Then I took Hannah cause she just wasn't pulling out of it like Luke and Ray Ray, got some meds and there was a smile on here face the next day. My son-in-law came home from work yesterday with it and the baby started with it last night. My daughter has been running in circles so I don't think she'll get it until everyone else is better. Isn't that the way it happen for moms. I've tried knitting and spinning,but was to sick to sit up for very long so just watched TV and played video games with the kid to help out with them. But I'm ready to get back into the swing of things.

Monday, Monday

Good Morning all,

We had a wonderful 4th, we cooked out and the kids went to see the fireworks. I've been sick now for 9 days not sure with what, but ready to see the Doc. Feels like a flu bug. I've done some spinning, but not to much get to weak to sit up for a long time.

I'm working on a sweater for my granddaughter, the little one on the end, but haven't done any knitting either. And now the older girl is sick too. I sure hope the other 3 don't get it,especially the baby, she's only 5 weeks old.

Happy Fourth Of July

Well we've jumped into a new month and I love this month cause we start it out with fire works and end it with 1/2 way to Christmas. So by the end of the month  we can start our shopping for Christmas. Sound like fun yet? OK I know I'm a little strange but we all have things we love and these are two of my favorite things.

OK Ladies it was nice to see you Thursday night.  Sorry I was out of it, but this flu bug sure has a hold of me bad. Made it threw Thursday,but Friday I was down all day. Don't feel to bad today, sure hope it holds out all day would love to go to the fire works tonight. And back to Frances to sew on Monday.

Believe it or not my parts still haven't come yet for my spinning wheel, but I was able to get my wheel to spin and I took it to the library Thursday. I just love my new friends they both told me how well I was doing. But Cathy is great I said "Maybe by the time I get threw this lb. of fiber I'll have it down pat", and she said " no it will take you at least 2 lb.". You got to love her. And I'm hoping the new parts will help. I have things rigged to work now.
