To Gnome, Gnome, Gnome Him

Is to love, love, love him. And I do-ooo, yes I do.

Perhaps I should be watching the seven kids who are running around my house right now, but with that many, I figure they will take care of each other. Too bad I don't have a house gnome to keep an eye on them.

I have been dreaming of a gnome in needlepoint for several months now, and just this morning I was inspired to bring him to life in red floss, on a remnant of a vintage handkerchief Avery once cut into, backed with a yummy vintage fabric I have been hoarding since summer. He is destined for another home, but maybe I will create a companion piece to keep for myself. Maybe I'll even learn how to post a template for him and you can make a gnome for yourself or someone you love. Anyone interested?

See you around some time next week. Eat, drink and be merry 'til we meet again!

  12. Yes! Love gnomes. You are inspiring me again. I remember you mentioned crocheting a head band and I did it before you even posted a pattern. But with the gnome, the template might be good.
