As you know I knit mice. My grandmother made them (around 2,500 of them) and I have been at it for a couple of years now (not even 10% of 2,500 yet). There are however so many other nice things to make as well. Not just knitting, but crocheting or sewing. I am not the best at the latter two, but the knitting is okay. I can do that.
Back in the winter I was a bit bored with the mice and wanted to make something else. As I was making a few small Christmas tree ornaments, I thought I could adapt one of them into making a nativity scene.
So I got going. The first I thought of making was Mary, baby Jesus and Joseph. And they looked alright. Next were a king, then an angel. Then I made the rest. A shepherd, more kings. I made several sets in the end. And yes, they will come up for sale on Mice for Mama. In November! Just so you know.

Call in sick! Or just do it in front of the television.
DeleteYour nativity pieces are great. I can't wait to see the whole scene.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Those are so super cute! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThey are 4 inches high! I was going to make the very first set to sell, but I loved them so much, I kept them for myself.
DeleteVery nice, I like them.
ReplyDeleteThese little dolls are so cute !!
ReplyDeleteThose are very cute and would make perfect Christmas tree ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThey would, but I prefer to have them standing in their little group.
DeleteGood job, Mara. We have a set that was made by my friends late mother.
ReplyDeleteI have two sets now: one that I made back in the '90's and which is about 10 inches high and then this set, which is based on the other set, but smaller: only about 4 inches.
