You are just so incredibly talented! I feel like a kid in a candy store when I can sit down with a cuppa and watch... And absorb everything you do! Please keep posting, at this crazy time especially it's a blessing to escape back into a fantasy world! Xx
wow, that's amazing to hear, thank you very much!!
No surprises here.... as ever gorgeously artistic. Your creativity never fails to inspire me, thanks so much for this. Love when the gnomes pop up in my inbox 💕💕
Wow, thank you so much!!
well... now i have to make a pumkin house~

Im SOOOOO happy your posting again Sharon!! Ive missed you! And of course just in time, I needed a mushroom tutorial and there you were! Im about to tackle the mouse mansion outside bark and here you are with another paper towel surfacing video. All very kismet if you ask me. Hug your Dad for me, and thank you again so much for sharing. Love from NY!!

You constantly amaze me with what you do with foil, masking tape, and paper towels!!! Love this cozy and a little spooky pumpkin home!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you love it, that means a lot!
Now, I've just got to make a pumpkin house. You're so much fun, Sharon! Your creativity is just amazing. ❤️
thank you very much!
I just have to thank you for thinkin of our ears. Nobody has ever turned the volume down so we arent assaulted by loud horrid noise. And may I say this pumpkin house is so adorable. You really have a talent for creative ideas. Nice job
ohh thank you for taking the time to mention that. My youngest son has sensory issues, loud noises is one of them, so I'm sensitive to that. It doesn't take much effort to make sure those noises are not included and I'm very happy to know it's appreciated. I felt there was some other noises I wish I could banish but wasn't able to do it. Thanks again, I appreciate your feedback!
So happy we finally get to see the pumpkin house getting decorated🎉
The egg boxes and coffee carriers are made from papier mache add water and you can model with it! Oh I have fallen in love with your makes, adore pumpkins and magical houses, fairies, gnomes etc xx
Well Ive watched this twice. Love your calm voice and wonderful techniques.
Wow, thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it, that means a lot :)
I love your teaching. I made your mouse last night and he turned out so cute and excited to make your adorable pumpkin home. I want to surpise my grandaughter, shes 7. Thank you so much. Your pumpkin looks very cute! Thank you for teaching important details and making it so clear. It's fun hearing you think outloud.😊❤
I have been collecting cardboard n stuff when you were not here, NOW it's the time to bring all the collected stuff and do some magic
ALL THANKS TO U
LOTS OF LOVE FROM KASHMIR ❤
That is awesome! Have fun building!! Keep me posted :)

of course👍
Plz make vedios for your other channel also..
True crafting…creating something fabulous out of household materials.
This takes me back to my childhood. It wasn’t called crafting. It was called making decorations or toys for you or the dogs, cats & birds. Cotton twine, wax paper, Elmer’s glue, aluminum foil, masking or scotch cellophane tape. Watercolor paint, flour&water glue, construction paper, cardboard & fabric scraps. Popsicle sticks and staples. Left over house paint. Coat hangers and twigs. And don’t cut yourself on your dad’s pocket knife!
I love the way you think. You know what you want to make,but after that, you need a chimney or branches on the tree. And you make it happen. I love it. Thank you for sharing, can't wait till I see part 2.
I actually made a screech noise when I saw u were actually going to do a build!!!seems like old times!!..Happy Happy Dance...❤️🤸🏻♂️
lol aww!!!!! That made my whole day!! :)
I'm SOOO excited about this. No clay! You're brilliant. Thank you so much.
I completed the creepy tree last year. You I want to do this one next. Your voice is so calming and your work and directions are so spot on! Love your channel!
Your house has character and looks old which is what it should look like. I think it is absolutely fantastic. You really made an adorable Fall decoration that everybody will love but especially children will be fascinated by this and have fun imagining the little elves who live there.
Wow, that is amazing!! I definitely would love to great something like this, if I get it half as good as yours I'll be ecstatic. You have amazing creative hands!!! Hi from Ireland
I'm making this for my granddaughter's maileg mice. She's obsessed with pumpkin mice since I made her a pumpkin quiet book.
