Needlework and Wood Working Update - September, 2023

 Good morning,

Welcome to this month's Needlework and Wood Working Update.  I snapped the image above while working on a heirloom Christening, Bris, Naming Ceremony Blanket for the shop.  An identical one had just been sold so I was making another.  The finished blanket is available in the shop now.  $65. Click here for more images and information.  Only one available.

 This sweater was a custom order and has been delivered.  I snapped the picture with flash late at night.  I can see now I could have done a better job of folding it before taking the picture! I designed and made this to fit and took a couple of stabs at it before it was finished.  I started out with crochet, but didn't like the drape, so ripped it out and designed a knit sweater.  The request was for a smooth knit, so I didn't do any of my signature cables, lace, or basket weave.  Of course, with the subtle color changes of the yarn, fancy pattern stitches aren't as necessary.  I like the result. 

There are many other sweaters in the shop ready to ship. 

 I've made more Toilet Tissue Toppers for the shop this month.  Above is perfect for Halloween Decor.  $8.  Check it out here.

 It's easy to dress your home for Christmas, too.  Here's a Tissue Topper in Red, Green, and White.  $8.  More images and information here

 This pretty blue Toilet Tissue Topper is also only $8 and available here.  This would make a lovely Baby Shower gift, too.

 I made this creamy white tissue topper, listed it in the shop, and it is already sold.  I'll make another for the shop soon.  

We have many Toilet Tissue Toppers available in a variety of colors.  $8 each. 

Kjell is still working on a variety of images with his laser.  The beauty above is a coaster that he made for us.

And, you may recognize Wendy from the blog header image.  She is quite pretty on a coaster, too.  He made this one for us.  

Kjell has quite a few more items in process in his workshop.  A little hint:  he's working on carving a beautiful Viking Goddess in wood right now.  Stay tuned....

Check out all of the items available in the shop and ready to ship now!

 We sincerely appreciate your encouragement, comments, clicks, likes, favorites, pins, and purchases, too!  When shopping for the holidays, other gifts, and for yourself, we hope you'll think of us.  Thank you for supporting our small business since 2011!     

All the very best,

Lois
