It is not often you have the opportunity to craft with brown felt at Christmas time unless you are making a herd of reindeer. But brown is such a lovely color, and truly the only color that can be a gingerbread man.
Oh my gosh! What an adorable gingerbread man this brown felt turned out to be. I chose the most wonderful shade of vintage blue buttons and matched thread to them for his eyes. Ol' Blue Eyes has nothing on this Christmas heralder.
Of course if you make a gingerbread, gum drops are soon to follow. Try thinking "gingerbread". See, you automatically next think, "gum drops". They just had to be!
And of course, when you begin thinking of gingerbread and gumdrops, it's only natural your thoughts drift to your favorite board game as a child, Candyland. Well then, you need gumdrop trees to compleet the scene..
So here they all are just as Cute as Can Be and joyful as possible to send Christmas cheer your way!

A kit would be great for someone like me, Elizabeth! I think this is a great next step for you and your wonderful creations, too. Of course, I love your gingerbread man - with the face I've come to love, that you make for these wonderful creations!
This is such an exciting opportunity for you, Elizabeth!! And it sounds like you are working with good people! Wishing you the best of everything in your newest adventure!

Yep I can see you doing this! You have always had a gracious and giving heart.So many of us out here in Blogland have been on the the giving side of your creations.And for that we all love you and care for you. What you are now doing..most wouldn't do..they would go for the big moola.Not you..God knew who to send Beth too.
With this He will honor what you do ..because you are doing this from the heart not for greed.
We have all felt like your creations should be in magazines...now others who don't live in this precious neighborhood of Blogville...well... they will be able to see what we see...absolute cuteness...year round.
Congratulations my sweet friend.
Hugs Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham

Glad to hear that you are still creatively breathing and going forward with your talent. btw-thaks for the extra cute things that came with my purchase in the closing of the craft room. You are so kind and very generous. You go girl!
This truly is wonderful for you and Beth both. And what a lovely lovely compliment she gave about your blog being your ministry. That's the nicest thing anyone could say about a blog. Sometimes the open windows are nicer than the open door!! Love...

What a wonderful opportunity for such a talented lady.
I do love all your creations and so enjoy reading your blog.

I don't quite know what is happening in your life. The last few posts I have read have seemed full of sadness and ending. I am happy that you feel that this new venture is a beginning for you. I am very excited that I found your penny rug patterns and have made the chocolate rabbit penny rug for my table centre piece this Esater. Thank you for the pattern and thank you for wanting to continue sharing.
That is such wonderful news, Elizabeth! I can't think of anyone more deserving. You are truly blessed, and truly a blessing!
Well I am not the least bit surprised by this. I am so glad you have been 'discovered' by someone who can take your patterns and make something big happen with them. The best to you E and have a great Easter with your family. Nan
Your blog and giving has always touched those of us who followed you. Now your creative spirit can touch many more. Bless Beth's heart in her struggle, and yours.
Oh E. Beth said it perfectly when she said this is your ministry. Isn't it amazing that God opens these windows. I am so happy for you. I also can't wait to see this all happen. You have a gift with your talent. Proud of you!
Am I surprised? Not.one.bit. Am i thrilled for you? Completely! Elizabeth, you have always underestimated your talents. Your felt creations are just amazing to me. I'm so glad you are able to find a new creative outlet and I hope you continue to share your journey when you feel like it...I've been missing you and was so glad to see you stopped by today. I'm sure you're busy with wedding plans. Blessings to you and your family - have a wonderful Easter. xoxo Nancy
Hello E - how generous and kind this is, and how rewarding, too. I love your heart - and I am looking forward to watching for new patterns in the future. What a wonderful ministry! LOVE IT!
Hugs, Patti
How very exciting Elizabeth!!
I don't comment very often at all -but I really wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. The colors and you beautiful creations make me smile on each visit.
I'm so glad that your sweet designs will be available for people beyond your blog!
Thank you for the patterns today ~ I LOVE the gumdrop trees!!
Elizabeth,
I could just cry my eyes out. I am so excited for both of you. I can't wait to see what happens next. I could not have said it but I agree with the comment about this being your ministry. How profound of Beth.
Speaking of profound, your response on my blog absolutely blew me out of the water and (once again) made me all teary. I think you are so right about the meaning of the little gifts. They are how those of use who create say, "I care." I have thought that. You expressed it so well.
Sending you huge hugs. You are a wonderful woman, E.

Just stumbled upon you...am so glad that i did!! Adorable adorable!
I have been searching for a great "gumdrop how to." This is perfect! It turns out I was using the wrong shape for the body. How did you attach the base to the body?
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for this site and all the information it contains. I find it very interesting and I recommend it to everyone!
All the best. Sincerely
