Torrential rain flooding run

[craftyhunnypie]

Can't wait to see her fashion sense!

I'm only jealous!

Her size would freak me out a bit though - she is almost human.

It's the body. The legs and arms are floppy dolly, but the torso is like one of those resuscitation annie dolls you use for learning the kiss of life!

 

Plus, she doesn't have eyes yet and SHE'S LOOKING AT ME AS I SEW HER CLOTHES!!!

[craftyhunnypie]

Ahhh give her a face, a personality & a name - the poor love!

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Jeroma the Gnoma. She's Italian-Svedish and a gnome. Clearly.

 

I'll sew her face on when I've done her hat.

[Plum]

Is she going to wear an Omlet T shirt?

[craftyhunnypie]

& crocs?

 

Emma.x

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Nope. Purple boots the same colour as the hat. Hopefully.

 

More progression...

 

Skirt (which was going to be pantaloons but I didn't have enough fabric. So he's now a girl!)

 

Top...

 

Gnometastic stripage...

 

Goat ears...

 

Face...

 

Got to smother her in numbered pockets and make some boots. Maybe a pair of mittens. Then she'll be done!

 

Still a bit frightened by her sizeness ...

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Well done Chicky......she's looking fab

Well done!

Fantastic ears. Keep going she's great. my ribs are hurting.

[BarbaraJ]

She's about the size of Gail Porter and will have as much hair. No plaits. I like the ear and hat look. Makes her look much more cute and less scary. Hair makes her look too doll-like and therefore more real-like.

 

Oh lordy, she's a big'un!

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Harlequin patches on the top...

 

 

A bag for extra advent pockets...

 

 

That head up close...

 

 

A door, for scale, and because it's the only place big enough to hang her up...

 

[freddie]

She brings back memories of a house I went to recently, where, just inside the front door, there is one of those very realistic rubber men's torso things that boxers practice on..

Jump..... me..... YES

[Plum]

Oh she has such a lovely face not scarey at all. Love that bag. By the way is she modelled as a self portrait?

You want Jeroma the Gnoma to jump you?!

 

Plum - unfortunately while Jeroma and I share girth, we do not share much else in common. Oh wait - hang on...

 

 

 

 

Nope - I don't have anywhere NEAR as many pockets...

[Couperwife]

well, I think she is going to be lovely (if maybe a little large )

Top:

 

 

They are velvet pocket patches.

 

And here she is - Jeroma the Gnoma!

 

 

All she needs is a shoulder bag for the last handful of advent numbers, but she's basically done. The heart necklace is another velvet pocket.

 

I don't think she looks as scary as she could have done!

[Plum]

She's not scarey she's mumsie ready to hold all those goodies. Brilliant

[craftyhunnypie]

If she had wings she could have been a magical fairy godmother! But a magical mumsie sounds nicer. I love her - she's brilliant!

Jeroma the Gnoma is a big girl

 

You have made a really great job of her, she's fab!

[Couperwife]

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Me. With clues in binary as to where I've hidden things round the house. It's a month-long birthday advent trail.

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Well that went SUPRISINGLY well!!! He was a little tiny bit surprised!

 

 

[Plum]

I've got coffee up my nose now. Surely he'd noticed it around the house? How can you hide such a wench.
