Needlework and Wood Working Update - December, 2019

Good morning,

It seems most appropriate to begin this December's Needlework and Wood Working Update with this Santa's Wood Workshop carving.  Kjell made two of these this month.  The first is sold and the second is available in the shop here.  $54.

For those of you who know Kjell, you'll see a remarkable resemblance to our wood working Santa.  ;)

This 2nd Amendment Wall Art is a custom order that has been delivered.  We have another in walnut wood  available in the shop here.  $184.

Kjell made three more of these display stands for wood art for the shop this month.  They are  convenient to use if you prefer to display the art on a table or shelf instead of hanging on a wall.  In addition to selling them with our artwork, they are being purchased individually, also.  They are available here.  $30.

Here's a decorative Gear Clock that we will keep for ourselves.  Kjell has promised to make another for the shop.  It is just so very cool!  A typical item for an engineer to make, right?

Here's another item that we will keep for ourselves to display in our recreation room.  Again, he has promised to make another for the shop.  Beautiful!

This Large Lacy Black Crochet Shawl is new this month and is available in the shop here.  $60.  This is one of those timeless, classic items that is perfect with so many outfits and for so many occasions.

I finished this gorgeous Pink and Green Large Afghan Blanket this month.  It's definitely afghan weather now!  It's available here.  $155.

This Mulberry Cables and Lace Sweater and...

 ...boot cuffs and...

 hat and...

 headband are all part of a custom order that has been delivered.  We have other sweaters, hats, boot cuffs, and headbands available in the shop.

We truly appreciate your encouragement and support of our shop.  Thank you so much!

We were quite busy this month!  When I write this post each month I sometimes surprise myself when I see how many items we have completed since the previous update.  It's fun to be able to look back on these monthly posts over the years, too.


All the very best,

Lois

Elsa:  *eye to eye with me*  Mom, are you awake?

Me:  I am now.

Elsa:  I have to go potty.  Will you open the back door, please?

Me:  Sure.

We have such good pups. 

That Egg Salad Sandwich Sure Looks Good!

Good morning,

Catherine sat down in the living room with her egg salad sandwich to watch something on TV and had quite an audience.  Those ladies are Penny (closest), Elsa, and Wendy waiting for a crumb to drop.

Of course, they know Catherine will share the last bite with them.

Elsa Says It's Small Business Saturday!

Good morning,

This is sweet Baby Elsa peeking at me from below my keyboard tray at my computer desk.  She likes to help me when I am working at my computer.

Today she says, "It is Small Business Saturday! We hope you'll support small business this year."


Thank you,
Lois

Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning,

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!  We are so very grateful for all of our family and friends.

Once again, credit for a fabulous meal goes to our daughter, Catherine.  To accommodate family schedules, we celebrated one day early this year. 

All the very best,
Lois

Work in Process This Week

Good morning,

On my way out the door to a routine doctor appointment for My Honey yesterday I looked around for a quick project to take to work on in the waiting room. The current sweater is up to the neckline where I needed to count stitches so not a good waiting room project right now.  I grabbed the yarn you see above to make a lap blanket in shades of brown and gold (the lighter yarn in the image above).  It's very pretty yarn and I love working with it!  I had purchased a small amount of the yarn to see how I like it.  I like it!  To provide a little more weight to the lap blanket, I'm striping with knitting worsted weight yarn.

 

 You may remember the sweater mentioned above from the last WIP post.  I've finished the front neckline since I got home from that appointment.  The front and back are now joined with a three needle bind off at the shoulders and I've started the first sleeve.

 And, finally, I finished the Pink Flowers Afghan Blanket and it is in the shop.  Yay!  That one seemed to take forever because it was too big to be portable to work on wherever I went.  I worked on it every time I got back to my studio when I wasn't working on my computer.

So, this has been a week of progress in the Work in Progress department.  It feels so good to have a "finished project" once in awhile, doesn't it!

What are you making, baking, growing this week?  For those living in the USA, I'm betting there is some turkey in the plan this week.  Happy Thanksgiving week!

All the very best,
Lois
