Wishing You and Yours a Blessed and Joyous Christmas from our family to yours! Fondly, Kimara and Michelle It is that time of year when Michelle and I tuck away Wee Folk Art for a few weeks to spend time with the family and enjoy a little rest and relaxation. Before “heading out” (actually, we are staying …
It seems the closer we get to Christmas, the shorter the days become. I’m not talking about the hours of sunlight (or in our case, overcast skies 🙂 but how there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get things done. So, in order to provide some new content on Wee Folk Art …
The other day I saw the most adorable wee stockings at Little Cotton Rabbits. If you’ve never been to Little Cotton Rabbits, you are in for a real treat. Julie Williams is a gifted designer and knitter. She makes the most a.dor.able little creatures that she sells. The demand for her work far exceeds her ability …
I’ve had many requests for photos of our winter gnome house. I still need to get our Starry Night silk draped behind it and add lots of snow… aka… cotton balls! Of course, I can almost guarantee you that somewhere between now and Christmas, I’ll make something new for the gnome’s holiday celebration… I always …
The other day on Facebook I shared a link to a posting for handmade Christmas cards on Back to the Drawing Board. The designer made a landscape using tissue paper trees, had them reduced and photo coped, then used them to make some awesome Christmas cards. Do check out her project. I thought the inside of her trees was …
Pixie and Fairy wanted to sew some Christmas ornaments for gifts. They had been busy making German Stars, but they love hand sewing so I made this gingerbread man for them. I decided to make it one of our 6″ x 6″ applique blocks, and use the pattern to make ornaments. Although the pattern can …
EDIT 12-13-2015 :: I just learned these are also part of Danish culture, where they are called julestjerne (Christmas star). Thanks for that info, Yvette.

“With a moo moo here, and a moo moo there; here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo…” Today we are sharing our Cow Applique Block. It was created to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block but can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. There are many small pieces on …
(Our new snowflakes) A few years ago I shared a tutorial for making snowflakes out of dollies. You can find that tutorial HERE. Originally, I had made them to hang in my preschool, so I had laminated them. Here it is, some 20 years later, and they look as fresh as the day I made …
(Ari with his dreads just forming.) We have just returned from a visit with our son Adam, and his lovely new bride, Raewyn. Did I take any pics of them? No. But I took plenty of their 11 month old Komondor aka Hungarian Sheepdog, Ari. Ari is the process of getting his adult coat, and …
