So very cute all of them .:thumbup:

Very nice - really cute and the messengers bag is a great add.

Your secret pal is very lucky!

How do I get to be your secret pal? All are wonderful.

Sweet gifts! You are so generous! Thanks for shareing! I would love to help my residents to make these characters and pumpkin. Could you post where I can get the pattern?

Here is the pattern I used for the gnomes
http://weefolkart.com/?q=node/187 However I didn't have the pegs so I used some clay. One small package of clay made the 2 heads (they're just under 1" across) and 1 body, which are about 1" across and about 2.5" tall, and I had to use a half a package of a different color for the other body but it's covered so it doesn't matter. But the website uses some pegs. You could probably also use some really fat dowels cut down and something about the size of a moth ball for the heads and glue them together. The website also has a pattern for making the gnomes completely from clay but I think they are much tinier.

And I believe this is essentially what I followed to make the pumpkin

No pictures but it's pretty simple. I did the top a little differently because I couldn't find this again when I was actually making it and all I really remembered was "make a circle, draw it closed, make the segments, put something over the top for a stem". Except that, that website doesn't tell you how to make the segments. Grr.

Well once you pull the top closed, you then take the thread and wrap it real tight down to the bottom, and bring the needle back up through the middle and repeat that all around, try to come up through the same hole in the bottom

Very cute things, I'm sure your secret pal will love them.

I crammed that bag so full of stuff it's unbelievable. It's now being referred to as The Bag Of Holding

Aha, those are great!i made some knomes out of clay, up,at art festival in cities two summers ago

My mom thinks I should have stuffed their hats and then they could have also been pincushions.. kinda wish I had now..

They are so lovely,well done.

Ana freaking astounding!!! Great job,

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!L!L! Tooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!

What a lucky secret Santa! Those gifts are beautiful!

It was a pattern from Oct 2012 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting and it's good sized. Ends up being like 13x14x2 inside.

Precious little items! And she can carry them in her new bag!!
Great job! :)
