Raised in Vancouver, BC, attended university in Montreal, volunteered in Haiti for 18 months, moved to Seattle for love and work, left work for babylove, started down the craftpath when we decided it would be cheaper to make our own wedding invitations (ha!) and haven’t looked back.
Now I spend most of my time trying to figure out how to charm my husband and children into loving the crafts that capture my imagination so we can spend all our time and money using our hands together.
Hi Leah:
Your site is looking great. How are you? We’re having a major snowstorm tonight. Hope everyone is fine. XO
I’m so inspired by your tagline “Create every day.” For me right now, it is, find some time for *me* every day. Sometimes it is just a walk, creating is down the line somewhere! But my creativity is there, percolating, and being fed by your beautiful projects. So someday, I’ll start my own parents group to make candles…or…gardening at each other’s houses…or…baking … or
Hi there,
I’m extremely interested in the Wednesday felting workshops. I’d love to learn more and see if space is available. I know they started 10/3. I’m pretty handy with my hands…if that makes a difference:)
Thanks for this great website.

Dear leah:
It is just lovely the work that you do. Guess what I like to make creative work for my baby, my friends and also some special events. I have always had the desire of having my own store. I hope some day to have it.
Best wishes.

Hi Leah,
I came across your lovely felted soaps while doing the Georgetown art walk this week, and got your card. I’m a soapmaker hobbyist with TONS of extra soap. I don’t know if you make the soap that goes into your felted ones. If you do, never mind–but if you don’t, would you be interested in a trade or something?
Thanks!

HI!!!!!!
My mom just told me about your new business. How exciting for you. I have been sending Christmas cards the past two years that have come back to me. I am so happy to have your info again. Look how beautiful you are and your gorgeous family…wow! I’d love to be in touch.
Love, Jen
Love your website – I’d be interested in bartering with Zia!! Please visit my website http://lambkinwool.googlepages.com/ramblingrosealpacaranch
I also work with felting, wool & alpaca products and sell some felted soaps (felting around a bar of soap). I do much of my felting in the washer and then needle felting, but really want to get better at hand processing my felt, too. I made some cute little purses – you have to try this – I took a whiffle ball – a practice baseball with holes in it – I covered it with white wool, then various colors of wool and stuck it all in a knee high stocking and tied it off tightly so the wool would not shift – then threw it in the washer and let it go through a cycle with my jeans load. Pulled it out after, took it out of the stocking, cut a slit to remove the ball and had a wonderful form for a small purse. I put stiching around the edges with beads and some floof and a cute little floofy yarn braided handle and a bead with a strand of yarn for closure – HOW CUTE! HOW EASY!
Thanks for sharing your ideas – You have my mind going – will have to work on some felting.

I miss knitting with you guys on Tuesday nights.
Hi Leah,
I own an independent shoe store, STRUT, on 75th and Greenwood Ave N. A customer came in wearing one of your beautiful scarves and days later a different customer gave me your contact info. Would love to meet with you to discuss possibly consigning in my store.
Kind regards,
Paula

Hello Leah,
I know there are no coincidences in life so I won’t bore you with how I found you however, I was looking at your crafts and then saw your connection to Haiti. Of course I am Haitian and of course, I’ve been trying to connect with someone that would be willing to share with me opportunities to use my jersey company to send support and love to Haiti.
SO if you are so inclined at all to connect, I would love to have a convversation with you about this. My email address is myriamjoseph1@yahoo.com
Be well!!

Your worms for sale endeavor reminded me of when I was a kit visiting my aunt and uncle in Watertown, New York back in the 40s. My uncle set me up in business on his front lawn selling night crawlers to vacationers. I’d love to have a picture of myself doing that just as you have of your kids. Unfortunately, none was taken.
Would you consider allowing me to use it in my fledgling internet marketing consultancy? I’d like to make the point that in some ways marketing has changed. However, in some ways it stays the same, i.e. building trust.
I don’t have much budget for this sort of thing, but I’d be willing to fund the raw materials for next summer’s lemonade business.

I appreciate your sentiment, and the respect you show by asking for my permission to use this photo. Without a personal relationship to you or your business, I don’t feel comfortable allowing the use of a family photo in this way.
