Day 5 - Tomte Christmas Gnomes

I made a batch of these fellows last year and I loved them so much I wanted to make them once again. This year they are quite a bit smaller (but just as cute).


Tomte are Scandinavian creatures associated with yuletide. They are delightfully gnomish and since I collect gnomes I love them dearly.


They are cute as buttons and making them is a lot of fun. Their personalities just seem to pop out as soon as those white whiskers are put into place.


Tomte, elves and sugar plum fairies... is it any wonder I adore Christmastime?!

  4. I saw these "pop up" for just a moment a few days ago, like the Tomte tend to, and then vanish. . . and I have been waiting for them since! So cute!! You're making Christmas a little brighter each and every day Nichola!
