so lucky
Almost Self-Reliant
I got the crazy idea of making some of the little grandkids "stick ponies" (hobby horses) for Christmas. I used the instructions I got off you-tube. It was pretty easy, but trying to make them sturdy enough for the rough housing I know they will go through was challenging. I finally got them done today, 2 in brown fleece, and 2 in tan, with wild multicolored yarn manes and "glass" bear eyes. I tied a handkerchief around each one's neck and sewed it in place, partly for looks and partly to hide the workings. I even made halters out of braided cotton clothesline. Now some of my older grandkids told their mom they would like to have a sock bunny made by Grandma. So I get to start on bunnies tomorrow. Better late than never, I guess!
Several of the kids got sock monkeys last year. That was fun, too.
