Nisse gnome craze

A julenisse (Christmas Nisse) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore but today it is typically associated with Christmas season. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing dark colours with a red hat. When I first started creating these iconic Scandi creatures some 7 years ago they were rarely seen or featured in Christmas here in the UK, in 2022 they are everywhere! I had actually started making them as gifts for family and friends, who all encouraged my to make them to sell.

Over the past Few years I have been slowly expanding my range of Norwegian inspired creations, sharing my love of my heritage through what I design, make and bake.

Lockdown Cake Celebration – Syttende Mai

The 17 May (syttende mai) is The National Day of Norway theres usual parades held across Norway to celebrate with traditional national costumes (bunads) worn, flags waving and hurra shouting, alot of hot dogs, ice cream eaten and games with family and friends. But this year on lockdown this was to look very different across Norway but also for those (including us) who would be celebrating from afar this year. But just because the celebrations would be much smaller this year didn’t mean I wouldn’t still celebrate through some cake creations sharing the traditions and love for my heritage.

Pressed Flower Wings

Spring has sprung and its so nice to see flashes of colour back in the garden. The days are warmer and were all spending more time in the garden. Homeschooling is challenging most days but crafts and activities always seem to help with the teaching and learning. Whilst searching for crafts to do with my daughter around the theme of ‘spring’ I found lots of wonderful projects using pressed flowers and thought these would be great to do to help learn more about spring. So we thought we’d share some tried and tested projects.
