Behind the Scenes - Gnome Edition

Welcome to the magical mayhem behind the curtain—aka Kalieh’s craft lair, where gnomes are born, glitter multiplies on its own, and no fabric scrap is ever truly thrown away.

Every single gnome you see? Handcrafted by these two hands (plus a few hot glue burns and a LOT of iced coffee). From picking the perfect beard fluff to stitching on teeny hats, it’s all done one gnome at a time—with way too much talking to myself along the way.

This isn’t some factory line. It’s a cozy corner of creative chaos where inspiration strikes at midnight, and the floor is basically made of felt trimmings.

So whether it’s a mischievous little woodland gnome or a spooky Halloween sprite, know that it was dreamed up, stitched up, and occasionally re-stitched (oops) by me, with love, laughter, and probably an unhealthy amount of podcast binging.

Take a peek at the process, and see just how much magic—and mess—goes into bringing each gnome to life. ✨
