Grandparenting from a distance using dolls

From Afternoons, 1:50 pm on 19 November 2021

Lynn Jarvis has a creative way of 'grandparenting from a distance' and keeping in touch with her 4-year-old granddaughter Alyssa in Australia.

She's creating hand-knitted dolls clothes for a doll that Alyssa has named Emma. She then photographs Emma wearing different outfits around Wellington!

Jesse speaks to Lynn about how she got the idea, and her new small business where she is selling her creations.

Lynn Jarvis is creating hand-made dolls clothes, and doing photoshoots around Wellington to keep in touch with her granddaughter Alyssa.
