Hello my sweet friends! How are you? Did you have a sweet weekend? Truly hope so! For me this is a big day… it’s my first day at my new job! Yayyyy!!! Wish me good luck!!! But this post is not about me! Last week, I started these new columns {sneak-peeks} as a way of sharing with you some beautiful and interesting blogs, handmade things and photography by some talented people I got to know around here… boy, there is so much talent, somethimes I’m truly, truly amazed by all these beautiful things that my eyes get to see.
So… this time the main subject to get a sneak-peek is all the things that get deliciously handmade by some very talented hands, and planned by some very creative minds! Today… my sneak-peek goes to the dearest Emma Lamb!

As you know, this is not an interview… so I will just share with you what this young lady is up to for a long time! The middle name of Emma Lamb is… Crochet (so to speak!).

Her bio wherever you find her is always very complete and here are a few words:
“Hello! My name is Emma Lamb, I am an avid crocheter, knitter and embroiderer currently living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The pieces I create evolve from my love of the ‘granny chic’ movement. Which for me represents quality hand crafted and vintage pieces teamed with bold but beautiful colour combinations. It is also about mixing old and new ideas, techniques, patterns, colours and textures to create something that is both fresh and modern, yet traditional at the same time.
Using primarily traditional crochet techniques I am aiming to create beautiful homeware pieces that anyone would love to live with and use in their daily life. Currently my range consists of vintage and retro inspired crochet granny cushions, floor throws, potholders, forever flower garlands, cleaning cloths, pincushions and gift cards.”

In fact, Emma has quite a taste for vintage things… or else we couldn’t find this in her home…

And you can also find her on The Artisans Collective and Ravelry (but you need to register first!). And the last but not the least, just one more detail about Emma… it’s not handmade, but sure belongs to Emma’s heart as well… I introduce you to Spanner!

“I love crochet, embroidery, knitting, drinking peppermint tea, eating dark chocolate, sipping a good glass of wine, walking on the beach in the summer, my man and my wee cocker spaniel aptly named Spanner… :)”
And this is it, my friends! I hope you liked Emma’s work and getting to know where you can find her! Why not buying something handmade for your home? Or a special gift? I would love to get some of these for sure! And don’t forget… we’re still in July, but Christmas is just around the corner!
Take care!
