The Lucky Gnome Project is a very special project that created while I was undergoing my cancer/chemo treatment.
The chemotherapy left me with permanent nerve damage/CIPN(chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy) in my hands as well as foot drop in both feet among other side effects.
The numbness, tingling, cramping/spasms and reduced dexterity in my hands has made a lot of simple daily tasks extremely difficult.
Knitting/crocheting and assembling these gnomes has become part of my healing journey. It helps me to build strength and dexterity while reducing the severity of the symptoms. What started as a hobby has become a form of occupational/physical/emotional therapy all in one.
European legend says that the gnomes protect and bring prosperity, luck and good health to the people and homes they watch over. My signature is the daisy which represents hope, happiness and love. Together they will bring the best of luck, health, happiness and love to you, your family, and your home.
So, if any of my gnomes appeal to you and bring a smile, then please feel free to take it home. By the same token, if you know of someone who needs a little luck and happiness, please SHARE. There are no strings and no obligations.
If you would like to pay it forward and make a donation so that I can continue to bring smiles, it would be truly appreciated. Every little bit helps and makes it possible for me to continue on this journey. It is my way of giving back to the community.
Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement.
