These scarves are all new, the tan and purple one are already in my jemmajo shop – the tan one at a sale price because of a slight discolouration of the scarf – hardly noticable when being worn…..
Today had sad news that one the biggest influences of my life has died and I just want to say a wee tribute to our wonderful bright and sparky artistic friend – who influenced me into artschool – Sheila MacIntyre of Inverary Argyll will be very much missed……
decided to call the jemmajo scarves….jemmajo …its a wrap! – what do you think???? More photos tomorrow I have to charge up my camera before I can download the photos….annoyingly!
what should I do first? tan and golds?, more greys with subtle sparkles? purple with dark black purples ( purple is the new black they say!) I have to make as many scarves as I can!! Because each scarf is unique, its not a case of making another one of the same! It just can’t be done as we only have tiny amounts of each fabric which we are ‘up cycling’ into a luxury cashmere scarf. My brain is so full of different colourways to do that I’m finding it difficult to get started!
I’ve put samples of colour ranges in my shop www.jemmajo.etsy.com for people to choose colourways from –
I’m so ecxcited I’m just been told that more sample fabrics are coming from Paris for me to use on the scarves!!
New Scarves getting ready for the craft fair in Byblos Glasgow on the 25th of September!
Janice and I did a wee photo shoot yesterday for the application form for ‘made in the shade’ craft fair at the litehouse on 29th of October I hope we get in!
OOPS I’ve managed to put the same photo in twice!
I just love the grey/silver scarf and also the white one janice did!
She’s going to make some cards with the scrap bits”! I think they will look good!
got to go and pin some more! i’m so inspired by the scarves made already!
New colours …..Blues! also our new labels came today which i can’t wait to put on our scarves!
Have pinned pinks and lilacs and blues onto the more turquoise one already!
looks gorgeous!
I’ve at last opened a new shop for the j’emmajo scarves and moved them there from my knitting shop byemmajo. This may seem a little strange to do that but I’ve had so many commissions for scarves recently that it seemed to be the right thing to do and not have them mixed up with knitting and other things. Actually I named the shop back in april but couldn’t decide whether to or not…
Today I’ve pinned out a gorgeously rich chocolate brown scarf with purples and blues will get a photograph soon…I also started doing some wee cotton bags but am not sure………….will photo them when I think they are right.
today cutie pie happily skipped off to nursery, much to my relief…. so then I was able to scurry round and pick up Jai so we could sort out fabrics for scarves for some craft fairs we are doing in sept/ oct. It was very sunny so we sat in front garden and it was glorious” Then was time to pick up tootsie and take jai home so off we went and when we got to jai’s hoose it suddenly was thunder!!! and sheets of rain!
Yesterday I ordered lables for the scarves and cotton bags that I thought we could applique onto as well…very excited, am also going to order some blue scarves too…short one tonight as very tired..speak soon!
