Gnome Door Project Update
It's gone.
Remember the gnome door from 2011?
We checked on it once in 2012 and it was still there. We visited the location this weekend and it was gone. Judging from the downed trees and branches, it looks like the area was hit really hard by the Halloween hurricane, so I'm thinking the wind and heavy rain washed it away.

Maybe the rain poured down through the top of the stump and forced mud and debris and stump gunk out through the gnome doorway.

Gnome Door Project (Update)
Last September, we set up a little gnome door along a walking trail in a state park (original post here). Yesterday we checked on it and it was still there...slightly obscured by some weeds and branches.
So we cleaned it up a bit.
Currently seeking gnomes.

The Gnome Home Project
Finally got around to a little project I mentioned a while back. Placing a gnome door at the base of a tree in an area where a pedestrian will see it. Ultimately I'll place one where it won't be easy for a person to investigate, like on the side of a road near a traffic light, so the driver or passenger will see it briefly as they pass.

Gnome Homes
Was thinking that it'd be a funny prank of sorts (and a neat creative hobby) for someone who loves to build miniature houses to make tiny rounded door fixtures to fit at the base of trees where roots are exposed. So when people are walking along a trail in some wooded area or park, they'd see a tiny detailed gnome home door. They could even add little footprints leading to and fro. But nothing too obvious. It'd have to be crude. And it'd have to look weathered and practical.
GnomeHomes.com would be a great site to check in on (I'd assume they'd photo-log the whole process).
I can see it now.
