My army of...

This is my army of minions gnomes. Behold! They stand in their stoney glory.

And now for that cringe worthy, internal groan producing pun that we've all probably heard before somewhere on the internet: To gnome me is to love me.

That gets me grinning from ear to ear every single time.

And now for something completely different. As many of you know, I've been stuck at home for the last gazillion months. Growing bone takes a very long time, after all. As a result, I've developed a hint of cabin fever. And when I say a hint, I mean a full blown case of it. One of the ways I try to combat this is by getting out of the house everyday (or every other day, depending on how I'm feeling), even if it's just a quick trip to Walmart or a drive through the city. It doesn't really matter what I do, as long as I get out, feel the sun and see some other human beings. But another way I try to keep sane is by redecorating my room. Well, as much as possible when on crutches, anyways. This is one to the things I came up with over the winter:

I got the little mushroom decorations from Ikea, on sale after Christmas (0.50$ per box of eight). I've always had a thing for post cards and stationary, so I had lots of pretty things lying about to put up on the wall. And then I got colouring post cards last fall!

The fun part is, it's really easy to change things up now because the pictures are held up with little clothe hangers. I can take stuff down, add more, etc., whenever I need a change of scenery.

Also - look at the shiny things! XD Cheap cork board from Ikea, a bit of ribbon, some thumbtacks and a nail and you're all set to go.

Edit - speaking about gnomes, I found this beauty at a garden tour last spring:
