More making and doing with Nanny

Much of April has been looking after our grandchildren, first Eloise and Samuel and then Hope.   As we were at the caravan most of the time was outdoors but there were a few times when we entertained inside with a bit of craft work.

I gave Eloise her first experience of using the sewing machine, making a patchwork pin cushion that was a giveaway on a magazine.   She had here foot on the pedal and managed to get the stitching fairly straight!   Sadly, no photos to mark the occasion.

We also had two sessions of decoupage, decorating a horse and a dinosaur with coloured papers.   They all managed very well without too much mess but thank goodness I purchased a PVC table cover for such occasions.