I love this. May see if my Mom would like to try this together for her front porch. She's always decorating her porch depending on the season & she would love this. Great job, it's lovely. If we do it, it would be for next season. I know she & her husband have many appointments. Plus she's trying to help take care of my 93-year-old Granma. And my Mom herself is 73. So we would probably have to do a little at a time. If we do I will post it when it's finished. TYFS
Wow I am speechless..who knew you could make something so cool out of foil, cardboard and paint.. You are amazing!!! I love everything you have made watched the tree this morning ❤😍
Congratulation beautyfull House of innovazione and super classic ideal ... i tink to take a new abitat for only me' for all my particolar Life! 🙃🙂🤩🤪😎🥳🤡😸💛👍
I think it looks fantastic with the bumps. More gourd like. Really like this project, you did a great job!
Your pumpkin house is so cute! My grandson now wants us to make one. I just have to buy more foil...lol. Thank you for your always fun tutorials, very clear instructions. 😊🎃❤️👍
I'm so glad to hear that! I hope you both enjoy the process. Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback, I appreciate that. Happy building!
So awesome and so inspiring...you rock girl! Can’t wait for the inside!
Fun project. Cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!! Must do one with my grandson! He will love it.
have fun with your grandson!
Absolutely stunning!!!
Sharon!!! Amazing! Love it so so much!! Thank you 😊
This is insanely beautiful! Thank you for the step by step, too cool.
Sharon you are wonderful and you make it look so simple. I started making our little mouse house today and after two hours of trying to paper machè the inside I can no longer feel my legs ( mabey I should not be doing this on the floor)
Watching your videos again as I forgot how to make the door. Thank you so much for your channel it is a pleasure watching you creativity.
You are quite an artist, and very creative!!!
I'm so happy I seen your video on ROKU when looking for ways to texture my project and yet have it strong enough for a 7 yr. old to have fun with..It's going to be a Barbie Boutique with outside stairs to an apartment..I'm a Grammy on à learning curve and love it..Thank-You..
Super fun project. I love your pumpkin and tree. It is so amazing to watch you create. I am excited to see the inside and who gets to live in the wonderful pumpkin. Tfs. Hugs and blessings.
I just love all of your stuff and your creative imagination!!!
You always have great tips to share. You are obviously a very experienced crafter! I really like all your creations. Thanks for being so generous, with all your fabulous ideas!
Thanks for showing how to do this with just the foil, tape, glue, and paper towels. This looks so cool as usual. I do enjoy watching your videos. I am so glad you are able to start doing them again.
I am soooooo happy to see your back on here! I get on my kindle and go on TH-cam to watch some videos on how to make miniatures. Sometime soon I'm going to try to make my own stuff. I hope that is... But anyways, I always got on here and try to find out if you put a new video out yet. I got soooooo excited when I seen you did. I love watching your videos! So please, please keep them coming!
I'm also working on a pumpkin house too. I got a black foam core one at a thrift shop, so I needed to paint it like a pumpkin. The interior is kind of balking me. The curved walls are a bit difficult for furnishings. I am anxious to see how you get around it. I have some pieces made but am trying to decide what I want in there....not a lot of room. What a coincidence you are doing one too. I gave mine a garden and a well, and a wood box outdoors.
Yes, I have to figure out that out.. lol but I'm sure it'll turn out! I am tacking the interior today.. hopefully the video will be up in the next couple days or so :)
I love watching your stuff.
Thank you for being back and sharing all the little details that make us feel anything is possible!
aww! Straight to my heart, thank you for that!
Amazing! The details are incredible.
Oh my ..... This is delightful, just adore pumpkins, I go to another world when you put up a video, thank you so so much!
That is just so neat!! What a great way to use items basically you already have somewhere in the home or outside. Thanks for the video
I'm so happy you are posting again on TH-cam. As usual you amaze me. I love the pumpkin house. Looking forward to the next video 💜
Perfect fairy house for the fall
I am so inspired by your pumpkin! Can't wait to see the finished product! I have everything here to do that one! I buy the huge rolls of extra strong foil. And living in the country I buy paper towels in bulk!
So glad you are back crafting. Hoping you and your father are doing well and having a great weekend.
It looks amazing! I think the imperfections makes it look great! I wouldn't worry about it so much. Great job!
I've been watching you for a long time and you never cease to amaze me!!! Just love your work!!!!
Beautiful as usually!!Congratulations to you and your are very patient and creative. Thank you very much for your tips. Kisses from Australia 😀🙋♀️
So Amazing So Adorable SO ARTISTIC!!! I Love your shares Thank You!!!
