Old Fashioned Lilac

 Good morning,

My Mother had a number of lilac bushes along the side of our home where I grew up.  I made sure to plant a similar bush in her memory.  She loved flowers, all kinds of flowers, but I know lilacs were some of her favorites.  

What a lovely way to remember my Mother.

All the best,

Lois

White Iris

 Good morning,

These pretty white iris remind me of my dear friend Barb.  

Barb gave me the bulbs that she rescued before she moved.  Now that she is gone, the iris come back every year to bring fond memories of our friendship.

There is something wonderful about living in the same home for so many years.  

Happy Spring!

Sauteed Shrimp

 Good morning,

My Honey made dinner and it was fabulous!

Shrimp sauteed in olive oil and garlic served on spinach salad.

It's almost healthy!

Yum!

Thanks, Sweetie,

Lois

Peanut Elsa

 Good morning,

This is our Elsa snoozing on the patio on a beautiful Spring day.

You can see how she gets her nickname:  Peanut.

Perhaps I didn't read directions correctly before assembling my Labrador....  Hmmm...

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

 Good morning,

It's going to be another beautiful day in our neighborhood.

Our pups don't let me sleep through a beautiful sunrise.  Aren't they wonderful? ;)  

All the best,

Lois

Fresh Bread Day

 Good morning,

It's fresh bread day again.  This batch is oats, sour cream, brown sugar.  

My goodness, it smells good here!

What are you making, baking, growing today?

Needlework and Woodworking Update - April 2024

 Good morning,

Welcome to this month's Needlework and Wood Working Update where we gather all of the items that we have completed since the last update.

Above you see an afghan blanket in the colors of a Southwest Desert Sunset.  The colors just blend together beautifully from the sand, to the orange sun, to the night sky.  It is a generous 50" x 50".  $165.  More images and information here.

 This 48" x 48" blanket is the colors of glowing embers in the fireplace.  $75.  This will make a lovely Mothers or Fathers Day gift.  More images and information here.

 Toilet Tissue Toppers are always popular.  They're a great way to liven up the bathroom with fresh color.  This one is here.  $8.

This burnt orange Tissue Topper is made of thick wool blend yarn.  $10.  More information and images are here.

There are many more in a variety of colors here.  From $8.
 

I try to keep the Cloche Hats stocked, also.  This one is here.  $10.  

There are many more from which to chose here.  From $8.

 And, finally, here is the beautiful Steel Guitar that Kjell made this month.  You won't find this in the shop because he is keeping it for himself.  :)  I don't blame him!  He's learning to play it, too!

We truly are enjoying our "retirement gig" of creating wood and needlework items.  We sincerely appreciate your encouragement, likes, shares, pins, favorites, and purchases, too.
