Hello and welcome to my Folksy shop! I've been making for others since 2013 and if you'd like to see what my customers have said about my work since then (before I opened up here on Folksy), you can read more than 1,000 reviews on my web site: http://www.thecrimsonrabbit.co.uk/ (click 'Reviews' on the bar at the top of the page).
In addition to the UK, I'm happy to ship most items to the US, Canada, Japan and Australia - just message me for a shipping quotation if a shipping price isn't shown against an item you're interested in. Please note that all US shipping prices shown DO NOT include tracking. If you'd like your package sent with tracking, please message me for a quotation.
Many of the pieces I make are made to order and the shipping time is a 'worse case scenario' estimate - I will often make and send items quicker than indicated, although things do sometimes slow down at busy times. If you want something urgently, just message me and I'll confirm if I can meet your deadline. Some items over £30 are posted via the 'Tracked 24' Royal Mail service automatically, but if you'd like to make sure you have this on your order, just message me.
I'm more active on Instagram than anywhere else: https://www.instagram.com/the_crimson_rabbit/ but you can always find me online elsewhere: my blog is here: www.thecrimsonrabbit.co.uk, my facebook page here: www.facebook.com/thecrimsonrabbitpage and my Pinterest addiction is evidenced here: http://www.pinterest.com/crimsonrabbit/

Full description
For anyone who doesn't know, the tomte is a mythical creature from Scandinavian folklore associated with the winter solstice and Christmas. They have different names in different countries but are essentially little protectors of the home. I've made a few over the years and put them on my stairs at Christmas. When I saw the pattern for this mini version, I thought it was perfect. If you want to make one for yourself, the pattern is by Nataliia who you can find on Instagram at myfeltroom.
My tomte is made with pure wool felt and everything is hand-stitched and embroidered and beaded. He's rather diminutive at just 15cm / 6" tall - perfect for standing on the festive table this Christmas, or standing wherever you'd like him, to guard your home with his little mittened hands and trusty Christmas tree! He stands really well as I've added a piece of mountboard at the bottom and a little bag filled with lead shot to give him extra weight. The rest of him is filled with fire retardant stuffing and his beard is faux fur in a white and grey shade. His tree is embroidered and beaded with glass and metal beads and is held in his mitten with a few invisible stitches. He'll be a lovely heirloom ornament for many winters to come.
Your Tomte will arrive in a white cardboard box with red shred bedding, wrapped in recyclable paper and tied with a bow. I'm happy to write a gift card if you like (especially if it's a gift for yourself!) - just tell me what to write in the comments box.
