Needlework and Wood Working Update - March, 2022

 Good morning,

Here we go with the monthly Needlework and Wood Working Update featuring the items we have finished during the past month since the last Update.

Above is a Burgundy Flowers on Pink and White Afghan Blanket.  It is a favorite in the shop so after selling a similar one last month, I made another one and listed it.  Nine days later, it was sold.  Sooooo, I guess I'll have to find those colors again and make another.  ;)  Come see all the other afghan blankets we have available to ship now here.

This beautiful medium weight lap blanket is crocheted in diagonal stripes.  The muted colors of the sea blend beautifully with almost every decor.  It can be folded corner to corner to use as a comfortable shawl.  This will be a beautiful Fathers Day or Mothers Day gift.  $50.  More images and information here.

The hat above is new to the shop.  It's in super soft washable acrylic yarn that is non-allergic so will be comfortable to wear and easy to wash.  It matches the scarf below despite the difference in the image colors.  The scarf image is true to the real color.  More hat images here.  $36.

This scarf matches the hat above.  $36.  Check out the Hats Scarves Headbands section of the shop to see them all. 
Cloche Hats have been very popular again this month so I am working hard to keep them stocked in the shop.
The first is a bright red, the one above is whisper pink, and...
...this one is royal blue.
The fourth hat is a medium blue.  $8 each.  See the entire section of Cloche Hats/Chemo Caps here.

These are double thick, extra large pot holders that fit a man's or woman's hands. 

I have made these for us, too, and they are wonderful.  They are 100% cotton and are great for indoor cooking our outdoor grilling. 


These are also terrific as hot pads for your table.  $20/pair.  They are listed in our Home Living Entertaining section. 

 From the Wood Working Workshop this month, Kjell made two personalized tags for a customer.   Since the tags he made are personalized, I'm using our Elsa's tag for the image here.  More images and ordering information here.  $12.

And, this is a preview of great things to come.  This is a wood carving of the Nordic god Thor.  It will be available in the shop soon after more layers of finish are applied. 

So ends another busy, creative month here on the South Coast of Ohio.  Thank you for your encouragement, likes, favorites, comments, and purchases, too!  We are truly enjoying our very creative retirement!

Come see what else we have made here!

All the very best,

Lois

After seeing what is being produced in your respective "shops" Lois, you and Kjell hardly seem retired these days. But doing what you enjoy is never considered as work. All lovely pieces shown in this post.
