Gnome Leprechauns


I know Britta must be thinking... why would a perfectly lovely lady (me) knowingly encourage leprechauns to run amuck in the Thicket? Well.... because at heart, I think we all have a little leprechaun in us, especially at this time of year! So, I would like to introduce you to our little Gnome Leprechauns. And, yes, we do have multiple leprechauns in The Thicket, although it seems the ring leader of the group is this feisty little lad named Ronan. Ronan and his cohorts are country leprechauns, donning modified gnome hats, unlike the top hats and bowlers often seen on city leprechauns. (For those in the know... it looks a lot like a Gandalf or Sorting Hat :)

If you dare, you can make your own leprechaun... but be warned, Wee Folk Art accepts no responsibility to the havoc they may wreak! You can get the directions HERE or with our Free Patterns.

Leprechauns

K told me that he found a leprechaun on the playground yesterday. He was absolutely serious! They were chasing the leprechaun all over the playground, trying to catch him, but he was a trickster! One even bit his friend. He said that they live in caves under the ground. It was nice to see the imagination and belief in the 8.5-9yos. Sometimes I think that they are growing up too fast, but then something like this happens and I realize that they are still little boys! I need to make one of these and surprise him with it.

I LOVE your blog! Where can you buy the wooden pegs? I would enjoy making gnomes and leprechauns, but I haven't seen similar wooden pegs at any local stores.

Although there are crafting shops that do carry them, I buy all of mine from 2 sources.

The first is A Child's Dream. They are one of our sponsors and it is a beautiful shop for all kinds of natural crafting supplies. (See button on the right side bar.)http://achildsdream.com/doll_making/doll_bases_and_beads.htm

The other is Casey's Wood

They actually look really cute! I think we may have to invite a couple of leprechauns to visit our gnome home.

I know people tell you your crafts are nice all the time, but do you really appreciate how gifted you really are? My friends and I are in a constant state of awe. How does she do it? we all ask. You are a mega talent with a mega heart. You must be the most wonderful friend ever. Thank you for sharing. We are all learning so much and our children are reaping the benefits. No wonder Michelle is so talented too. THANK YOU, BOTH! Off to make some trouble for our gnomies ;)

Wonderful!

Thank you for the leprechaun patterns. I also wanted to send a big thanks for alerting us about Caseys where you get your turnings. I ordered some items and wow, did they come fast, and nicely packed. Couldn't be happier - a great source for wood products.

times like this make me really bummed I don't have access to a car, or I would be on my way to the craft store right now to buy up all the green felt so I can make a whole colony of Leprechauns :)
