The Making Granny

Another of my Granddaughters saw some tiny log slice earrings in a shop in Finland and thought it would be an excellent thing for Granny to make for her! I like a challenge and so I set about the task. First I had to find a suitable stick... Then I used the band saw to make 4 slices and carefully sanded each side. Next I drilled a small hole into the top of each one... I burned Christmas trees on each side of one pair and small downhill skiers on the other pair, as my granddaughter is an avid skier, adding a little sparkle to the Christmas trees using sparkly gel pens. A coat of varnish finished them off before adding the silver plated earring hooks purchased previously. I shall definitely be making some more with different themes in the future. As always, if you have any questions please post a comment and I will do my best to answer them.

Yesterday I was asked to make a little gift for one of my Granddaughter’s friends who was coming for a sleepover. I found this easy knitting pattern for the bunny which took no time at all to make up. I embroidered the eyes and nose on before I sewed it together. The knitting pattern can be found here:  https://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/free_knitting_patterns/tiny_knitted_toys/ I also found a knitting pattern for the little dresses and learned 2 new knitting stitches in the process - always good to learn something new.

Any scraps of material can be used to make the matching mattress, pillow and duvet, adding a bit of lace as a finishing touch!
