A Reason....

I seem to need a reason to get busy and create. Here are a couple of the things I have handcrafted this season for my new grandson, Logan. This will be Logan's first Christmas.

I wanted to make him classic toys that are simple, whimsical and just right for his little hands.
"My Book" is a Simplicity pattern. All of the pages are not pictured. Each page is interactive with buttons, zippers, velcro, bells, crinkle paper and small stuffed animals. It is adorable, but beware this is a time consuming project...each page take about 3 hours to complete, and 8 hours to assemble the whole thing. I added the latch and monogram. Whew.
The Chunky Dolls are 3.5 inches tall and handpainted with waterbased, non toxic paint and sealed.
I will post more pics later. PS I made Derek a quilt but wrapped it before posting....I am a busy bee this winter!
