Sold it off the back

[emeraldmoon]

I wore a shrug that I made the other night to work and one of the customers liked it so much that she wanted it.. I told her that I can take an order from her and make her one in any color that she would like.. She said I am going on a cruise this weekend and that would be perfect to wear in the evening.. I told her there was no way that I could get hers made in time for her to take with her. She than said I will give you this(layed down a $100.00 bill on the counter) for the one that you have on right now.. My eyes got big of course and I told her she has a deal.. It had fit her perfect too.. I wish that I had taken a photo of it before I had worn it to work, because I had it edged with tiny seed beads.

Now to remember how I made that one so I can make another just for me....

It was just a normal looking shrug that tied in the front.. No pattern..
