Flower Gnomes

I love gnomes! It wasn’t until I was chatting to a friend about what I’d been making that I realised how much. I told her I’d been making gnomes (of course), and she said with kind, amused forbearance ‘you and your gnomes’. So there we have it!

And now for the introductions… flower gnomes and baby gnome with pet rabbit…

The gnomes and their homes (hee hee)…

Gnomes with sleeping bags…

And finally, a needle felted gnome. I know her blue face is a bit different, but it just felt right 😉

Hope you’re enjoying your week, Kelly

On the ‘go slow’

Since Christmas my crafting, knitting and baking pursuits have all been on the go slow.

My rainbow of gnomes is still slowly emerging. I’m knitting the violet gnome at the moment, and starting to sew them up.

Master D found red and orange, so they’ve already had rides in his truck and been nibbled by Little Miss Q. I hope reading about their slow emergence isn’t too painful for you all! (And yes I did knit one more bunny to make it a family of three for Little Miss Q).

One thing I have been enjoying over the past two weeks is reading. I’m loving A Game of Thrones. It has a fantastic Machiavellian plot 😉 And I luckily found some time at the beach to enjoy it’s twists and turns. And I’m also enjoying Beyond the Rainbow Bridge which I received at Christmas (thank you Husband of Mine).

Oh, and I have two bubs to knit for – I just found out an old school friend of mine is expecting and also a friend from work is, so I have to find a blanket or toy to knit for each of them. I might do a sampler style baby blanket like I made for Little Miss Q… but not sure yet…

Joining in with the Yarn Along 🙂

Warmly, Kelly