I love watching you create these beautiful things 😍😍

Thank you! 😊
my God you're good! like you just make this as you go? amazing...i will definitely try this! your instructions are clear...much appreciated! keep up the awesome work...you're so inspiring!
This is just adorable!! I think a little witchy lady gnome figure would be such a cute addition! Little black hat, and a cauldron in the fire place! I am so inspired by you.
Wow! I actually love all the bumps & wrinkles cause it adds to the old look character of the pumpkin! Your work is above & beyond anything else iv ever seen by the few materials used to create such a masterpiece! I can't wait to watch the 2nd stage now! I'm literally binge watching after 1st seeing your adorable hedgehogs! I'm so glad iv found your channel and subscribed! Now onto part 2! Hugs 🤗
Well I absolutely love it!! I can not wait to see the interior and the character. I may just have to make one too. The window s and roof details are fantastic!🍄❤️🍄 you do awesome work.
So incredible, I was so captivated! Something I think I can do! You’ve motivated me to get back into my craft room! Thank you for an excellent tutorial! Beautiful job!
This is so adorable. 🥺
You're incredibly talented!
Thank you. That was awesome. Once again. I really missed your videos.
thank you so, I really appreciate your kind words, it means so much!
Adorable! I absolutely love it!
Thank you! 😊
Amazing 😄 Thank you for sharing 😊💝
This is absolutely amazing!! I love your videos and your imagination! Please keep them coming. I am hoping to save them all to use and craft with my soon to be born grandson once he is old enough to start crafting! I am so glad I found you and your channel!
Just amazing! Love to watch you work! Can’t wait to see what you do with the interior! ❤️
Thanks so much! It'll be fun to do the inside, I have a couple of ideas for it now!
Totally amazing. Could watch for hours.
that's amazing to hear, thank you!
Love your work that is going to look fabulous. Thank you for taking us long step-by-step. Should I want to make one I will be able to refer to your video. You are very talented
I have no adequate words, your work, patience, enthusiasm, giggle in some parts, is contagious, I thank you so much for sharing the extensive labor of love with each and every creative project, I am encouraged and inspired with each one.
Wow, thank you! Your comment just gave me so much energy, you have no idea. Straight to my heart, thank you so much
I like that the pumpkins not smooth. So very cute and creative as always. Your amazing. Thank you for sharing and teaching us.
Thanks so much for the kind words, that means a lot! 😊
Interesting!
Off to show this to mom. I've got several hollow foam pumpkins in storage for mom to try out something like this (She's now on a fairy/gnome house/garden obsession from your videos). I might be nice and rough it out for her "to play with" while my "mushroom train" project has stalled momentarily. Who knows?
that's awesome, hope she enjoys it. I have 2 foam ones too, in storage, I had planned on decorating them one day but then this happened instead. But maybe I will haul one out and see what can be done before Halloween maybe.. for those who don't want to build one. It's something I'll think on, thanks for the comment, a video might come of it, lol or next year.. we'll see
That is so adorable!!! I will have to add this to my very long list of things I want to make!
As always beyond excellent !!!!💖💚💖
Thank you so much 😀
You are so talented omg! I tried the mushrooms and they turned out good. I'm so excited for my fairy garden!
This turned out so cute!!!
So wonderful!!! I love your channel so much!! Your projects are wonderful and your voice so happy, soothing, and loving!!
That was awesome to hear and very kind of you to say! Thank you, that went straight to my heart :)
As always AMAZING WORK 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That was wonderful! Your relaxed approach gives me so much confidence to try new things! Love all the details! 👏🏻😀
I'm so glad to hear that! Happy building :)
WOW - LOVE IT, SO CUTE !!
Все очень реалистично. Замечательный МК. Спасибо большое!
So awesome..you never cease to amaze me!
thank you so much!
Love this and all your buildings. You are a master at painting and aging. Love the look of that door. Hard to believe it is cardboard. Have been admiring your work from Ohio for a long time.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos, that means a lot!
I really love this pumpkin house great job. I am going to try to make one.
Have fun!
Oh WOW!..This looks amazing ,I love how you have made a beautiful setting around it ..It’s so detailed !those little mushrooms are just precious too.I think the additional branches has really added more reality to it too ..Looking forward to part 2 😀
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic job.. I might try a simpler version myself... next to watch how you make the mushrooms
Hope you enjoy :)
I Love the Pumpkin house ❤
awesome tips, thank you!
