Work in Process This Week - Baby Blanket and Turtle

 Good morning,

I'm working on another baby blanket and will make a turtle to match.  This will be available in the shop when finished.  We have many other items in the shop for babies, children, and adults ready to ship now.

I love the colors in this one.  My mind is always planning way ahead of how fast my fingers can crochet and knit.  I think this color combination will make a beautiful large afghan blanket.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?  I love hearing from you, seeing your blogs and learning about what you are making!  

 All the very best,

Lois

Needlework and Wood Working Update - May, 2017

Good morning,

Time flies when you're retired.  We are loving every minute of retirement while also working to create items for our on line shop, EvensensProductions.com.  So, I guess we aren't really retired, we are now self employed and are enjoying it tremendously.  :)

The item above is still in the test phase.  It's a fruit bird feeder that My Honey made in his wood workshop.  We have been testing different areas of our garden to find where the birds can enjoy it and My Honey can take pictures of them.  After further development, we expect to feature these in our shop.

The sweater of the month is Bright Sky Blue.  It is a unisex sweater that fits 34"-38" chest sizes.  Click the image for more information.

 A few weeks ago we sold out of these hand crochet Find It Keep It Baskets.  They can sit on a table or hang from your door knob where you can find your keys, phone, or other important items.  There is a "button hole" in the top rim that will fit on your door knob (see images with listings in the shop).  That "button hole" lays flat in the top rim when the basket is sitting on a table.

These are also great for wrapped candies or cough drops, baby items, or whatever you want to keep where you can find it.

 You can find these listed in the Home Living & Entertaining Section of our shop.

We have two new colors of yarn this month!  Above is a gorgeous Purple, Magenta, and Blue...

...and these shades of Purple and Pink are just gorgeous, too.

I am taking orders for other items to be made from this yarn.  Both of these new colors are perfect for sweaters, hats, and caps or other items.  Let me know if you'd like something made especially for you.

Six sets of this color Luggage ID tags were sold this month so here's another in the shop to restock.

We were totally sold out of these so I've made more in different colors to restock.

It's travel season so order yours today!  They also make fantastic little gifts for friends and family who will be traveling.  They are also appreciated by cabin stewards and others you may meet on board cruise ships.

And, if you are a travel agent, contact me about having us make them in your choice of color and attaching your business (that you provide) for you to give to your customers.

These Luggage Identifiers are $5 for a set of 6 and are also available in the Home Living & Entertaining Section of our shop.

So many pretty colors!

And, finally, I made more cloche hats/chemo caps to restock the shop.

These caps are great bad hair day, dreaming, reading, sleeping, whenever you want to wear them hats!  ;)

These are popular with teens, too, as stylish cap.

We have more than 60 of these available in the Cloche Hats & Chemo Caps Section. $8 to $12 each.

That's it for the this month.  We're hard at work making more items for next month and are happy to take custom orders for what you'd like to have us make for you.

All the best,
Lois

Needlework and Wood Update - March, 2017

Good morning,

It's time for the monthly Needlework and Wood Update once again.  Be sure to scroll all the way down to see all the new wood items.

The item above is quite a brain teaser!  My Honey made this Executive Desk Top or Coffee Table Game of quality hard wood so it will provide a challenge for years to come.  What a wonderful gift for the executive in your life, your spouse, your boss, your very intelligent children (it's fun to watch them figure it out), and yourself!  We get a kick out of the one we have in our living room because every time someone comes in, he/she has to try it.  The one pictured above is available in our shop as of this writing.

 

 The Lady Bug Sweater Jacket above and matching hat below are a custom order in child size 10.

They were purchased by a wonderful grandma for a beautiful little girl. 

This month I also made two baby girl blankets and dolls.  One was a custom order, the other I made to restock the shop and is available at this writing.

What a beautiful Easter gift for baby!  Click the image above for more information.

