Well, I am easing into Granny mode :-) I bought some Minky fabric and some flannelette and made three little blankets! Cute, eh? VERY cuddly too. They should keep the cool drafts away from a little person, even one who lives where it is warm and toasty lots of the time !

Not sure if you know Richard Scarry books but in his children's' stories, he has a little character called Lowly Worm. Lowly is MUCH beloved by my SIL and DD and they reckon that the Babe will love him too…so….I made a Lowly! Call me crazy , but this was fun. Have not made ANY sort of dolls in ages so I enjoyed this.

| Here he is! Lowly Worm! LOVE him :-) |
Just to show you that I HAVE done some serious work, here is the start of my hydrangea centres. They will get lots of stitching and some extra detail with pencil crayon.

These are only pinned in place. Stay tuned!

OK, I am posting this to WIP Wednesday on the
needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com. Enjoy the posts from this week.
Both my sons loved Richard Scarry and Lowly the worm:) Very very cute.
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangea centres look wonderful -- how small are they, anyway, eh? I guess anyone who can work with that sort of detail has no trouble sewing with slinky Minky... My kids loved RS too..especially the kitties. We're all big Cat People in our family! (Clearly Lowly Worm is indeed...um...lowly...because I don't remember him at all! LOL!)
ReplyDeleteRichard Scarry books were popular with my kids many many years ago. Great job on Lowly. Your hydrangea look amazing. Just lovely. Can't wait to see the end product.
ReplyDeleteGo gramma. My own grand kiddies are now fans of Lowly and all!
ReplyDeleteoh he is just so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteIt must be fun to sew for a grand baby! I've none yet.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colors in the hydrangea piece. It's going to be really pretty.
Congratulations on impending grand motherhood! Love the blankets! And Lowly Worm is super cute!
ReplyDeleteLowly had a big fan club at my house. You did a great job on him.
ReplyDeleteYou are a perfect granny-to-be. I don't know the worm but it seems to be a wonderful story and toy.
ReplyDeleteI love your Lowly worm, My kids grew up on Richard Scarry, Mr Fixed, Postman Pat
ReplyDeleteThomas the Tank, Beatrix Potter, Noddy. My hubby would make all the different voices when he read the stories, dad's just have a knack of making things so much more interesting, when us poor mom's are totally tired at the end of the day. Where did you find the pattern, he is so cute!
Baby B may have to arm-wrestle his Daddy for time with Lowly! Love it, and love the blankets so much! This is going to be one snuggly little boy. :)
