I made these for my first Unglued Craft Fest in 2022. I didn't expect to be making them again in 2025.

If you know, you know.

Either way, stop by my booth this weekend to pick up your free pin while supplies last.

Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

What's your favorite Christmas movie?

If you know me, you know mine features a skyscraper, Bruce Willis, and a German Severus Snape!

You can add a bit of Die Hard to your own tree with this reversible ornament. Go from R to G-rated in a snap for when Grandma comes over 😉

First day of October... leaves are changing... temps are cooling... you know what this means...

Time to start thinking about the Nordic Holiday Weekend at the Concordia Language Villages!!

If you know me at all, you know I L.O.V.E. the holidays and this magical weekend retreat at my home-away-from-home is one of my absolute favorite parts of the season. Picture this... a nice weekend spent with friends, baking cookies, making crafts, learning something new, eating delicious Nordic food, drinking amazing spiced wine, and leaving with so many goodies you can hardly believe it. All while staying at a picturesque venue right outside of Bemidji with roaring fires, cozy nooks, and beautiful scenery.

Want to join me (and my mom and my sister and my friend and my cousin-in-law and my numerous other friends I've made over the years)?

Hey guys... remember me?!

Unlike most makers, summer is my slow season since I'm away at my favorite place in the north woods spreading my love of Norwegian for most of those months. Well, I'm back now and ready for a fun-filled fall and holiday season!!

Come say 'hi' tonight at Folkways Night Bazaar at Broadway Square. The magic is happening tonight until 10!

Har du hørt... har du sett...

We're only 2 weeks away from Syttende Mai (also known as Norwegian Constitution Day)!! Are you ready to celebrate?

If not... or you have no idea what I'm talking about but really wish you did... join me and at least 1 special guest to learn all about the history of the day, learn a bit of 'norsk', and make some fun crafts too.

Hint: the special guest will be turning 11 on attende mai... much less celebrated globally but equally celebrated in our house. Just no parade

Create 3 super easy crafts to get ready to celebrate Norway's Constitution Day!
