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.

Those gnomes are cute! And a lot of animals have made their way to the stable!
ReplyDeleteStables are made for animals. Can't think why I need one in my sitting room.
DeleteOur grandson loves gnomes and plays with our pair when he visits, lovely to see the animals at the stable.
ReplyDeletegreat to have things which children can play with.
DeleteLove the gnomes-what clever makes. Hope someone is keeping the stable yard clean with all this animals having arrived. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping someone will arrive to look after them soon or I may have to do the job myself.
DeleteAre the animals in the little drawers with the chocolates? It's going to get crowded in there soon!
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
DeleteVery cute gnomes. I often mixed them up with elves.
ReplyDeleteHard to tell them apart. At least for Muggles.
DeleteThese are definitely gnomes. I do not consider them to be gonks [which is what they call them in some shops, I notice]
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed gnomes and not gonks. Gnomes have a much richer heritage than gonks. They would be mightily offended at any confusion.
DeleteNext year I plan on making some tea towels with embroidered gnomes. Or at least I hope to make them.
ReplyDeleteThe stables are certainly getting occupied.
God bless.
I suspect that the stable will get positively crowded over the next couple of weeks.
