If you hang out on the forum enough, you might already know that our 10yo granddaughter was visiting for a few days while on spring break when the world went into COVID lockdown. Her parents decided she’s probably better off here, so she has remained, and as a result I’m relearning fourth grade and getting a lot more exercise than I’m used to, because she’s a VERY active outdoorsy sort of girl!


So anyway, the other day she and Bop (my hubs) were exploring in the woods and she found a bunch of cool feathers. She brought them home and asked if we could make a headband to put them in.


Well, in my ongoing quest to be the AWESOMEST grandma, instead of reaching for the construction paper I dug into my leather scraps and took a brief break from making ear savers. This is the result:

Now I kinda want one!


EDIT: Well, darn. I just found out these are hawk feathers, and it’s illegal to possess them. Oops! It will be a good homeschooling lesson, and then I guess we’ll give them a decent burial and go find some less controversial feathers for her new headband.
