Creative Joy, Small Shops & Love
This is the charming story about Ellie who takes over
her mother's old hat shop. She becomes devoted to her new calling and profession as milliner and get the business to flourish.
The book is as much about love, creative joy, being dedicated to a craft, to love your work as to preserve the grandeur and beauty of the small.
A warm and friendly story that fills me with desire to create and a strong belief in the future for all kinds of crafts
and small personal shops.
This is the Swedish edition.

A Knitted Skirt
Finished, just in time for the arrival of winter!
My nice and warm little skirt!
It's rib-knitted in a medium weight yarn which gives it
a simple and casual style that is easy to dress up.
The yarn is the wonderful warm and soft Lima from Rowan.
A dream in baby alpaca and merino wool!
