To continue in my aim of catching up posts on some of our family's last six months:
For Christmas '09 I made a clown for our grand-daughter, Jenna. It was a nostalgic choice, because I sewed up this same pattern for Tammy and Michael as Christmas presents when they were small.
The same year I also made them for the children's cousins, Tammy and Russell,
who we were visiting in Adelaide for Christmas.

The pattern was from a Family Circle magazine that we still have.
The face and colourful fingernails are embroidered.

Tammy and Michael had their clowns for many years. I remember replacing several noses, feet, hat pom-poms, and at least one arm along the way!
I hope Jenna enjoys hers just as much.

I love these clowns so much!!! I love Jenna's clown's colours especially, and she won't go anywhere without it now which is so cute :) I can't wait until Maggie is old enough to appreciate one! Haha look at the E.T. doll in the bottom photo - imagine how much fun we could have with Bethany if we still had that! :) You're the best Mama & Gran xo
