We are having a little warm weather this week and the spring flowers are taking advantage of it. These beautiful crocus beside our house have been delighting us for nearly 40 years.
Ah, yes Spring! But, we have had snow in April in the past so know things could change very quickly.
Happy Spring (or Fall) wherever you are!

We got a wonderful taste of Spring yesterday when the temperatures were in the 70's F.
Our Wendy immediately headed for the back yard for a little nude sun bathing.

If I didn't know better, I would think Wendy couldn't hold her booze.
But, I know better.
She's just totally relaxed in her recliner.

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.
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.
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.
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
My main project this week is a lap blanket for the shop. This one will be in the circles and squares design in shades of brown.
Since this is lap blanket size, it will be finished in the next few days. I have made so many large blankets lately that making a lap blanket size feels as if it is going very quickly - and I guess it is!
What are you making, baking, growing this week?

Every dog owner knows each dog has his/her own personality. Our Wendy is no exception. She's a funny little girl who likes to get up in chairs both inside and outside. When she gets up in a patio chair, she doesn't want to get down without her human (any one of her humans will do) holding the back of the chair so it won't tilt as she is jumping down.
Yesterday afternoon the girls had let themselves out through the dog door. A few minutes later I heard gentle barking (that's bark, pause, bark, pause) coming from the back yard. Upon inspection, I found Wendy waiting for her human to come out and hold the back of her chair so she could jump down.
It's a good thing we humans are so well trained!
