- A small Vlog to make up for my absence over the month of November. I make a quilt, feed solids to my infant, and talk about thankfulness.

Замечательная мама и хозяйка! Прекрасные дети! ❤ 👍👍👍
Thanks so much.
I also wasn't ready for winter things in November! 😊 The only countries with Thanksgiving are the US and Canada. I was a grown up the first time I heard about it.
Advent used to be the big thing before Christmas here, so when I grew up, the Christmas tree came up on «Lille julaften» (23rd December, Little Christmas Eve). We celebrate «julaften» (Christmas Eve). Seems like the American Christmas is seeping into Norway as well, and more and more people decorate in November already. Must admit I think it's sad to see all the American traditions taking over, and the Norwegian ones disappear.
Lovely quilt! My ex's mum is a quilt maker, and she taught me to make them, but I stopped doing it years ago.
That is so interesting about Christmas not really being a thing in your country. Most of what the US does for Christmas, was from what the Germans brought over here in the 1600s-1800s, but many people who were of certain religious sects did not celebrate it because it was based on many pagan beliefs. It wasn't until after Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and Queen Victoria putting up a tree in England that it spread over here, and then with the 1930s advertising of Coca Cola that Santa became a thing here. Not a lot of people celebrate Advent in the US, other than within churches.
@@TheMennomilist Oh, Christmas is HUGE here. Many still do Advent with the four candles and all that stuff, but more people put up regular Christmas decorations and their Christmas tree rather than decorating for Advent, like they used to. Norway has done "jul" (Norwegian word for Christmas/Yule) for a long time, even since before the country was made Christian in a not very nice way during the Viking age. 😉 It's very family oriented, and from 17:00 on Christmas Eve, the country shuts down. Everyone are expected to be having dinner and opening presents with their families. On Christmas Day, most things are still closed, but public transport have mostly started running again. Christmas here is by far more tradition bound compared to for example Ireland, where my partner's from. I'm sorry if I made the impression Christmas isn't a big thing here, I must have not be clear. It still very much is. It's just Advent that has gotten "smaller". It's still kind of a thing, just not as huge as it was when I grew up.
Such a pretty baby! Congrats .
Thanks Tranquitronquista. I hope you have been doing well!!!
yes, sometimes the camera gets in the way... all our kids had to be nursed to sleep. I respect that people can sleep train, but that's not us here. lol. I love your quilt! So talented!
Thanks so much for watching. I am glad to hear that you nursed your kids to sleep too. It is rare that my kids would just "fall asleep" when put down for bed as babies. I established a great naptime routine once they were weened though. Thanks for liking my quilt!
