Nous sommes de retour à la maison et j'essaye de me replonger dans mes préparatifs de Noël, de rattraper le retard côté déco, de continuer d'avancer sur des bricolages et de faire quelques emplettes.
Mon premier gnome Björn a réclamé la présence d'un ami donc j'ai choisi de lui adjoindre un cuisinier. Mon tissu alsacien (une fois retrouvé) sera parfait pour le bonnet et après une coupe conique j'ai finalement opté pour une forme moins classique.
Jo's suggestion for Scandinavian names is perfect, G1 will be called Björn!
After some researches, I like also Knut, Svenn, Yrgö, they will be great for me next theme : cook, garden, steampunk, sewing (I'd love to do a bagpipe player too and maybe a Harry Potter theme for my SiL1).
I have started Gnome 2,
The beard neaded more volume so I have sewed more "hair" under it.
Finally I have found the fabric I wanted to use for the cap but after cutting a basic cone shape changed my mind to something else.
Let me introduce you Knut, the cooking gnome.
I have added two charms I already had : grapes and a bretzel.
I'd like to add a spoon (maybe I can find one in the Barbie box), maybe a kitchen whisk or a rolling pin.
Après avoir regonflé sa barbe bouclée, Knut attend maintenant que je lui ajoute quelques accessoires, déjà un pendentif en bretzel et une grappe de raisin. J'aimerais une cuillère, un fouet ou un rouleau à pâtisserie.
Since 2021, I put some artificial tree branches on the staircase to receive what I call my DIY garland with led candles. New not so ugly Christmas sweaters, a lovely wool cap Debbie sent me, wool knitting balls are 2022 new decorations and I added some dried oranges slices.
I found the perfect stitching for my countdown on BAP Attack blog, who is the 6th December door on Jo's Advent Calendar
It's Emma Longdon pattern, I love its Roy Lichtenstein look.
And today there is only 3 days before Christmas!
Cute decorations. Your gnomes are especially cute. Merry Christmas. Stay safe and warm.
RépondreSupprimerLove the gnome and your decorations all look so lovely.
RépondreSupprimerGreat stitch, isn't that every stitcher's question?!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
I love seeing all your decorations. So glad you liked my choice of name. If you make any lady gnomes could you call them Marit and Sissel, two lovely Norwegian ladies I used to work with.
RépondreSupprimerI’m happy that you found inspiration on the Blog Hop too!
Serendipitous Jo
