Original G-nome
I wondered when I'd have a go at needle felting. Lucky for me my friend, Sara, has a craft supply shop in her garage. ;) First, I made a loose shape of a beard out of felt, then sewed the roving onto it in areas where it won't show. Then I made a lining of felt and hand stitched it to cover up the fuzzy edges and to strengthen it. Of course, it has fuzzy edges anyway.
What do you call a group of gnomes? A herd? A pod? A posse?

What a great costume idea. Especially effective as a group.
A forest of gnomes? I'll think about it....
Hmm, the first thing that popped into my head was "haggle." Do gnomes haggle? They seem like they would... But I like "forest" too.
And wow, they look fantastic!
Looks mighty fun at your place too!!
close to haggle is a gaggle! a gaggle of gnomes haggling? love the costumes! did you all trick or treat? you'll have to post some of the reactions!
I belief my german opa referred to a group of gnomes as a "gnarl". but my memory is none to sharp on this point. anyway, youse guys look grand!
Okay, you guys rock!
Thanks for the gnome love.
Zoe: I didn't hear anything specific about reactions. Those who knew really enjoyed it, though. Check out the movie my sister made after she left our house.

How about a gathering?
Very cool and too cute!!!
I found out last night that everyone loves a gnome. I've never had so many people want to take pictures of my Halloween costume.
I love the eyebrows on your husband! Great touch. You guys are the coolest. :)
What very bountiful beards - that is very important in the world of gnomes. I tried making a wooly beard years ago for a wizard costume and I bow to you and your superior beard-making technique.
a flock?
looks good, whatever we/you/they call it!
A knot of gnomes.
(Making sure one pronounces the k and g).
That's a great idea for a costume! You need a pic of you out in the garden with those on.
i love it!!! :) And i will now spend the rest of my day pondering just what one DOES call a group of gnomes....
Oh so very funny!
I think it might be a gnot of gnomes or maybe a garden of gnomes.teehee. I wish I could dress my family up in gnomish attire- they would at least be more entertaining that way!!!!
That's hilarious!
I've been begging my son to let me do that to him for halloween for YEARS! He always says no lol.
that last comment that says it's from "miss button" is really from me. My daughter was signed in to blogger...oops.
