This
has been a week of Grandma Camp with my granddaughters and lots of fun
crafts. They have enjoyed time making
things as well as playing with dolls. They
made a birdbath by gluing tiles to a tin pie pan (from Goodwill)
and then
filling in with grout. It is lovely. Sorry
this photo does not show the bright colored tiles.
They each made sock
monkey heads (directions from American Girl crafts).
I provided directions, marking and pinning. She did all the machine and hand sewing and stuffing.
Lily insisted on doing some sewing like big sister so I helped her sew a doll quilt.
The younger granddaughter had cooking camp
in the mornings so the older granddaughter and I had some craft time for more
complicated crafts. Mattie used paint
markers to decorate a mini china tea set. The blank was leftover from her Great Grandmother and one tea cup has flowers painted by her.
I set up Mattie’s sewing machine next to
mine so we both could work and I found time to turn hand embroidered
pillowcases done by a great-great aunt into pillowcase tops for the girls.
Hope you get to enjoy some
sewing or quilting time.
Looks like a week of fun. Cherished memories!
