G is for gnome

Elves aren't the only magical creatures to have muscled in on Christmas.  Gnomes have established themselves too!

I made these two fine fellows to adorn bottles of prosecco.

And this Dopey one to hang on my tree.  


This seems a good opportunity to check on the stable which has appeared in my sitting room.  

With three sheep, one horse, one donkey and one goat.

But it's six chocolates lighter.

  1. Those gnomes are cute! And a lot of animals have made their way to the stable!

    1. Stables are made for animals. Can't think why I need one in my sitting room.

  2. Our grandson loves gnomes and plays with our pair when he visits, lovely to see the animals at the stable.

    1. I'm hoping someone will arrive to look after them soon or I may have to do the job myself.

  4. Are the animals in the little drawers with the chocolates? It's going to get crowded in there soon!

    1. They are. I feel I am doing the animals a huge favour when I take the chocolate from the cupboards and let them (the animals) seek the open air of the stable.

  5. Very cute gnomes. I often mixed them up with elves.

  6. These are definitely gnomes. I do not consider them to be gonks [which is what they call them in some shops, I notice]

    1. They are indeed gnomes and not gonks. Gnomes have a much richer heritage than gonks. They would be mightily offended at any confusion.

  7. Next year I plan on making some tea towels with embroidered gnomes. Or at least I hope to make them.
    The stables are certainly getting occupied.
    God bless.

    1. I suspect that the stable will get positively crowded over the next couple of weeks.
