Okay, so the gnome story didn't turn out like I wanted it to. I wanted it to be this happy, fluffy little thing that was all cute and whatnot. But would it turn out that way? Noooooo... no, it had to be all sad and weird and not what I wanted. I hate when stories run off on their own and drag me with them. But whatever.

On a side note, I'm learning needle tatting, which is a form of lace-making. It's actually quite interesting - and a lot easier than crochet/knitting, to my mind. One needle, one thread, and one stitch. You just shape it differently according to the pattern. I'm trying to make a Christmas ornament at the moment (the picture is the ornament I'm working on) - not the easiest pattern in the book, but far from the hardest. It's not really pretty right now, but then again I did only start working on this today. Maybe this could be a new hobby for me.
