Hello, my name is Emma Lamb and I work from my home studio in the centre of the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Although I grew up on the North East coast of England, where the stony beaches hold a special fondness for me, Edinburgh is my home, it is such an inspirational city with a vibrant creative community. My favourite thing to do it to take long walks with my dog Spanner, a floppy-eared English Cocker Spaniel, around the historic streets and wonderful green spaces. Calton Hill has become one of our regular haunts lately, from there you can see the whole city. It has an exceptional view of Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags, Princes Street to the Castle with the best possible view of the Old Town architecture lining the Royal Mile, then on the opposite side an incredible panoramic view out over the Firth of Forth to Fife and beyond. It’s such a great place for people watching too as there are always crowds of tourists admiring the sights!

The best thing about my city is the location! In the highlands of Scotland with Loch ness and some of the most beautiful scenery right on our doorstep. Just a drive away from the island of Skye.....endless mountains and lochs......stunning. Culloden battlefield visitor centre........fabulous place to visit. Also a visit to the flora hall with all sorts of amazing plants and flowers! Stunning! The gateway to the highlands and a fabulous base to explore the rest of the highlands from!

Come behind the scenes at Houseologie for a #CraftRoomTour and see Leigh Anne's craft room in West Virginia.
My favorite thing about this space is that it's ALL MINE! With a husband and three kids in a moderately sized home, individual space is hard to come by. This craft space is actually on one side of our laundry room that wasn't really being used for anything. A close 2nd favorite thing about this room is the pegboard organization! It's so helpful to be able to see a lot of my supplies in an organized and stylish way.
