Therefore, he is now the Permanent Official Guardian of The Big Basket of Cushions in the living room and has settled into his new responsibilities quite well.
And he is no longer nameless. Because of his rather magnificent beard, he has proudly taken the moniker of:
Fearsome the Fierce!
He chose this name because he is a great admirer of the blog Fearsome Beard and checks out the featured "Beard of the Day" regularly, if you know what I mean.

Hello Debra, Do they also scrub floors? Maybe I need a Nordic gnome for myself!
ReplyDelete--Jim
I hope you are feeding little Fearsome oatmeal with butter, or he might get grumpy.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't want the job of guardian of the cushions? But if he gets out of line again, HRH may need to have a word with him. That should set him straight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job, Mr. Fierce! I hope Debra's paying you a living wage and adhering to all provincial Labour Laws, or at least minimum wage plus room & board, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful,
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have 3 Gnomes that like to hang around. I often find them in my woods doing things. What a perfect place for him and the beard is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteOh ... I love that pillow with the eyes!
Being a guardian of the cushions is an important job!
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/ANgulkJBJVM ... Sending love, cat and her cat Theo Thunderbutt.
ReplyDeleteGlad he is finally out of the cupboard for good.
ReplyDeleteI think guarding The Big Basket of Cushions is the most important position!
ReplyDeletewho DOESN'T love fearsome beard! guard those cushions well!
ReplyDeleteHe needs to be careful around that cushion with the eyes. It looks a bit untrustworthy.
ReplyDeleteI love the name and I think he will be excellent at his job. I think I'll join in the fun of checking out "the beard of the day" too!
ReplyDeleteHe
ReplyDeleteIs
Fabulously Fearsome The Fierce!
Honored to share in his Beardom I am.
Now I kind of feel bad about shoving my Christmas elf back into the box.
ReplyDeletegreat to have a gnome in the house. Love these Nordic gnomes.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a gnome to be reckoned with.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great name! And he'll do well guarding those cushions! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm betting you will smile every single time you see him!
ReplyDeleteLove the name ~
He looks right at home there! <3
ReplyDeleteI guard cushions as often as I can.
ReplyDeleteFearsome could hold his own in Beard of the Day.
ReplyDeleteFearsome the Fierce will likely be softened in his new cushy home.
ReplyDeleteThe guardian of the cushions. But he's so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly associate gnomes with Christmas. I think it's fine to have him out all year round.
ReplyDeleteHe got a good and awful name. Infections will not come near to your house.
ReplyDeleteIt would be sad to hide him away all year. He looks fearsome.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun little guy to have around year around! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteGnomes must have a job - yes. Having him responsible for the cushion basket is good. I have an old garden gnome that needed some repair so I brought him in. Currently he is watching over the bulbs growing in the kitchen window!
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Fearsome the Fierce will take his new duties seriously and live up to the expectations that have been placed on him. Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE his name and If I visit, I will ask kindly before removing a cushion. :)
ReplyDeleteNone shall harm a cushions, as long as that formidable nose is watching!
ReplyDeleteHe looks happy...unlike my tribe that have been packed away til next year...Hope you are having a good weekend..
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! He is so cute! Love the name!! He will do his job proudly, protecting the big basket of cushions! Love your cat cushion Deb! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeletea very good name.
ReplyDeleteHowever, i will disagree that is no gnome but a Tomte
I pronounce it Ganome
ReplyDeletegood name but you work his nose into the name
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, love his new name and his new job! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the name!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he deserves to be out and about, no?
XOXO
What a good idea! And, a perfect job for the perfectly named gnome. His beard is magnificent. I'm sure he'll do a damned fine job.
ReplyDeleteI really love Fearsome the Fierce! I do no blame him for not wanting to be put away until Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI also would have him out all year round.
He's a Gonk! :D
ReplyDeleteLove him. We have one of his relatives but sadly he had to go away with the festive decorations.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Fearsome the Fierce has settled into a cushy job very well!
