gnome diorama

great day at the beach here! I smell like burned flesh. I sat under the umbrella, but had to walk from the car park. The very far away car park. The beach was a popular place today. More tomorrow perhaps.

Here is a diorama that DS made from a Q-Tip box. I love his mushrooms and trees.

So we moved a few guys in.

And for a few home decor items, I made a pink needle felted mushroom. The crochet flower is actually a necklace. On 3 different colour strands of crochet chain. I couldn't get my finicky model to wear it. Another time.


Have a great day!

sewing, felting and WIP

Hi All,
steady go here...
One apron of a few that need to be made for teacher gifts. I gave bags last year, so aprons this year. this one if from Weekend Sewing, Heather Ross.

The waistband is folded over. I like this pattern. It's easy, but takes a fair bit of fabric.

A little needle felting. Ladybug, mushroom necklace, half finished bee ( DS lost the 1st one) and a half finished hedgehog in the back.


Mama decided to work in the garden today,


I love the little bun in her hair. She needs an apron and more hair on the front. Whenever.....

rainbow gnomes

Here are a few gnomes made with wool blend felt from Felt-o-rama. So much nicer than the acrylic stiff from the craft stores around here. I would splurge if I were you. And it's not that much of a splurge. Go for it.


And here are some needle felted gnomes. Not settled with the face, but I'm going to try another way next time I do it.

They are fun and easy to make.

And fun to arrange...


And a little bag to put them in.


Off to enjoy the sunshine.. again.

Mushroom house

I'm so excited that this worked out. It's still not done. Just a little door to go in. But it worked.


now I can make a bigger one. I don't know how these things are supposed to be done, so I fiddled my own way. Did I say, yeah it worked?!~!! lol

I told DS that it's not big enough for his gnomes. He called me to tell me that little blue did fit. When I got home, he had it stuffed in the stem. Yep, don't limit a child's imagination!

you will see this again. When I get the door finished. And I have to make one for DD and make a bigger one. oh and one that is white with red dots, and one for yellow and red and oh, could you make me a ........

love that they love that I make them things.
