Needlework Update - July, 2026

 Good morning,

Welcome to the current Needlework Update!  This is where we share needlework items completed since the last update.

Work in Process - Pink Baby Blanket and Matching Doll

Good morning,

I'm now working on a pink and white baby blanket that will have a matching doll.  This is such pretty yarn! 

I finished the blue and white blanket and turtle that I featured a few days ago.  The images are taken, but not yet formatted for the shop.  I have to write the listing, too.  Just making the items is only part of the process of getting hand made items into the shop.  

There is a blanket and doll set already in the shop in pastel colors.  There are nearly three hundred other items in the shop ready to ship now.  We have quite a few of them will be beautiful Mother's Day gifts.  Come take a look!

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Work in Process This Week - Baby Blanket and Turtle

 Good morning,

I'm working on another baby blanket and will make a turtle to match.  This will be available in the shop when finished.  We have many other items in the shop for babies, children, and adults ready to ship now.

I love the colors in this one.  My mind is always planning way ahead of how fast my fingers can crochet and knit.  I think this color combination will make a beautiful large afghan blanket.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?  I love hearing from you, seeing your blogs and learning about what you are making!  

 All the very best,

Lois

Work in Process - Baby Blanket and Doll

 Good morning,

These sell out fast, so I'm back on a roll making baby blankets and matching toys.   This baby blanket will have a matching doll toy.  These make lovely gifts!  When finished, it'll be in the shop.

We have nearly 300 other items in the shop now that are ready to ship.

Work in Process This Week - Baby Blanket

 Good morning,

This week's Work in Process is a baby blanket.  I'll make a toy turtle to match which will make it a lovely baby gift.  There are other blankets and sweaters for babies and children in the shop ready to ship now. 

I am also waiting for sunny days to photo hats that I've finished, but have not yet listed.  I like to photo them in both natural light and with flash to show the stitch details.  

I have more ideas than I have time!  On my agenda are more baby blankets, turtles, dolls, and a large Brilliant Garden Afghan Blanket.  Someone wrote and asked me about a large afghan blanket with brilliant flowers and a bright green border similar to a lap blanket already in the shop.  So, that one is perking in my mind while I'm making other items.  

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement, comments, shares, likes, pins, favorites, and purchases, too!  Our shop is very special to us as we enjoy our retirement from our professional lives.  And, a reminder, this is our Evensens Productions Fifteen Year Anniversary on Etsy!  To celebrate, we have a sale running for March only, 15% off!  Use this coupon code at checkout:  0326ANNIVERSARY15.

What are you making, baking, growing this week? I love reading your blogs and hearing about what you other creative people are doing!

All the very best,

Lois

All the very best,
