I continue to be inspired by Scandinavian design this week. Behold, a little box! Another container for holding goodies! The door opens for filling and emptying. Or for entry for a wee gnome (in Swedish, tomte).
I think that this house would be a sweet party favor. A village of these would make an adorable count-down calendar for your favorite holiday. Please send me photos if you try out the template!
I plan on revisiting this house in fabric as well. How cute would this be with a button closure on the door? When I do, I'll post a pattern for you.
*Yes, the umlaut is superfluous. I can't help myself. Maybe it's exposure to eighties hair bands. I also have the urge to give this house a first name.
...and he spoke to the häuser in tomte language a silent little language that only häuser can understand.
