I believe in passion
Passion for leading a creative life
It is a true nourishment of the spirit

| the new Victoria Cowl in squash |
Grew to be a quick obsession.
Never knowing it would take me places...
or surround me with some of the most amazing creative people.

| the Astrid Cowl in carrot |
and feel a bit of a loss as I have loved creating these babies.
But at the same time super excited they will a part of someone's life.
We made these as gifts for some lovely neighbors for valentines day and I loved them so I thought I would share them in the shop.
And I love to watch him work in his element.
And the king in his...
In a crowded stage of musicians I could only catch glimpses of the king all the way in the back.
He rocked the stage on those drums at the winter concert.

Stay tuned I will be having a giveaway soon only on my Instagram page.
We have grandma over next week for the king's 12th birthday.
Have a great Valentine's day and thanks for the support!

I love your cowls and feel the same way about my knitting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks I am a fan of your work too ;)!
DeleteLove the orange!
ReplyDeleteAnd the wooden hearts are truly gorgeous. You have a talented family there.
Many thanks Alison! The orange is favorite too. That wool from Uruguay is incredibly soft and yummy.
DeleteWe had a lot of fun making the hearts.
I love that you began as a way to keep your hands busy. That's kind of why I started my blog....to keep my mind busy. It's so nice when creative outlets become passions and vice versa. Lovely new things your hands have made, Alma :)
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet Sarah..it not only keeps my hand busy but mostly keeps me sane.
DeleteWe all moms need that in some form... daily.
Thanks for the love ;)

Deleteya tengo tu mejor regalo, que eres tú misma!
con eso estoy satisfecha.... siento no haber podido pasarme a comentar antes porque he tenido roto el pc.. pero ya he vuelto!!!
It's amazing isn't it how something you pick up on a whim can turn into something that you "need" in your life. Mine was knitting, it was something I'd picked up and put down in very short bursts over the years and never really got past the knitting or purling stage...then just over a year ago I picked it up again and have never really put it down since,teaching myself more and more complicated processes from Google and Youtube videos...and now I can't imagine what I did with myself before. Loving the wooden hearts so much...your husband is very talented (as are you!!) :) x
ReplyDeleteOh Kelli and a talented knitter you are too.
DeleteI have also learned a lot online as well. There is so much I want to learn.
I find that it keeps me sane most of the time.
Thanks for stopping by !
Hello there!! Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Frances thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteWe need to thank Alison for connecting us! I am inspired by this, Alma and guess what? I don't knit but I paint and I build furniture and I make art from pallets and I am basically smiling from ear to ear having found you to connect with! I LOVE those scarves and hearts and I absolutely adore that buffet piece being built. Wahoo! New friend!
ReplyDeleteBrittany I would love to see your work of art! I am so incredibly happy to have connected with you.
DeleteSo great to have similar interests and yes Wahoo!
Thanks for the sweet comments and the follow on fb ;)
How cool that your son plays the drums! Too bad it was tough for you to see him. But I bet you heard him!
ReplyDeleteYes Sherry he definitely was heard! I saw that you are a violin teacher. My son also takes cello lessons outside of school and he loves it. Thanks for stopping by and the follow!
DeleteBeautiful cowls and such a talented family! Love your blog! So great to meet you through our shared love for Sarah's self-portrait project. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristi ! So great we can connect.
DeleteLove your blog as well ;)
Hi Alma - how lovely to turn a much loved hobby and your beautiful creations into something a bit more and quite equally satisfying.
ReplyDeleteGood luck - though I'm sure you won't need it.

Thanks Nina ! I am loving your pictures on your site ;)
DeleteNice to see you here, have a great week!
Beautiful! I wish I could knit or crochet. And that heart is wonderful. It takes a true artist to look at a pallet and think "I could turn that into something beautiful and useful".
ReplyDeleteThanks Audrey ! I also think it takes a real artist to cook the way you do ;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by and they lovely compliment!
You create beautiful things which are a testament to your beautiful creative spirit! Keep it coming sister. I need to buy myself a gorgeous scarf soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support and your comment.
DeleteSo happy to have connected with you and your lovely site.
I would love to create something for you... more good things to come!
Hi! So glad to find you via Liz Lamoreux. What a kind, creative spirit I see here. And ohh, your cowls are positively delicious. And that pallet hutch?! WHAT! I can't handle that level of amazing. Anyway, happy day to you!
ReplyDeleteAmanda so nice we can connect. Thanks to Liz I found you and lovely magazine.
DeleteThe latest issue on friendship is one I would lie to read... at 40 I still am learning .
So happy to know you like our creations, we take joy in handcrafting items.
So loving your publication and will be reading ;)
It's actually very difficult in this busy life to listen news on TV, so I just use internet for that purpose, and take the latest information.
