Before I show my project, I wanted to take a moment to thank Joan and Carol for all of their hard work organizing these blog hops. I won't be participating in the Christmas hop, so since they are ending this will be my final one! The hops have been lots of fun, and challenging, and have really kept my creative juices flowing over the years. So thank you ladies, so much! And I also will miss hopping with everyone and seeing all the wonderful projects you create.

Now, back to my project...Our theme is Gnomes, and Thanksgiving or something we're thankful for.
My project was inspired by a fond Thanksgiving-time memory. My dear friend Suzanne used to host epic pie parties, usually the week after Thanksgiving. There was always a good crowd, and we'd each bring a pie...or two or three. Suzanne usually made three, including apple and key lime. I would always make pecan pie without using corn syrup, as well as a berry pie. The type of berry pie depended upon which berry did the best in our garden that year. We grew blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. I say "grew" because we've moved and no longer even have a garden, let alone one large enough to grow berries. But I digress...
Everyone else at the party would purchase or bake a pie to bring. Suzanne would of course offer tea and coffee, as well as big bowls of freshly whipped cream to top the pies. We'd talk and eat for hours, and it was such a fun time!
My project was inspired by these pie parties.
Last month, for the Halloween hop, I made some wool felt donuts.
So this time...how about some cookies?
First, there are pie cookies:
Next, per our theme, gnomes who are pie wedge-shaped:
