I am making hobby horses for the grandbabies for Christmas. I’m trying very hard to make most of my gifts this year, and if I do buy, to buy American made…but this is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. I add a new character to each of their Nativities each year, and those are Fontaninis from Tuscany!

So here is a collection of photos from hobby horse number one. It appears to take several evenings to complete one, but the pattern will be available the first of December, so if anyone is interested in making one themselves, there should be plenty of time to get it done before Christmas. In the mean time, here’s a few snippets!
