Needlework and Wood Working update - August, 2023

 Good morning,

Welcome to this month's Needlework and Wood Working Update.  This is where we share and record what we've made in our studios since the previous month's update.

Above is an engraving made by Kjell.  This one is on a tile, not on wood, and is a lovely coaster.  He worked from an image he took of me across the table when we were at lunch in Villefranche, France, while still aboard Splendour of the Seas. He's still working on his technique for turning photos into etchings and I love his work!

 This and the next carvings are on wood, then painted by Kjell.

 I think they are absolutely beautiful!
These have found homes in our recreation room/bar.
We are going to need more walls soon.

I've completed two large afghan blankets this month.  The Blue Lovers Afghan Blanket above was a custom order and has been delivered to the customer.
 

 This Large Yellow Flowers on Green and White is just finished and in the shop.  This has been a very popular color arrangement and I truly enjoy making it.  The colors are so cheerful.  $185 and ready to ship.  More images and information here.

 I've made a couple of smaller things this month, too.  They are intended to be used as small gifts/party favors.

Above is a dish cloth/wash cloth that makes a lovely gift at a wedding or baby shower luncheon.

 This is a crocheted key holder bracelet that is a good way to keep your keys close.  I'm testing this one myself.  So far, I really like using it!  I'll make a few more soon between larger projects.

So, that's it for this month.  Thanks for your encouragement!
