- Hi friend! First of all, I reached 1,000 subscribers this week. It blows my mind! Thank you so so much for subscribing, watching, and all the lovely comments. You guys are amazing. 💖
In this video I'm making a traditional Finnish Christmas ornament, have brunch with my mum and sister, and visit the Helsinki Christmas Market.
The ornament is called himmeli, and if you have watched my videos before, you'll have seen one hanging by my living room window. I really like the geometric shape of it. They are surprisingly easy to make, I really recommend trying it out if you like crafting and diys. You can find loads of tutorials online, here are a couple of links:

Hope you enjoyed the video, and let me know if you decide to give himmeli-making a go! 😊

Wow, that is one impressive coaster! The one out of a geode. Nice!
Beautiful handcraft. I enjoy your videos so much I could watch them everyday. Greetings from Munich, Germany
This was so relaxing to watch, I have never heard of a himmeli before. Helsinki looks lovely. When I was young my best friend's Mum was Finnish, she married an English man and lived in England for many years but returned to Finland a few years ago.
Hi Emmi,
Lovely, peaceful video. I'm sure that your sister will your gift especially as it was made with much love, thought, and care. 💚
I am about to go to bed. Watching this video puts a smile on my face. Love from Malaysia.
I love your videos. Seeing more of the Christmas Market would have been wonderful.
Greetings, how beautiful and with what patience you make crafts, thanks for sharing so much love. Kiitos
Thank you. I had forgotten how to make himmeli, used to make them as a child.
So I'm ready to watch. I have my cup of hot chocolate, cozy blanket and my dog, sitting next to me. :)))) Thanks for sharing with us.
Pretty. I can see it made from white straws with colorful string.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch! What a beautiful Christmas ornament! Helsinki looks like a great city
Thank you for inviting us into your home. I really enjoy watching your channel. Helsinki is beautiful and so clean! It's on my bucket list to visit😍
100% marvelous.....thanks
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦, new subscriber....love your content. Your town/country is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
this is such a beautiful and peaceful place..
Hello from a new subscriber :) I've just discovered your channel and cannot stop watching!
What a lovely ornament! You make it look fairly easy, but I suspect it would be a very different story if I were to try. 😂 Helsinki looks beautiful. I thought you would have snow by now. We did have some snow in southern Ontario, Canada, but it melted. Bad weather moving in tonight. Keep well.
In Ukraine we have exactly the same tradition! I live in Sweden now and it’s interesting that the decoration is Finnish despite the Swedish name!
Hello from the US! I noticed them in your window in a video I recently watched and wondered what it was. It's so interesting looking! Thanks for including links to make the himmeli!
