My little girl will be 15 months old this Christmas. I love to do crafts so I am thinking of making her some toys.
For her birthday, I made her a felt activity book. My mom made her some farm animal in crochet. Both gifts were a big hit.
For her activity book, I used mostly patterns from:
https://www.imagineourlife.com/quiet-book-patterns/
I used mostly her older patterns, ones that don't have small detachable parts (and aren't insanely detailed... I'm actually pretty lousy at sewing)
For Christmas, I was thinking of making more pages for her felt book. I also just nearly finished a corcheted doll. She is just missing the eyes. With some willpower, I might be able to wait until Christmas to give it to her.
I'll try to post pictures of the activity book and doll.
One day, when my sewing machine is fixed, I would love to make a large play carpet with roads, etc. I might also make houses out of felt or other fabric (and stuffed like stuffed animals) to put on the play carpet.
And as I mentioned in the play kitchen thread, I would love to make her a play kitchen. It might have to wait for next year though, since we might have to move soon.
In past years, I also made all my Christmas tree decoration by hand (knitting and sewing, mostly). I'll try to find pictures of that too.
Anyone else have some crafty ideas for Christmas?
