Brigid made me a set of hairclips and brooches in polymer, using a tiny mould she has of a rose. Once out of the mould, the roses are baked in the oven, then attached to pins. 
Fionn made me a brooch from some of his lego! The lego is glued to the base, and a pin is attached to the back.
It looks really amazing.
Niamh stitched me a pincushion and a needlebook. They are both strong and secure - great stitching and really useful. I have been using them in making the quilt.
Veronica used fabric paint, a paper doiley and calico to create a stencil that her mother stitched to a backing fabric to make a placemat. At the moment I have this on the wall behind my desk so I can look at it.How lucky am I?

belated happy birthday, what talented grandchildren you have so lovely to have things they have made. I am sure you will treasure them all
Happy birthday! The grandies have made some beautiful and very special gifts for you.
What wonderful presents! Lucky Granny!
Happy Birthday! What a great haul. :) I particularly like the Lego brooch. The Lego Movie is out next week, and I am dying to see it! It looks really funny, and I expect it to be clever too.
How nice that they all made the gifts. Is that a family tradition?
Thanks everyone for comments and birthday wishes. I'm not sure how long it takes to create a tradition, Monica. My daughter has been making these gifts with the children for 3-4'years.
Such sweet, adorable and wonderful gifts! Happy belated birthday :)
So good to see that the children are making things, so often the tele takes precedence.
I bet you'll cherish those gifts, I know I would
Briony