Oh this house is sooooo adorable!! I love it so much!! I have wanted to make a pumpkin house for years. I even bought a pumpkin from Michael's craft store to use. I only got as far as carving out a door & windows. But you have inspired me to now finish it and also to make a smaller one for 1/12 scale. I usually work in 1/6 scale. I want to ad foil to the existing pumpkin because yours is sooooo much better in my opinion than any I have seen available in the stores. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
ohhh thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I had my doubts about the pumpkin at first but I soon fell in love with the imperfections of it. And I think that's a great idea to build onto an existing structure, those kinds of projects can be really fun!
So so adorable!!! Always a GREAT VIDEO! Thanks so much for posting Sharon... Love it!!!
You are so welcome! And thank you!!!!
@@WhereTheGnomesLive Sharon I would like to show you a haunted house I made but I cannot figure out how to attach stuff. My grandson who is 25 years old is a Halloween baby and loves Halloween themed decorations so i'm going to make a very mini version of this pumpkin (like a mini snow globe) for his burthday. Anyway I'm thinking it's probably easy to attach pictures if not technology challenged like me.... I would welcome any suggestions.
unfortunately you can't post photos in youtube comments but if you're on facebook you could post on my page "Where The Gnomes Live" or if you're on instagram you could tag me ojala_crafts If you need either link, let me know :)
@@WhereTheGnomesLive i do follow "where the gnomes live" on Facebook. Let me see if i can figure it out then. I will let you know if i was successful. Thanks so much Sharon.
Sharon I tried doing on facebook but could not find picture to attach it. I went to Instagram and I think I did it...not positive but it said it sent. I wish i had better computer skills ( phone) lol.
It’s just amazing and fun to watch u work!..that pumpkin looks so great when u get the tape on..I try to find viva paper towels at dollar general without any designs and bumps.they r smooth and work soo good.they started getting in new viva with designs and bumps and I complained to the manager..don’t ruin a good thing hahaha..so now he has both..I had 9 rolls when we moved and my hubby said we have plenty of paper towels..I said oh no we don’t.ldont u dare use my paper towels lolol..I have hid them in my craft room so I’m sure they don’t get used..that door is my favorite door u have ever made!!!❤️..are bats going to b living in that dark stump or spiders..?..looove the roof and steps and that technique....and the fence..And fireplace..everything is awesome!!!.ltrying to imagine what u will do to the inside..can’t wait!!!
Love it sooo much!!!!!!! I wished I had more time to make this with my students!!!!
Thank you so very very much for sharing this Sharon, you truly rule! ♥
ohhhh that would have been amazing! I wish I could have gotten it up sooner.. but thank you for the kind words and the love, it means the world!!!
@@WhereTheGnomesLive There is always next year, I might make a really small one this weekend to decorate the classroom, but I'm sure when they know I made it they are going to want to learn!!! and I will show them your video!
♥
That's really adorable ❤️
This is very good.
Lovely
And btw I am in love with your channel! You have given me the bravery to try and make a mouse and I plan to post the result when I have completed it! You are an awesome teacher!
ohhh so glad to hear that and thank you very much! Have fun with your mouse, you can do it! I'll look forward to the update :)
5his is perfect.I love all your ideas.thanks first inspiring me.veronica
Thank you so much!
Wow - wonderful! I'm going to have a go at doing a smaller one - see if I can finish it before Halloween. Thanks for the inspiration!
Have fun :)
This is an awesome project! Love it.....but....if your inhabitants want to open their door from the inside...the door handle is on the wrong side :D Ooops !
lol no oops, it was on purpose. And what's real funny is I actually filmed the little debate I had with myself about that but left it out to save video length, 1hr long was long enough. I had a reason for putting it on that side. It's a pull handle, no hardware to turn, and I planned to make it make sense in part 2 :D
You always have a creative and intentional reason!! Love it.
@@WhereTheGnomesLive ooooo I think I might see where this going....now to see if I can wait til part 2! :)
Amazing as alway's ❤️
Thank you!! 😊
This looks amazing ! Just finishing off the scary tree with my daughter, excited to try this 😘👌
Hope you enjoy it!
SOOO KOOOOOLLLLL
Great work , amazing finish .
Mike Espo..
thank you!!!
