Attack of the gnome people

I love this hat! My mom made it for Owen (obviously). He is just too cute in it. Thank god my mom is around to give him all those fabulous home made things that I am too craftily-inept to make for him. It took me FIVE years to make a Christmas wall hanging. It was cross stitch and took me forever. I decided I had to finish it for last Christmas. I was literally finishing it the weeks before Owen was due. Well on the 24th of November, I was just putting the finishing touches on it and I said out loud "Ok kid, just let me finish this and then you can come". No word of a lie, I put the finished wall hanging in a drawer and my water broke as I was shutting the drawer. Cris is my witness!! I think we were both ready, Owen and I. My five year project was behind me so now I could handle a little thing called labour.
