Final product for now - Gnome house to be

Needles

There are needles to repair your clothes. 

And needles to knit a sweater.

You can use pine needles to create a basket.

But if you own a pine tree you have more needles than you would ever want.

You have pine needles to cover your grass – (really there is grass under there).

And pine needles to cover ALL your gardens. 

After many years of sweeping up pine needles and looking at the needle-bare pine, we had the tree taken down.
.

What's left?  Only the gnomes know for now.
