I didn't pick it up, but maybe I should have as the reviews are on the whole good:
What do you do when life is too chaotic? How about felting a gnome? Or 365 of them, one for each day of the year.
Artist and wool crafter Jessica Peill-Meininghaus decided that she needed a project to teach herself follow-through in life. She settled on making one of her popular felted-wool gnomes every day for a year. With pipe cleaners and wool roving, amidst the chaos of raising four children and moving cross-country, Peill-Meininghaus felted her way through hundreds of charming, pointy-hatted, often bearded characters.
Lavishly decorated with photos of each charming creation, The Gnome Project is the surprising and magical story of what happens when we commit to something small. (Hint: It's something very big, as in making life more meaningful.) Here is her inspirational tale, complete with gnome-making instructions.

Well, that is a project!!!!
I'm going to write a book about cleaning litter trays,and how it's changed my life! Seriously wonder what publishers think is a good read.

How funny that you would see that book just after making all of your gnomes! That is a lot of gnomes. I wonder what she did with them all. (But probably not enough to purchase the book.). Ha!

Quite a project!
That would be an awesome project! One that I could totally imagine doing myself too! I love whimsical little creatures!
What a lot of gnomes.
Well! Fancy that. I have two gnomes and can testify to their ownership becoming attic time!
Neat project, you could do the knitting version :)
Amazing, one would think that knitting a gnome a day is a really big project!!!
God bless.
How about that!
