The other day I shared our latest gnomes… the Old World Wooden Gnomes. In the past we’ve made Peg Gnomes, Knit Gnomes, Sewn Baby Gnome Dolls, and Michelle even designed Gnome Pillow Panels that you can buy from Spoonflower to sew and stuff. So, it only seems natural that we would eventually have gotten around to making wooden gnomes 🙂 NOTE: For general instructions on how to …
Thanks to one everyone that entered this giveaway from Enchanted World of Needle Felting. Marie's work is so soft and peaceful, that it would be a joy to own anything she makes 🙂 So, of course, we would like to thank Marie for her talents and generosity. And now… the winner is… Submitted by This Cosy Life (Julie) …
EDIT: This contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone that entered 🙂 Several weeks ago, the very dear Marie, from Soft Earth's World Blog, was a guest blogger on Wee Folk Art. She shared the tutorial on making the Blue Bird of Happiness. It was a wonderful project and Michelle and I were so grateful …
“When I was a kid”… boy, that sounds like something your dad would start out a conversation with when he was trying to make a point of “how easy you kids got it today”, right? Let’s try this again… “back when I was a child” (sounds better, right?) all we needed was a piece of chalk, a ball, and a jump …
I just completed my first project from More Knitting in the Sun: 32 Patterns to Knit for Kids… a summer weight shrug for Fairy-girl, my little ballerina. It turned out adorable… but a bit big (sarcasm here). Huge is more like it. I really should have paid more attention to the finished chest sizes rather …
There are two things I came to realize today. First, I'm not nearly as good as Tim at woodworking (okay, so I've known that all along!), and second, it really doesn't matter! I pulled out the jigsaw for the first time this season. I only woodwork when I can work outside. As I started cutting my …
This was first posted on April 27, 2009, on my now retired blog One Generation to Another. I hope you enjoy 🙂 I love gardening. But who can blame me? Time began in a garden, at least biblically speaking. God did not plop Adam and Eve down in the desert. Nor did he choose a mountain …
As always, I want to thank everyone for entering the Hopscotch Game Giveaway, and give a truly heartfelt thank you to Debbie, at A Child's Dream, for supporting our efforts here at Wee Folk Art and for her generosity to our readers. So, without further ado (don't you love the word ado?) the winner is… Hopscotch!! …
Although it may not seem like it since we still post most weekdays, Michelle and I have been able to direct our attention away from the blog the past few weeks and we've tackled other projects with gusto. Obviously, there has been a decrease in the number of projects we have been sharing, so we are delighted …
Normally I don't knit much in the summer. It's hot and my energy is usually more focused outdoors. This year has been different. I don't know if this has been because this season has been mostly cold and rainy so far or due to the fact that my Raverly Queue is continuously growing rather than …
This fall I will be teaching a knitting class at my children’s co-op. After typing up my syllabus for the class, it of course occurred to me that this would make an awesome series for Wee Folk Art. And then not only can I share my class with all of you, it will also double …
EDIT: The winner for this giveaway can be found HERE. Now, it's our turn to give Debbie, over at A Child's Dream, a big hug! She will be donating toys over to summer to make our "In the Good Old Summertime" a summer to remember! This week she is giving away a wonderful Hopscotch Game …
