- The kind of toy I make are models out of candle-greace. First a candle is got and it is put into an old saucepan. It is heated over the fire until it is quite soft. It can be formed into any kind of toy. The model I can make best is a top.

- The daisys are gathered first then there is a hole in the stem of the daisy and thread another to that one and put a hole in the stem of that one and thread it to another one and so on in the same way. The making if the daisy chains are not gone out of fashion.
