A Lowly Worm was made this morning by a little girl and her nana. Her mama helped a little, too. Unfortunately, the pattern for Lowly had been torn out of the book so we had to wing it. But he turned out just right.
Chris -- thank you. The feather came out of a nearby vase of northern flicker feathers... and the making was so much more than just making, you're right!
The first of many things you'll make together! I think of those cute little knitted dolls I used to make (knitted bodies, t-shirt type cloth for the head, all stuffed with wool) or the acorn headed navity set -- how much fun that would be to make with a grandchild!
we have a long love affair w/lowly & friends in this family...going back to my worn beloved "busy busy world". blue just came over to look, "pretty cute!" -big praise from a 13 yr. old boy!
Hah! And he even has a feather in his cap. . . Richard Scarry's books were on my daughter's (and now, granddaughter's) shelves, too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it----and all the making implies.
Dear www. What a darling project and working with your granddaughter on it must have been precious. Janet S. Dak.

ReplyDeleteJanet, it will be a cherished memory, the first time we've made something of this magnitude! Where in SD? -- my husband is from Mitchell.
ReplyDeleteTrish, aren't they the best? Hang onto yours, they'll never stop being wonderful! And thanks.
ReplyDeletehe's fabulous. i keep going back to look at him.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE HIM!!! My son loved the RS books and Lowly Worm was just so adorable. You've really captured him :)
ReplyDeletePS On a visit to Elk Point, SD we stopped in Mitchell and visited the Corn Palace (of course!) on our way home. :)

ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories, big time -- how you could spend a half-hour on one page looking at all the detail in the Busytown Book, remember that one?
