The baby gnome, growing up around noisy siblings, sleeps the soundest when he is around the gay bantering of woodland unicorns.
Here is the technology gnome who fixes all your technical doohickeys and thingamabobs. With his axe. Click here to see comments on this on facebook.
Here is my tutorial for making a simple miniature ax!
Over the Ski break last week, I made a few ducks to add to the scene. The background is our lovely Irvine Lake in Orange County, California!
Each rock and flower is handmade with love by a team of moms!
