A little Miscellany - cards and Loom Bands

Life seems to have overtaken me recently as mentioned in my last post, what with the big "0" party, visitors, my actual birthday, medical and dental matters, and then to add into the mix the  hospitalisation of my son-in-law with a burst appendix and peritonitis, so I have failed to blog.  So here is a little catch up!

Card for sick son-in-law

Whilst her mum was on anytime visiting, I had my granddaughter on a couple of days, and she taught me how to make some loom band charms.   We made a little dress each and an initial:

my efforts on right 

We then decided to make a couple of bracelets, in a technique we had already learned, but this time, using double bands for the edge to make it firmer.  It worked really well..  Shall do it this way again.

Also used the bands for some french knitting, to make this key fob, to which I added the dress I made earlier.

and another little bit of french knitting, using our young visitor's gadget


and finally my clever granddaughter, made this cover for her i-phone.  Brilliant isn't it!  Even the "button" fastening was incorporated into the weaving design, and I love the pointed flap.

Thanks for dropping by.  Now to upload some more bits on next edition!

"Looming"

Penguin charm
My eldest granddaughter came to play today,  when her mum dropped off Father's Day pressie, and this is what we got up to.

We had both computers on with videos running, and she made the really cute penguin charm.  Cute isn't it?

I made two bracelets:  First one using some beads from my stash (need to raid the girls pony bead stash - lol!) and second one is for OH's nurse in colour she requested.

My son also called in sporting a bracelet made by his eldest daughter (unfortunately no picture), but I only gave his daughters their loom yesterday - so well done to her.

Rubber Band Bracelets

First Bracelet

So having played with my granddaughter's loom yesterday, mine arrived just before lunch yesterday, and this is what I made in the afternoon.

Wouldn't the last one look great in peppermint and pink!
