Hi there!
I’m Ambra, an Italian girl who likes crafts, ranging from handmaking blankets and sweaters to creating simple cabinets.
In this blog you will find my creations, some tutorial and, if you like, you can share with me ideas, inspirations and tecniques.
Something about me
I live in Italy, near Lecco, with my partner and my two cats. I studied math, but I always loved making things out of yarn, fabric, wood or colours.
My relation with creativity has been rocky, often interrupted by work, overthinking and by a self stonewalling, consisting in a reluctance to start doing what I like.
In the last years I rediscovered the healing power of crafts and I dedicated more time to it.
Knitting, sewing, crocheting, building a cabinet or working in the yard is a way to stop the constant and tiring overthinking process and to give shape to my projects and imagination.
I like to see my creatins coming to life and to be able to wear them, use them or give them to loved ones.
Beside me, the two protagonists of this site are my cats: Miao and Haru
Miao
Miao is a 11 years old cat, with the personality of a tyrant and the elagance of a lady. We call her “Her Majesty”.
Her hobbies are sleeping, “helping” me with my work and biting ankles when her orders are not immediatly executed.
Haru
Haru arrived last spring, he appeared in our garden and after unsaccessfully triyng to find his owners we adopted him. We think he is 4 or 5 yars old.
He loves to roam in the garden, squeezing under the bushes and come home covered in mud and spiderwebs to get cuddles comfortably on the couch.
