Nana's are Beautiful
Ohhhh, Terry you've given me a great idea!
But not sure how I'm going to pull it off. The mittens, hat, and scarf I can do like you and pick them up at thrift stores and yard sales. But the version of what you make I want to be more permanent. See several years ago I picked up a Sam the Snowman (Rudolf) snowman making kit. I let Darrin borrow it when he was very small. easy child didn't realize what a big deal that was for both of us. Me because I have a really big thing for Sam the Snowman (Burl Ives) and Darrin because I gave it to him. And well.......the important pieces that could not be replaced were lost. Such as the wooden "coal" eyes / buttons and wooden "carrot" nose.
It was a really great kit because it was in no way messy and you stored the pieces for the next year. But I don't know how I'd get the wooden eyes / buttons / nose parts. Those each had little pegs on them for sticking into the snow. Hmmm. I know each set of grands would LOVE to have a version. husband has no tools in which to cut out the wooden pieces.......nor does sister in law. But I think I'll start hunting around the craft dept at walmart and hobby lobby and such and see what I can scrounge up. Nichole loves crafty presents. This might be a good idea for her to gift.
I'm basically stuck on men. They drive me nuts every single year. Last year I hit it dead on with wallets, they were thrilled, I picked them up cheap and totally got lucky. lol This year, not much of a clue. I'm thinking on the hat / scarf for easy child's husband.....but yeah. phht. Men can be so hard.
