| A Christmas greeting in the porch |
The days in December leading up to Christmas can be fraught if we are not careful. rushing here and there and trying hard to be as prepared as possible whilst going also going about our daily lives. However, I do think it important to take a moment out to be with friends and family too, after all this season is supposed to be about that isn't it?
Last week I invited my crochet ladies over for a few nibbles and some gløgg, it was a lovley evening and felt full of warmth and happieness.
Afer having seen badges like this on the selling website Etsy...

| These badges gave me an idea... |
I decided to make some of my own, with various crochet phrases, unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures but I wrapped them up and everyone took one at random, we did have a few laughs as the quotes picked out seemed to fit each recipient well...

| This saying was my favourite!!! |
 |
| A festive kitchen adds to the warmth of the season |
 |
| Norwegian savoury waffles with a mixture of toppings is a quick and lovely treat to offer visitors |
 |
| Here we have a combo of brie and redcurrant, Wensleydale and caramelised onion, salami and bean salad and salmon and lemon on savoury waffles |
 |
| Cardamon cake for recipe click here |
 |
| Cardamom cake, a hint of Christmas flavour without being too overpowering |
 |
| So far there is only a touch of red, the house will become decorated from the 20th onwards and the tree on 23rd |
 |
| AS well as savoury waffles and cardamom cake, here you see 5 of the 7 Christmas bakes that a Norwegian house makes leading up to Christmas |
 |
| Candles are used throughout the winter to add to the feeling of warmth both mentally and physically, but be careful and watch out, they are of course a fire hazard! |

in your home with loved ones
