Weed the Gnome

For Valentine's Day, I got Blake the book A Donsy of Gnomes which has a collection of 7 gnome stories. At the end of the book, there is a section for all sorts of gnomey crafts. After reading just one of the stories, Blake was hooked and wanted to make and do all the crafts! Our first project was to make the beard. Thankfully, I had some black wool yarn and the beard was whipped up in about 10 minutes.

pretty handsome, no?
all gnomes need a bag for collecting treasures! Blake sewed this all by himself following the pattern in the book! This was his first solo sewing project and he was so proud (as was I!). I think he did such an awesome job.

Here he is putting some treasures in his bag. Next on the to do list is a hat!
