I was in a holiday home and it was set on fire, everyone I was with escaped safely and we somehow managed to get every item out - other than my Oasis CD. I was crying about it for hours while my friend tried to comfort me.

Holiday: Gnome Makeover
This past winter I was gifted a fun little cloth gnome ornament in greyscale with a knitted hat and some felt antlers. I am someone who is pretty enthusiastic about gnomes, but I found this gnome’s design to be a little sloppy and lacking.
As is my tradition of naming mass produced gnomes, I named this little gray cutie Holiday after the company that produces it, Holiday Home.
This is his before picture, captured from a promotional shot because I forgot to take an actual before picture.
My first decision was that those antlers had to go. Not only did they look dorky, but they weren’t even centered properly. I definitely wanted to do some beard styling, and I decided to change the shape of the hat as well.
I realized antlers really weren’t a bad idea for a gnome, though, and the idea of a gnome with antlers gave Holiday a little extra character that just a plain gnome wouldn’t have. I decided to sculpt some new antlers for Holiday from polymer clay and paint them.
I gave him a nose job (paint job, that is) and tucked and sewed his hat on the sides to make it more of a traditional gnomely cone shape.
I stuck a wire through his head to support the antlers, braided and glued the bottom of his beard, curled his moustache with a little gluestick for wax.
Looking at the felt from the antlers, I realized it was the perfect shape and size to make some little feet and arms, so I took a little fabric glue and went for that. I had to re-glue the twine ornament hanger too because it wasn’t actually at the center of the hat originally.
Final result of this little guy:
