Sounds weird but yes. Hubby and I are getting marry tomorrow. :-) We have been married only by Imam (Muslim minister) for 3 years and we could legalize the marriage until now for several problems. This morning hubby called me (he spent last night at work) and asked me how I was feeling and that tomorrow we were going out. It was suspicious because I know we don't have money to go out, so I asked and asked until he answered. "Habibti (darling in Arabic) we are marrying tomorrow". Yay!!! I woke up very ill this morning but just listening to these words resolved everything and felt better.
So I had to hurry and make the headscarf I bought for the "wedding" day. I was thinking to make it more adorned but just having a day to make it, I decided to make a simple edging, add beads and sequins and Voila!
Here is a snap shot of the scarf. It's a nice purple grape with silver threads woven. So I used another purple shade, clear seed beads and the silver big sequins I got a few weeks ago.
Here is a detail of the edging. I still need to make the pin to secure the scarf. But that will take only a few minutes. To make the decoration of the scarf (one side only) took me a little under 4 hours. Not bad, eh? Now I'll got to the Online Tatting Class.
I have been making edgings for several hankies and because the edge of the hanky is scallop I had trouble looking for a pattern. I started doing this one after some trial and errors. Another "here I am" design. It ruffles a little, because I like hanky's edgings to ruffle just a little so it looks more feminine. I have done already 3 out of 6 hankies and I think I'll keep doing this pattern.
