Meet Our Whimsy

I can’t remember where I read it, as I have been on a lot of blogs admiring handmade felt or wooden gnomes, but somewhere I came across the plural term for a group of gnomes as being a whimsy.  How wonderfully appropriate!

Over Christmas, after finding this tutorial, I went a bit gnome-happy with some peg dolls I found in the back of my craft cupboard. In a couple of evenings, I whipped up a dozen colourful friends and even improvised a little baby gnome with a needle-felted head.
