GNOME SWEET GNOME...

Greetings, dear readers!

As promised, here are a few of the projects I've been working on...but be sure to read to the end of the post...there is something AMAZING I want to share with you...

 

 

 

And now, as promised, the piesta resistance...a dear friend of mine gave me this delightful treasure for Christmas...she found it in a library sale...for a QUARTER! (Which makes me love it even more)

 

The book is FULL of beautiful color pictures of gnomies and their "homies"...

 

Adorable projects...look at this sweet little mouse inside a gnome hat!

 

And this beautiful picture frame...

 

And just look at this wonderful little pillow...I just LOVE the pattern the gnome hand to hand gnomes make !

 

The colorful illustrations are frame worthy...

 

And all the colors are the vibrant, bright colors of dutch art. Just look at this adorable puppet cabinet...

 

 

And here's the best part...patterns! All the patterns are still intact in the book! Patterns for embroidery,

 

Patterns for wooden signs...

 

Paint by number patterns...

 

Aprons...for mom and daughter...and the patterns for the embroidered pocket motifs...

And patterns for felt gnomes that can be strung as garlands...or used on quilts...

 

 

Even patterns for quilt blocks...I may choose to make them out of paper...and have a dutch gnome block party!

I am in the process of checking copyrights, but I think the book is old enough that I can share the patterns with you as long as I give due credit to the authors/creators...isn't this EXCITING?!?!

I hope you'll stay with me as we travel this woodland path together!

Hugs,

Paula Clare
