New Gnomes in the Thicket

Although your average woodland gnome has a life expectancy of hundreds of years, that’s not always the case for friends that dwell in our gnome house. Although many of them live to a ripe old age, sadly, some have been carried off by beasties, sometimes known as puppies, others have mysteriously disappeared, only to be …

Big Peg Owls for Wee Hands

A few weeks ago I shared a tutorial for making Peg Owls using an “adult” size, 2 3/8″ x 7/8″, wooden peg. Today, I am sharing a pattern for making a Large Peg Owl, perfect for wee hands, using the large wooden pegs, 3 9/16″ x 1 1/8″, making them large enough not to be a …

Flower Fairies and Buds

  [We took one of our favorite patterns and made it lovelier by adding more embroidery.

If you are lucky enough to have Flower Fairies in your garden, then you already know that all …

Anyone who knows me well, knows I NEVER make “just enough” food for dinner. When I make chicken soup, you would think I planned to feed the villagers… and, in fact, sometimes I do 🙂 But here is my philosophy… it really doesn’t take that much more time to make a pot of soup for …

Old World Wooden Gnomes Tutorial

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 …

Old World Wooden Gnomes

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 …
