Welcome to the Thicket!
On the edge of our yard, where the lawn meets the woods, lies The Thicket. The Thicket is filled with pines and witch hazel, raspberries and forsythias, lindens and maples, and makes a delightful home for countless woodland creatures. In The Thicket, many Wee Folk, including fairies and gnomes, pixies and the occasional troll, live with an assortment of furry friends including deer and rabbits, raccoons and hedgehogs, mice and chipmunks, squirrels, and yes, even skunks! Birds of all types inhabit the trees and bushes, and toads and turtles find solace in the underbrush.
Another creature can often be found in this magical world. Although they do not dwell there, they are frequent visitors and are well loved by the woodland creatures. They are children.
Join the Wee Folk in The Thicket. All they ask is that you tread carefully, talk quietly, respect their privacy and listen to their tales.

Love the gnome house
Ahh, you've finally shared your gnome house! It looks so cool. I really like that little leaf rug that you have down on the first floor, with the embroidered felt leaves? Those leaves would make really cute harvest decor for the season...hmm..

Leaf rug.
I plan to share many of the items in the gnome's house, plus there are many more things I want to help them make. I originally made the rug to be our Wee Folk banner. Actually had Wee Folk Art appliqued in the middle. When we decided not to use it, the gnomes called dibs on it, I removed the words, and it was repurposed as a rug! The real quick instructions...cut out 2 leaves (I used real leaves for the patterns) from wool felt. Using a stem stitch, embroider the veins. Then put the two pieces on top of one another and blanket stitch them together. They could easily just lay hither and yon on a harvest table, or can be grouped together in any pleasing arrangement. I used old wood buttons for seeds and pods.
