I did a little updating on my gnome friends. Here's what they used to look like.
I'm now using boiled wool suiting for the leaves and stitching with my machine. I'm using a straight stitch, but on a stretch stitch setting. It makes 3 stitches instead of one and makes it stand out more.
Instead of making the hat from felt, I'm making it from leftover sweater bits.
I love the ribbing and how it tips at the top.
Oh look, they have a new home. I actually bought the toadstool last year at the farmer's market here. It lived in Toronto with us a for a while, now it's back home.
The gnomes can sleep in the bags, use it as a rug and it can be worn around the neck.
Good night little gnomes!
Have a good one,
Amanda
I love this! So very cute.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I found you over at Natural Suburbia. Where is Shelburne? My family and I just moved to Halifax from the US (temporarily).
ReplyDeleteThose are some crazy-cute gnome friends!
ReplyDeleteI'm really into little gnome peg dolls right now and these are adorable! I am getting ready to craft a few as we speak for holiday gifts, I think instead of leaf pocets I will do either a stocking or if I can manage a snowflake, thanks for the inspiration!
