Winter Woods Mug

Winter Woods Mug by Abbey & Lincoln

Cozy Up with the Winter Woods Mug

One of my friends, Liz, loves to ski. Which kinda means you have to tolerate winter. She’s a better man than I am because I don’t ski. I don’t have a particular fondness for winter. But I appreciate the beauty of it – from the warmth of my yarn room with space heater. If you love the cozy charm of winter landscapes, then my Winter Woods Mug is the perfect way to bring that enchantment into your daily routine.

A Mug That Captures Winter’s Beauty

Inspired by serene snow-covered forests, this mug features an elegant and artistic woodland scene. The deep teal and soft snowy hues blend beautifully with warm earth tones, creating a design that evokes the wonder of a winter walk through the woods. Delicate falling snowflakes complete the look, making every sip feel like a moment of peace in nature.

Perfect for Cozy Moments

Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace, enjoying a morning cup of coffee, or winding down with herbal tea, this mug adds a special touch to your cozy moments. The contrast of the rich colors with the vibrant red handle and interior gives it a bold, stylish look while keeping it timelessly charming.

The Unicorn Sweatshirt

The Unicorn Sweatshirt is now available!

I used to collect unicorns when I was in my twenties. My nephew’s eldest was also a unicorn lover. Naturally, when I started to design using mythical and magical creatures, a unicorn had to be a part of that.  The unicorn sweatshirt would be great for casual Fridays at work or doing grocery shopping or lazing round the house. 

The shirt comes in lots of sizes from S to 5XL and about 10 colors. The shirt is 50% cotton, 50% polyester.

You can read about the first shirt in the cottage core collection here.

 For those that like to cozy next to majestic creatures with gold horns and the power to heal, then this sweatshirt can bring them one step closer! Buy it now and get it in time for the high holidays and the holy days. 

In other knitting/crochet news, all the squares are done for the blanket and they’ve started to come together. Hooded scarves have taken an early lead on what’s being ordered but there are also some of the cable scarves on the needles. A couple of hats are in my order queue, as well. I could stand to be a little busier…at least busy enough to get my next NINE orders. That would be a milestone in the making.

Africa Inspired Accessories and Decor

 

“I have loved no part of the world like this and I have loved no women as I love you. You’re my human Africa. I love your smell as I love these smells. I love your dark bush as I love the bush here, you change with the light as this place does, so that one all the time is loving something different and yet the same. I want to spill myself out into you as I want to die here.”
Graham Greene – The End of the Affair

I have always been a little obssessed with Africa. Though I have no desire to get on a plane for more than 3 hours at a time – and that’s pushing my limits – I might do it to see Africa.
Until that moment comes, I am making do with creating Africa inspired accessories for body and home. I did a little research on Kente cloth and pulled the colors from there and have kept them in mind as I began work.
The first item that will come out is an afghan. It’s a beautiful geometric with blocks of bold color.  I made one years ago and gave it as a wedding present. I don’t  have a photo of it but this version is new and improved because I am knitting it to be reversible!
The colors I’ve chosen for this one: black, gold, cranberry, olive green, medium blue and deep purple. Each color has a meaning in Kente cloth colors:
Blue: Big spaces
Gold: preciousness
Green: they symbol of life
Red: Sacrifice
Purple: Women
Black: spiritual energy
I am enjoying it immensely. It will take about 6 weeks to make as a custom piece but I believe it to be worth the wait for such a bold piece.

The africa inspired knits will be available at designbcbin the fall of 2018.
