My first math gnome

I'm feeling under the weather but I still want to do something, so I tried to make a math gnome today. I'd say it was a success as I'm not crafty but I can copy. If I can make it, you all can make it. You can find the tutorial here on Elizabeth Foss's webiste. Her instructions are also very clear as I need easy, clear instruction with lots of photos to be able to understand.

J tells me to make 2 and leave her 2 to make herself so check out her blog for gnome updates if you like at a later date. In Enki, he is called "Paddy Plus".


I had a hard time taking a good photo more than anything else. If you don't want to do much sewing, you can also get ideas by taking a look at other gnomes Elizabeth Foss made. Those, the signs are made with markers.

I also want to post our little science experiment with the white carnations, after our celery experiment fell flat. As many of you have wisely told me, the white carnations (I almost typed wise carnation) :-P worked so much better. The result can seen in about less than 1 minute, especially the green one. And even the red, you can't see it on the petals, but you can tell as the whole flowers changing color and it's a pink hue. It was really pretty. J did this in her kinder class so she knew how it would turn out and wasn't too excited. Prime didn't care much about flowers. Is that a boy thing? He will later though, I think. :) So I am the one who was most excited. LOL!


Just playing with my camera, seeing if I need the flash.
