Cookie Themed Thank You Gift

A "thanks for the rollerpin" gift for my 'mother in law'

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/cookie-themed-thank-you-gift • Posted by Maladignia

My 'mother in law' (my boyfriend's mother.. we're not married) is tidying up her home and lots of the stuff she 'finds' ends up in our household. Among those things was a rolling-pin which I've already used a couple of times. So I wanted to thank her and made this thingy. It has a keychain ring so it can be put on to almost anything (keys, bags, wall..). The charms are a bowl, mixer, wooden spoon and rolling pin made from clay. (Old, half-hardened clay... the frustration!) I was in a rush so I had to use the hairdryer to get them to dry fast so I could paint them. I'm specially fond of the little mixer. The cookies are made from fabric scraps. The rectangle is decorated with the blanket stitch and embroidery floss. The other one I left plain, even though it doesn't really resemble a cookie anymore... The chain and some of the blue beads are leftovers from a necklace from which I already used the other beads for a different project.
