Hello and welcome to my blog... !
I'm Emma Lamb, an English girl living in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland. As well as a blogger I am a textile designer, crocheter and online shop owner who also likes to pretend that she is a photographer and stylist, at least I do within the safety of this blog and my own shop.
My most favourite things in life are my Man, my English Cocker spaniel called Spanner, my parents, dark chocolate, long walks, stony beaches, fresh mint tea, yarn, blue skies, red wine, my studio, great films, pouring over the shelves of vintage shops and noticing the wee details in the world around me. All of these are my inspiration.
You can find out more about me and my creative work in my Etsy Featured Seller interview, from April 2012, and my UK Handmade interview in the Winter 2011 edition (p.58) of their quarterly magazine.
This blog is a place for me to share my creations and inspirations alongside all the wonderful finds and talented creators I discover within our creative community.
Regular themes include:
the world through my eyes - for my photography
my lovely ladies - for my crochet design work
colour palette - exploring my own and found colour inspiration
colour your monday happy - concluded in 2011 to make way for 'making everyday beautiful' (see below)
art + design + illustration
designer makers
etsy favourites
I also run a Flickr group called 'making everyday beautiful' where I encourage members of our creative community to share and celebrate their creativity through the beautiful moments in their day to day life. I regulary feature some of my personal favourites on this blog, see making everyday beautiful.
To get in touch you can easily contact me through Facebook.
If you are interested in my crochet work for features or possible custom orders you can contact me through my shops - Etsy / Folksy.
Thank you for stopping by... !
Emma, x
