Kids Blowing Glass at the Banana Factory

March 24, 2009 by lori greenberg

cg090324a1How old do you have to be to learn glass blowing?  At the Banana Factory in Bethlehem, PA, you might be surprised.  Here is 6 year old Rhys Williams learning how to blow his first glass piece.  His mom chronicles his work and her doubt as to whether it was such a good idea as she watches him in front of a 2100 degree kiln!  Folow the story at the news site mcall.com.

Are you children interested in glass blowing?  Check your online yellow pages for hot shops around you…they might just have something geared towards kids.  You never know, and the Banana Factory proves it!

Etsy Spotlight: Goose Baby Lovey PDF Pattern

Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.

This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.

Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
