Needlework and Wood Working Update - February, 2022

 Good morning,

Welcome to this month's Needlework and Wood Working Update.  This is where we share what we've completed during the past month in our Needlework Studio and Wood Working Workshop.  

Above is something very new in the shop!  This is a hand crafted wood Bread Board and Knife that is lovely to use while serving fresh bread at the table.  I love the fact that the knife has its own storage space on the board.  The knife also comes with a guard for the very sharp cutting edge.  $90.  Only one available here.

 This is a similar bread that was a custom order and has been delivered.  
This is our bread board.  Kjell made this one for us and I just love it!  I make bread several times a week so it is terrific to have this lovely board to cut slices exactly as we want them for toast, sandwiches, french toast (thick slices!), etc....

 This pretty bowl is something else that Kjell made for us. Lovely!  I'm hoping he will make another for the shop.

This Shades of Turquoise Large Afghan Blanket is in the shop and ready to ship.  It's a favorite color combination for me so I especially enjoyed making it.  $165.  More images and information here.

The hat above was a custom order that has been delivered.  The colors just "work" so beautifully together!

I made a similar Wool Blend Nordic Knit Intarsia hat for the shop.  $40.  More images and information here.

This knit sweater in super soft yarn was also a custom order and has been delivered.  This yarn will also make marvelously soft hats and scarves.  Those are on my To Do List.  ;) 

Just in time for Valentine's Day!  This lovely Pink Bobbles Scarf is crocheted of heavy super soft and warm.  $36.  Only one available here.
This matching crochet bobbles hat is so very soft and warm.  $36.  More info and images here.

Here is a knit cables version in the same gorgeous thick pink yarn.  $36. More info here

This is a Knit Eyelets hat in the same soft, warm, heavy pink yarn.  $36.  Available here.
Also in the same pink yarn is another style.  This is a Cloche Hat/Chemo Cap that is especially warm and comfortable.  $14.  More info and image here.
This similar hat is crocheted in executive gray.  $14.  Available here.
Again, a similar hat, but this one is crocheted in wool blend yarn.  $15.  See more about it here.
Pretty colors are also safety colors in this hat.  $8.  More about it here.
This lovely blend of colors coordinates with a scarf and other hats in the shop in the Hats Scarves Headbands section.  This hat $8.  Available here.
And, finally, we have two more tissue toppers to restock those recently sold.  Royal Blue $8. here.

Pink Toilet Tissue Topper $8.

We have even more Toilet Tissue Toppers in a wide variety of colors here.  $8. each.

See our entire shop of more than 300 items here. Order today and we'll get your Valentine gifts in the mail within 24 hours.  Gift wrap option is available at checkout. 

When I get all of these images together each month I often surprise myself at how many items we have created.  We truly do enjoy our retirement shop.  In fact, I refer to it as our "retirement gig."  We have the opportunity to be creative, design and make things we love to use ourselves, and offer them on line.  We are so very honored that so many people in the USA and world wide have chosen to purchase our items for themselves and gifts.  Thank you so very much.

We'll be back next month with pictures and information about items we are working on right now.  

All the very best,

Lois

I just LOVE my knit hat that you pictured above. It has "me" written all over it! And I've gotten lots of use out of it in this frigid weather.

Thank you, Anni and Sherry.
Sherry, it was a pleasure making your hat for you. :)
