So once I get a better photo of our entire autumn nature table..which is a gnome garden, I will post that. For now though, here are two gnomes that are working hard in their garden. Well, it looks as if they are taking a break at the moment! :-p I want to make two more. They are little pipe cleaner figures made with a doll head and some awesome wool felt. The feet per directions seemed quite strange to me, so I came up with my own thing. It isn’t perfect as it doesn’t help in the standing department, which they should be able to do. Nevertheless, they serve my purposes and I am really happy with these little fellas!

Guarding his treasures!

We have had a blast collecting the natural treasures of autumn – we have tons of acorns and I have been collection and pressing some beautiful yellow leaves. Another idea I got for the acorns from a Petra Berger craft book was an acorn snake! I drilled holes through the acorns, Tyler threaded them on some wire, we added eyes with a permanent pen and glued on a bit of a red leaf for a tongue and voila! There is also a recently made felt mouse near the snake. He will soon have a friend and after I procure some grey yarn, they will have have lovely little tails.

Next on the docket – some needle felted hedgehogs and a wet felted pumpkin whose top comes off. A great little container for natural treasures!
