Happy St. Patrick's Day

This morning we awoke to find that those pesky leprechauns had played little tricks on us. They hid all of Ryan's sheets and blankets under his bed. They switched around Princess Spring and King Winter and many other things out of place around the house.

We gathered together all of our green gnomes/leprechauns and I told the story of Patrick O'Leary from the Suzanne Down Spring Tales. Then Ryan was inspired to go outside and look for any signs of leprechauns in the back yard. He said he saw a few but was not fast enough to catch them. As everyone knows, if you catch one of the wee little men in green, they have to tell you where the pot of gold is! But watch out they don't put a trickster spell on you like they did to Patrick O'Leary.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Thanks Nicole. I made the wall hanging at a friends house when we went over to felt Easter Eggs. I loved the color of her felt and was inspired to make the mushroom and gnome. I still need to make some felted eggs!!
