Can you stand another Falling Blossoms Shawl? This is number three for me and I have to say I still love the pattern. It is a quick project that will make a nice Christmas present. Made with Malabrigo Solis dark. I am guessing about 520 yards went into this shawl as I still have some yarn left and the skeins are 310 yards each. I also used a size H hook but should have gone up a size. Regardless after a good steaming with the iron it looks lovely. This was stash yarn so I am happy that it has been made into a nice gift.
This was another busy week at work and appears to be getting even busier as I am picking up a one month old darling girl with Downs Syndrome this week. I can't wait to get started helping her with her muscles and development. I also went to a workshop yesterday on essential oils for the healthcare professional. It was very informative and I hope to help myself with my headaches and Little Buddy with some of his issues. As I get more confident I may recommend a few for some of the kids I work with. It is always exciting to learn something new and something you can use. As for Little Buddy I wonder if you have seen him around anywhere? All I can see is this spooky visitor. After all it is almost Halloween!
Have a great week my friends.

The shawl is lovely and will make a super gift. It is great that you are using what you have been learning about the oils. Have a good week.
Another beautiful shawl, it will make a lovely gift. Good to see ghosts out and about ready for Hallowe'en. Essential oils are wonderful, I hope they work for your headaches. I always have a few in the fridge. Hope you have a good week. CJ xx
Beautiful work Meredith. You're so talented!

I have just been admiring your pretty shawls in your last few posts. I am so glad you got to go to the Fall Festival this year, and I enjoyed seeing your photos of the animals and Little Buddy and I celebrate his growth with you....I wonder where Little Buddy can be? :-) ((hugs))
What a lovely shawl!!!
Buddy makes a seriously scary ghost. I'm glad he's not sneaking up on me!
That is such a beautiful shawl Meredith. Whoever receives it will be very blessed. I'm glad you're learning about essential oils. I use them a LOT and find them very useful. I make up roller bottles for pain for my friend Jenny and it really helps her. I also make up bottles for Piper and Brad for their allergies and they help them too. I use them for sleep and also diffuse them in the house, especially in the winter to ward off germs. I've only known about them for a couple of years, but have become a huge believer in them.
Take care my dear freind and thank you for your sweet comment today on my blog.
Blessings,
Betsy
Ho! I am still getting my breath back after the shock of that ghostly visitor in your photo... but I recognise those legs! ;-) Enjoy your Hallowe'en celebrations.
I love this shawl! maybe it's the color but I find it the most beautiful!
and that darling little spooky ghost... be careful Mere... be very careful! LOL
Quick note to say your lovely yarn and knitting book arrived safely. Yarn now wound and I'm trying to locate a pattern to do it justice. Feel so lucky to have won. Thank you for sharing.
Boo!
Perhaps a little Sage Oil to get rid of that ghostie?
Beautiful shawl! And, what an adorable spooky visitor you got! :)
Little ghosts are nice and not at all spooky. Hello, Ghost. :-)
What a spooky ghost you have there!
LOVE the shawl. That colorway is so 'me' and the design is beautiful too.
I love the colour and the pattern of the shawl.
Kids really grasp the whole idea of alter-egos for Halloween! Cute!
The shawl is so pretty-nice work.
My goodness......who can that ghostly creature be??????
I LOVE your choice of yarns for your shawls . You are gifted!
Bravo on another fabulous shawl for your gift giving! I know each recipient will be thrilled. I'm almost to the end of my Dune blanket for my granddaughter and just need to do a simple border. I've decided to go ahead and send it to the older one and then start on the second one. That way it can be used and enjoyed longer.
EEEK.. seems you have a ghost in your house! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
All the NICU Nurses wanted to follow the Downs babies. Something so angelic about them. One of my favorite riders at the barn, well several., have Downs Syndrome. I hope that ghose can get on a horse and ride...like the headless horseman
He is so cute. He always makes me chuckle. I love the color of your latest shawl. Malabrigo makes fabulous yarn. How great that is was a stash knit!
I can see why you like the shawl, it's a great shape and I love the lacy detail on the one side. He is a funny one and I can see how your days are delightful because of him. Share with us about essential oils!!
Camo scary ghost!! HA~~thanks for sharing! Nice shawl.
I love it when children think you can't see them! He's such a treasure. The shawl is gorgeous. I'm sure the lucky recipient will be delighted with it.

Your shawl is fabulous!!! Love the colour and what a beautiful gift. I don't seem to see Buddy anywhere at all!!!! lol. Sometimes the weeks just fly by don't they, we live in a very busy world. Have a gorgeous week ahead. xxxxx
What a beautiful shawl!
I wonder where Little Buddy can be, you'll just have to make do with your spooky visitor for now. Love the shawl.
Love that beautiful shawl! It's so pretty and the color is gorgeous.
Gorgeous shaw, Merel! I've never seen anything so flowing like this. The colors are gorgeous, too.
I love your enthusiasm in helping this little babe get a good start in life. The essential oils are interesting,too. I've only read up just a tiny bit on them and it's all good. If you have the time maybe you can give us a little run down or perhaps, let us know how they help you and Little Buddy.
Happy Fall!🍁
I love the shawl! The colors of the sea on a cloudy day.

One of my childhood friends had Downs Syndrome. I still remember her fondly. She never judged or said anything nasty. She was happy with life.
