I need ideas for 2014 hand made presents for my grandchildren
We have 10 grandchildren, so far! Ages 7yrs to 7 months, boys and girls. For the last few years I have made them all the same type of gift,as well as a bought gift. Because their are 10 of them I like to start in January. Over the years I have made applique fleece blankets each, hats that were in the same colour scheme of red and ivory chunky yarn, personalised Christmas pillowcases, polka dot pyjamas and then this year I feel I surpassed myself with hooded towels. They were amazing and I was so proud of them.
My dilemma is what do I make them dot 2014. This may sound silly but I do like to get started.

Many years ago I gave hand painted pillowcases to some of my friend's children. I was amazed to see that one of them was still going strong at Christmas(Brentford's polycotton!) and now being used by one of the grandchildren. I seem to remember I used Dylon fabric paint. (er...30? years ago!) I did wild animals for the boys and Peter Rabbit or similar for the girlsBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
