I have been looking for ideas for a new addition to the website. I would like to do a page for children. I'm not just talking about sweaters, hats, mittens, and scarves. I want to make playthings for the kids.
I am making a hand puppet for my little niece. I have found a pattern, but I'm going to be late with the present. I tried a puppet and failed. My rounds started getting bigger and bigger. I have no clue where I went wrong so I had to start a new puppet. (I'm that kind of crocheter.)
So it got me thinking what other "toys" I can make. I have a pattern for sock monkeys. I don't know what people would like to give their younger relatives. I am a person who treasures the past so I think it is great to give them a keepsake that will stand the test of time. How many of us have seen Antique Roadshow? Some of those dolls and toys are worth thousands of dollars. Of course, my things will never a monetary value, but it could create a wonderful memory for the little ones or even the big kids in our lives.
Tell me what other toys or dolls you would like to see on the website for purchase.
P.S.- When my puppet is done I'll put up a picture for all to see.