Also perfect for Spring is this large afghan blanket.  Beautiful, warm, cuddly, and the color of Spring.

This is a toilet brush handle or broom handle topper.  Not only is it a darling conversation piece, it keeps your handle from marking the wall where it leans.

This Tuxedo Wine Bottle Cover and Hat is also new this month.  What a perfect table decoration when paired with our bottle dresses and hats available in many colors.

I do love turtles!  This little fellow hatched this month and is in the shop waiting for its forever home.

Also to restock are more luggage identifiers.  Lavender pictured above.

I have personal experience with these.  For only $5 for the set they are wonderful for finding your luggage among all the others in cruise and airport terminals.  I always have one on my carry on to show to the porter who then quickly locates the other pieces of my luggage.  Royal Blue Luggage Identifiers are pictured above.

This pretty wood box is not available in the shop...

...because My Honey made it for me and filled it with chocolate for me for our anniversary.  Awwww.  How sweet of him!  :)

Kjell also made three more security key chain whistles for the shop...

...and, at this writing...

...one is still available in the shop.  These are hand turned of laminated hard woods and have 24kt gold plated hardware.

That's what we have been doing since last month's update.  It is wonderful to be home with family and where we can work on these projects we enjoy so much.  We enjoy making things that others find useful to have themselves and to give as gifts. Don't hesitate to ask if you'd like something made especially for you.

We appreciate you all who shop for gifts and for yourself at EvensensProductions.com and who "favorite" items in our Etsy shop.  "Favorites," sales, and reviews all help to keep our items at the top of search engines.

We also appreciate your "Likes" and "Shares" on our Facebook Page which also help keep our little shop visible on the Internet.

So, thank you for your encouragement!  Retirement is good!  Let us know if there is anything we can create for you.

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging.  ;)

All the best,
Lois

Needlework Update - November, 2016

Good morning,

Here we go with the Needlework Update for the month of November.  I always surprise myself when I see what we have made in the past 30 days.  Many of these items are in our on line shop, EvensensProductions.com.   We hope you'll come over and browse around.  You just may find the perfect gift for someone special or for yourself.

The gorgeous Tropical Flowers afghan above is new in the shop during the past 30 days.  The border is Caribbean Blue.  What a gorgeous piece for any room.

This generous size soft baby blanket also features the Caribbean blue border as well as soft raised flowers. 

These Zero Calorie Cupcakes were popular this month, too.

You can have these cupcakes forever, but you can't eat them.  What fun!  These were custom orders, but there is a set of them available in the shop, too.

This doggie sweater was a custom order, too.  The pup sent me a picture of herself wearing it and she is stunning!  OK, her people mom sent the picture.  ;)

 Here are two more hats to restock the shop.  Above is a Nordic Intarsia Knit style.

 This light green cloche hat features a pink flower with sparkly pink butterfly.  It serves as a beautiful chemo cap, too.

This is a custom order for luggage identifiers.  These make wonderful gifts for your traveling friends to be able to mark their luggage for easy identification when trying to find them at the airport or cruise port.

These nifty little items are to dress up the top of your toilet brush.  I made three of them and they are all sold already.

I'll have to make more!

Does anyone have a nifty name for these?

These Cob Web Catchers also sold immediately so I'll have to get to work making more.  They are to put on the end of your broom handle to be able to reach cob webs in corners near the ceiling.  They also protect your walls if you lean your broom against a wall when not in use.  They're made of washable yarn so can be washed and reused.

This November Needlework Update features only knit and crochet items since we were traveling most of the previous 30 days and Kjell was away from his wood workshop.  New wood items are appearing daily the shop now and will be featured in the December Needlework and Wood Update.

Shopping for holiday gifts for others or yourself?  We hope you'll stop in to EvensensProductions.com where we have more than 350 original hand crafted designs that you won't find anywhere else.

Thanks to all who have supported our little on line shop for the past five and a half years.  

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging.  ;)

All the very best,
Lois
