Idelbrook Wendy Darling Evensen

Good morning,

That's our sweet Wendy in today's image.  What a sweetheart! 

I took this image shortly after we got home from the ship last month.  Wendy didn't leave my side for several days. 

It is good to be home.

Georgia Rest Stop Pansies

Good morning,

I took these pictures of pansies at a Georgia rest stop in early November.

Since we live in Ohio, we generally don't see blooming pansies at this time of the year.

These appear to have just been planted. 

Very nice!

Giant Apple Pie

Good morning,

Here's another picture from Freedom of the Seas.  I took this one with my phone the last week we were on board.

Nothing is small on board a ship including the desserts! 

This apple pie only lasted a few moments when the serving began. Yes, it was served with vanilla ice cream.   It was delicious!

Man's Best Friends

Good morning,

The first half of November was just beautiful in Cincinnati.  The weather was warm and the skies were blue.  We had fun sitting out on the patio with the dogs just after we had gotten home from the ship. 

The sunlight was bright when I took these pictures.  Look at how shiny Erik is!

Of course, Dad had some treats...

...so Dad was a very popular guy with Erik, Penny, and Wendy.

 It is so good to be home.

Christmas Tree on the Bridge - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

I took this picture last year of the Christmas Tree on the Bridge of Freedom of the Seas. 

Beautiful!

Enjoy,

Penny's Retirement

Good morning,

We celebrated another retirement recently in addition to My Honey's.  The cake above is in celebration of our Penny's retirement from competing in agility trials.

She will still go to the club and run in practice runs for fun, but she is nor formally retired as an AKC Master Agility Champion 3 and Preferred Agility Champion 2.  She has had a wonderful competitive career and continues to enjoy the club, seeing her friends there, and the practice runs.

Penny received plenty of liver cookies while celebrating her retirement.  She also provided the cake for her human friends at the club.

Penny's trainer, Catherine, did the honors for the cake cutting.

Congratulations to both Penny and Catherine!

Love and hugs,

Lois/Mom

Needlework and Wood Update - December, 2016

Good morning,

Here we go with this month's Needlework and Wood Update.  We've had quite a bit of travel during the past month, yet still have a few things to show you.

Above is a custom order sweater that has been delivered to the lovely lady who ordered it.

I restocked the shop with more Luggage Identifiers...

...in many different colors.

 Most of the luggage identifiers sold immediately when they went into the shop.  I'll be making more soon.  If you want a specific color, let me know.

 I also made two sets of patriotic can cozies.  These also work on bottles and glasses.

A couple more caps came off of my crochet hook. 

And, this is something new.  It's a Cob Web Catcher that you slip onto the top of your broom to reach the corners near the ceiling.  I've made quite a few of them and they are already sold.  Yes, I'll make more!

Kjell is home to his wood workshop now, too!  This is a Pen and Pencil Set.  They are hand turned of Bethlehem Olive Tree Wood.  Gorgeous!

 One set is already sold, the other is in the shop and available at this writing.

My Honey made two more sets of salt and pepper shakers, too. 

So, that's the Update for the month of December. 

We have more than 300 items in the shop available to be shipped immediately.  We hope you'll stop by and take a look at EvensensProductions.com when you're doing your holiday and other shopping.

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging.  ;)

All the very best,
Lois
