The small notebook cover has a Christmas gnome holding a gingerbread man, I would love to stitch more of these gnome designs but the list to do for Christmas keeps growing so I must move on. Jan has requested Christmas gnomes for a tree she plans on that theme , these I am making on polystyrene balls in different colours, the fun part for me will be creating the hats, these are well on the way and hopefully will be shown in my next post.
Two other projects under way both quite different for Ronan’s Christmas gift I am making a board game using the Paw Patrol as the theme, Jan has put together ideas for the game that will help develop Ronan’s skills and so the game can have different parts added later. The fun part of creating the game is mine.
For herself for Christmas Jan has requested a felt board set of the Hungry Caterpillar, I made this for Finn in 2019 and had kept most of my patterns what a hungry chap that caterpillar was he ate his way through 15 pieces of food. I like to make all the pieces double felt and buttonhole stitch the edges to make them last longer, specially in this case where it will be a class room set and get a lot of handling.
My computer is telling me to back up and replace the hard drive, so find myself doing more on the iPad and this time have had success in putting together this posting now to hit the publish button before I lose it all.

These are delightful, Lee. So cheery! Is the gnome pattern your design or a purchased pattern? My daughter-in-la? w loves gnomes and this would be a cute ornament for her. Can't believe how fast Christmas is coming up - wasn't it just summer? (at least for us in the Northern Hemisphere lol) Lori
These are such cute patterns. Love your stitching and how they turned out
