Yesterday, while heading back uphill after walking little Mr. down to school, my wee Bloom and I passed a great big tree with lovely little pinecones strewn about beneath. It made me think of this project. Of course we had to stop... And pick up more pinecones! I left the sack of pinecones in the kitchen, and look who came out to visit with our new pinecone friends!? In honor of this happy pinecone day, I am re-posting this pinecone gnome tutorial, just for you! ORIGINALLY POSTED DECEMBER 11, 2011 I was walking through the garden with my wee Bloom this morning and heard a small rustling of leaves. Our attention was drawn down to the roots of a great pine tree. Nestled among the roots, pine needles and fallen leaves were these two little fellows, doing their best disguise themselves among the pinecones. The two little gnomes squeaked in terror when they realized they'd been spotted, but after my wee Bloom and I knelt down and assured them we meant no harm, they invited a third friend to join them. Introductions were made with a "How do you do, and a how do you do, and a how do you do, again..." (the gnomes in my garden are, apparently, very formal little fellows!) We talked about the weather, the fallen leaves and the migrating birds. Then our new friends said they must be on their way to help the local squirrels hunt a few last acorns, so we parted ways with a very formal "Hope to see you, and a hope to see you, and a hope to see you again soon!" And I'm sure we shall... If you would like to see some pine-cone gnomes in your garden, you'll want to find some smallish pinecones and 1-inch wooden beads with 3/8th inch holes like these. As you can see, I made a simple pattern for the hats out of newsprint... These hats are about 2 1/2 inches high. To help the little gnomes balance, you may want to cut some feet from matching felt and glue them to the bottoms of the pine-cones. One of my pine-cones was still a little wobbly so I reinforced the felt base with a piece of cardboard (and if your pine-cones are really wobbly, you can add some weight by gluing a penny to the base...) If you want your gnomes to have mittens, you can cut 3 inch lengths of pipe-cleaner, run a line of glue along the center 2 inches and then place it in among the bristles through the middle of your pine-cone. Leave an inch, or so, of the ends of your pipe cleaner sticking out in front to form two arms. Then glue your bead to the top of the pine-cone, glue the hat to the top of the wooden bead and mittens to the ends of the pipe-cleaner arms. Finally, if you wish, you can paint or draw little faces. For these gnomes I used colored pencils to draw the faces, and I think it worked out nicely. Don't you? Dear Readers: Did you know that, even if you "Like" we bloom here and/or Making Peg Dolls on Facebook, you may not be seeing updates and messages from me in your Facebook feed? Did you know that you might be missing tutorials for lovely, quick-to-whip-up gifts? Missing information about the upcoming blog tour? About book give-aways, and other give-aways? Here's what you can do so you don't miss anything: once you’ve liked the we bloom here and/or the Making Peg Dolls page (thank you!), use the dropdown menu right under the “liked” button to select “get notifications,” or "see first" in your news feed. This lets Facebook know, going forward, that you really do want to know when I've posted a new tutorial, give-away, and other assorted nonsense. Another way you can hear from me is to have a look at the right-hand sidebar of this blog, and find the widget which allows you to "follow by email." Once you've typed in your email, you will get notifications delivered directly to your inbox. I don't have access to information about who signs up for email through my blog, so there is no way I could add you to some list and send you junk-mail (not that I would ever consider doing such an annoying thing anyhow, I promise). Thanks for visiting! Please say "hi" any time -- I love hearing from you. xo mb

. Click HERE for the new and improved version of these centerpieces. The new post includes new ideas and much better photos! Last week my friend Sandy and I went to a holiday shop-hop in Grand Rapids. A floral shop had really beautiful centerpieces on display. My Mom had a party last weekend and I decided to recreate what I saw for her. I don't know why I am calling these centerpieces - I guess I don't know what else to call them - but they would look great anywhere, not just in the center of a table. . Supplies: . - Tall glass containers. The two large containers I used here are actually apothecary jars (without the lids) that I usually have on my mantle. - fresh berries. We used rose hips but I think any fresh berry would work just fine. - floating candles . . These are so easy to put together - just trim the branches and place in your container, add water, and add floating candles. . . The water sort of magnifies the berries and intensifies the red color. Think of all the other things you could put in the jars. I think pine branches would look really pretty. . We also added fresh cranberries around a candle. .. These were a hit at my Mom's party - everyone commented on them and loved how they looked. . . I am off to Chicago to spend the weekend with my sister (if the road's aren't too bad. I am writing the post on Wednesday night and right now they are predicting quite a few inches of snow for Friday. Fingers crossed because my sister and I have a really fun weekend planned!). ..
you can't have everything, where would you put it?
