This is the collection of what we've finished since the last update.  We've been busy recently so haven't finished so many things this time, but have more things in the works that you'll see next time.

Above is a large afghan blanket of pink flowers bordered in red.  It will be a beautiful Valentine gift and will be lovely to display throughout the year.  More information and images here.  $185.  Only one available. 

 This generous size lap blanket is in green and white for your favorite leprechaun or for anyone who goes to a school whose colors are green and white.  :)  More images and information here.  $65.  Only one available.

This Cloche Hat is new in the shop this month.  These are lovely to wear under a hoodie or to bed in very cold weather.  It's a great helmet liner and may also be used as a chemo cap.  Only $8.  This one is here.

We have more Cloche Hats in a large variety of colors and sizes here.

 Kjell made a new sign for our gate across our driveway.  The circle in the middle is for a camera.  We can see who is approaching even before they get to the gate.

So, that's the round up this time.  We hope you'll shop with us for Valentine's Day and every day.  Come see it all here:  https://EvensensProductions.etsy.com.
