Flower plots and gnomes

Sometimes I feel that a week without gnome creation is a week wasted. Luckily this little gnomie was a quick knit *smile*

I also knitted up a couple of cuddly, snuggly gnomes for some babes (see here).

In non-gnome knitting, I’ve finished one flower plot ready for planting (of the needle felt kind), and started another. I am knitting 12 as part of the Knitted Farm Swap hosted by Carrie of Crafty Moms Share.

And I need to find a pattern (and some time) to turn this wool into a viking hat for Husband of Mine!

As for reading, I have finished Baking Bread with Children but am still enjoying dipping in to re-read little tidbits. Newly on the bedside table are A Storm of Swords and The Natural Child, parenting from the heart (which I was lucky to win from Faerymother).

Toys for babes

For sweet little handmade wooden toys you wouldn’t believe I broke 3 blades on the scroll saw in their creation would you?! All the same I think they will be played with happily, chewed and thrown around by a little one in the near future *smile*

And, I’ve already got a menagerie of other animals ready to emerge shortly 🙂

Otherwise, I am slowly knitting up a donsy of soft cuddly gnomies for little hands to grab, cuddle and hold (using this pattern).

Also, Husband of Mine has requested a viking hat and beard for his birthday (which is, eek! next week) ~ any suggestions on patterns (that are quick!)?
