Needlework and Wood Working Update - April, 2020

Good morning,

Times sure are "different" with the stay-at-home orders aren't they!  We are so fortunate that we are retired from our professions and have our retirement business at home.  We our daughter has been especially helpful getting many food and other everyday things we need.  We are healthy and plan to stay that way by following the President's our Governor's and CDC guidelines.  If we all do our part, we will get through this as we have gotten through so many other crises before.

We've been busy creating, too.  Fortunately, I have a good supply of yarn already on hand and Kjell's wood stash takes up a good part of the basement.  This month I've made two hand knit Lacy Ladders Hat and Cowl Sets that were sold out a few months ago.  Above is Winter White and below is...
...soft Soft Brown Heather. $56 per set. To see more images, these are in the shop here:  Winter White, Soft Brown Heather.
A beautiful new hand crocheted large size lace shawl in the colors of a Sunset At Sea is new this month, too.  What a lovely gift for someone very special.  $60.
New baby or one on the way?  This six months size Baby Sweater and Hat set is new in the shop this month.  $40.
 This Lap Blanket can also be a perfect Baby Blanket.  What a lovely gift for Mom or Grandma for Mother's Day or as a Thank You to someone who has done something wonderful for you.  It's a generous size at a reasonable price, $55. 
 It has been quite some time since Kjell restocked the hand turned pens in the shop.  This and the next pen are Black and White Ebony in the very popular Gatsby Grande Style.  Each pen is $46.  What a lovely gift for anyone, especially a physician, nurse, clergy, accountant, lawyer, actuary....  The pen above is here.
And, this similar pen is here.
Kjell also restocked three more stands for wood art.  We have them in a variety of sizes available in the Wood Wall Art and Signs section of the shop.

We've stayed busy creating at home this month although the shop has been understandably very slow.  We are using this quiet time to restock the shop and are so appreciative of you who are still shopping.  On line shopping is an excellent way to get what you want and need as well as to send gifts for Mothers Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and especially as thank you gifts to those who have been so helpful in these difficult times.  To make it even easier, a gift wrap option is available at checkout.  Whether you shop with us or not, we hope you'll support small businesses.

Stay well, stay safe, stay strong.

All the very best from the South Coast of Ohio,

Lois
