[@loislevandoski1246]

You are genius! I so enjoy watching you (and your husband on Thursday’s) do your magic! I have to mention that when I came in late last Thursday, your live greeting astounded me! It made me cry! It was just the best greeting I’ve ever received!! Thank you so much, I can’t tell you what it meant to me! ☺️

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Oh thank you so much! You are so kind!

[@loriwimbrow658]

Those are so adorable. I think everyone and not just gnomes need Goulashes this time of year lol

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

That is so true! Thank you so much Lori!

[@patriciaellingburg3716]

You are very talented these ate awesome

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Thank you so much!

[@wandasinclair3748]

Love all u do. Yes I want 2 make this shoe that is if I can fine eggs. I live 2 hrs from town and don't get 2 go that often.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

You could order them online to save yourself a trip. I just googled Easter eggs and quite a few options came up, even in the off season. Good luck!

[@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973]

We had orange and black as well and we were the phantoms!!

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@judyhandziak9569]

Awesome thanks so much

Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by! 😊

[@tamarajackson1365]

I love this technique..I have not made a gnome yet but I plan on it and I will be using your technique for the shoes. My high school colors was blue and orange and we were the Tigers Too funny. School is in Buffalo NY class of 81. 🤗

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

I love it! Then you might have understood the totally tubular comment. My friends and I used to say it all the time in place of, wow that’s great. So funny. I’m from the class of “86” 😊.

[@sfuqua68]

Yes I would like a template

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Hi Sherrylee Noel! You can find the template here: fiveorlesssteps.blogspot.com It's toward the bottom of the February 16th, 2022 entry. Let me know if you can't find it!

[@kimstormo1175]

These shoes are adorable! Thank you for sharing how to make them! Where do you find eggs that split that way? All I can find are ones that split vertically.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

I found them on Amazon. I believe there is a link in the description! Thank you!!! ❤️

[@patsierra6377]

What are the measurements for legs start in the body of none then what length you start out of shoe to attach to leggs

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Hi Pat! I usually do about 10 inches from the top of the sock to the bottom, then there's the connector, and roughly 3 inches of straw into the shoe. I hope that helps!!

[@teresafogelson]

Yes, please. I'm interested in your patterns?

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Hello. I am watching your how to video for the gnomes and its great. How tall are y our gnomes? I see you adding the tube to the shoe base and then the attachment at the top to add the body. Wow that looks really tall. Love the idea of the spackel to weigh down the shoes

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Each of my gnomes end up being different heights but the standing gnomes average height is about 12” tall.

[@bonnierosseter4964]

What type of balloon sticks with what type of attachments for the shoe.....

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Hi Bonnie! It should be in the description of the video, but let me know if it's not!

[@gudrunaderhold]

Hi. Can I use foam eggs as well?

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Hello! Foam should work fine. Thanks for watching!

[@sheilaeaton3048]

love them but, how do you fasten the balloon straws to the gnome body??

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Hi Sheila! So you tuck the straws into the gnome body "stuffing" and hot glue them in place. Then they should fit into the connectors that are glued in place within the shoes. Hopefully this helps!

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

It may be easier to see in my last Live. right around the 54 minute mark. 😀

[@cindylathan4231]

Also.... If there's a little glue oozing out, just get your heat gun and melt it. It'll disappear in the fabric. Great trick!

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Oh wow, I will give that a try. Thank you for the tip!

[@suetempus7749]

You can use sand or Gravelotte from dt to weight down foon or leg instead of all that glue and then just glue on top.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

That's a great idea, Sue! Thanks for sharing it!

[@vickiwildman6800]

where do you get the eggs that are split the long way?

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Thank you so much for watching! Vertical open easter eggs are getting more difficult to find. You can use these and just cut the tabs off. ----> amzn.to/3SZqFyU

[@willworkforyarn4893]

This was fascinating! Maybe you could sell them!!! I bet you could make high-heels or sandals by covering with flesh tone first as the foot then using the colors to make the shoe onto the foot. I hope that makes sense!

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

OH MY WORD, what a brilliant idea! I love high heels! Thanks Mary. I hope you can join us again during our Live next week!

[@willworkforyarn4893]

@@DIYIsMyHappyPlace What is the date and time? I don't want to miss it!

[@angelabrown1992]

I'd like to have 1 basic "starter" thatr is always the same, just sized to fit the gnome, then finished to the style/color/design to match.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

I love it! That is such a great idea! You have given me inspiration for my post on next Monday! Thank you so much!

[@angelabrown1992]

@@DIYIsMyHappyPlace I won't even charge my usual idea fee.....;) LOL

[@angelabrown1992]

I started with the eggs this past weekend and I was working out of my brain only....so it's been a rough ride...LOL

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Oh believe me, I understand. Many times I start working a project out in my head before I ever try it in reality. Sometimes it Keri’s me up at night. It won’t go away until I give it a try, and if I’m being honest, not all my ideas actually work, but giving them a try, at least I learn what doesn’t work and I can move on or try a different path. It’s like putting together a puzzle for me. Working things out can be frustrating but more often it’s rewarding.

[@wandasinclair3748]

Just really enjoy watching u. I'm asking 4 help. Can't get your patterns. Can I order your patterns. I know u are real busy. I'm 80 trs old and just want 2 make keepsakes 4 my family. I also ask 4 your hat but their is so many. I know u don't do this but money is no problem. Just please help me.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

I would love to help you. Give me the details of what you are looking for and I’ll do whatever I can for you.

You can always add your initials to your shoes so there is no name used but yours.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

You’ve got it! I’m working on it. I thought I would have it posted already but I should be finished with it by Monday evening.

[@wandasinclair3748]

These eggs are also hard 2 get.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Definitely easier before Easter season, but I did just google them online and there are a few places that carry them year round, but I agree, the cheapest way is to stalk up during the Easter season.

[@cindylathan4231]

Girl gets you some colored glue sticks. No worries about glue oozing out as much.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

Good thinking

[@judyseats8959]

I tried to send pictures of my clay pots Indians. Couldn't do that.

[@DIYIsMyHappyPlace]

I wish KZbin allowed pictures in the comments. That would be so helpful.
