My oldest daughter Colleen and her family came up early for Thanksgiving staying at Leslie's. Early in the week everyone was at my house and we had a family craft night. I was introduced to wool felting and we all tried our hand at Gnomes. I had a bit of a time adjusting to the technique so the top picture is my first 2 "Gnomes". The red-capped one was the first. His oversized eyes were turned into sunglasses and I gave him a candy cane cane. Miss Matrushka came next. I've since learned that the placement of the face made her look like a Russian nesting doll. Thanksgiving night, at Leslie's, the wool came out again and I made a second attempt. I think these came out better, more Gnome-like. We had a good time being together, playing, laughing and eating way too much!
