Flowerpot Gnomes

Made out of mini flowerpots, these little gnomes are about the size of your thumb! I painted small wooden flowerpots with the designs of gnome faces, bodies, and hats! The nose is made from the rim of the pots and even the eyes are painted on. Super easy to make as long as you have a steady hand!

Awww! She's such a...doll...!?

Earlier today...much MUCH earlier...I bought this doll and decided to give her a new look, face and clothes.  While I advise you not to look too closely at the face, I'm actually pretty proud of the clothing:

"Martha" came with:  her name and her shoes.  I made both these outfits(no patterns or directions)  and her acessories which was her earrings, necklace, and her headbands.

Fun With Gords

Gourds are alright.  You get them for Halloween along with pumpkins, but by the end of October, you throw them away like the candy wrappers your children dispose of.  I, Stella, have single-handedly created a craft for old dried up gourds that is certainly worth your time:  

Bird Houses

Okay, I guess that it's been done before, but I also recently created another top secret gourd craft that is being showed to the world for the first time right here:  

Flower Vases

Genius, I know.  Thank you, thank you!

Sock Elephant

Here's pictures of the sock Elephant I made:

If you follow sock Elephant instructions, make sure the back legs are about 5" long(or match the front legs in length).  

If following back leg instructions correctly, then make the front legs a couple inches longer than the instructions say.

If you are adding eyes that are not buttons, I highly suggest adding the eyes after what is commonly known as step 2 (stuffing head, goes into stuffing the rest of body and whipstitching the hole closed between back legs).

Bearon the Teddy Bear

Here is Eddie and his bear that I made.  Eddie seems happier with something to play with.  Soon he will have more animal companions at his side.  Scroll down this page to vote on what sock animal I should make next.

Eddie Ervin K.

Here is pictures of the sock monkey, Eddie Ervin K., that I made.  His nickname is E.E.K. for short.  Soon, Eddie will have some friends to play with.  BUT, since E.E.K. is a pretty cool name for a sock monkey...........

I'm going to need some more suggestions for names that will be just as good.
