Having our grandchildren at home every Monday in August gave me the opportunity to see Félix and Violette and offered them some new equipment.
The sleeping bag is finished and was tested in the garden with the campfire. During this visit, I had the idea of a quick-made boat for some adventures. Capucine loved it a lot and will with no doubt invent new stories for her dolls.
De nouvelles réalisations pour les poupées Zazobouzi.
I have add the third color, a blue wool, to the hammock and begun to tie the fringes.
J'ai ajouté la troisième couleur, un bleu pâle, sur les franges du hamac et ai commencé à nouer.
We spend some funny times playing angling game. I had already made some fishes, mermaid, octopus... during 2017-2018
and wanted to sew some "surprise" fishes with one side kind of pocket to put some candies.
Three were made, great success with the kids and a facecious grandpa succeed fishing her granddaughter and hide her pacifier among the fishing
On another day we made some paper bags to play shopping, decorated with old stamps I used to play with 55 years ago!
September is DD3 birthday's month, so I had a card to make. A good opportunity to play with paper, cardboard and fabric and discover the U shape card with some internet tutos.
Kind of violet (her favorite color) miror paper, paper buttons and spool with real green threads.
The card is folded to fit into the envelope.
Un peu de cartonnage pour fabriquer une jolie carte d'anniversaire pour les 24 ans de notre cadette.
Un dernier petit cadeau, un peu de ciel bleu et de soleil, nous sommes bien arrivés en vacances en Haute-Normandie comme vous pouvez le voir sur les vitres du musée des pêcheries de Fécamp.
A last gift, some blue sky and sun, we have nice holidays in Haute-Normandie, as you can see on this pic I took in Fécamp.
You make such lovely things, your grandchildren must have great fun visiting you. Great picture of Fécamp.

RépondreSupprimerEnglish lesson - "bangs" is American for the hair style, rather than the fringing on a rug. English people use "fringe" for both things.
What a great grandmother you are, making such beautiful things for your grandchildren.
RépondreSupprimerThe card you made for your DD is so beautiful.
