Thank you so much for all the lovely comments on yesterday's photo post. I had so much fun setting it up so it was lovely to see your feedback. Today's Knitting & Crochet Blog Week brief is to write about your crafty hero. I find inspiration in so very many different places including Pinterest, various books/magazines and many many blogs (a few of which are listed here). There are so many people I could choose but I'm going to introduce you someone whose knitting is beautiful but whose photography and blog also really inspire me - Alicia Paulson.
I first came across Alicia's blog "Posie Gets Cozy" more than a year ago and it was her beautiful home and photography that initially captured my imagination.

Posie Gets Cozy includes lots of different crafts, as Alicia is talented in various disciplines including knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, cooking... and her photography is absolutely breathtaking. It's not only about the beautiful things though, and the blog has chronicled various ups and downs over the time I have been following - a few posts have literally left me sobbing into a tissue, yet still so much beauty comes through the screen and the generous way in which Alicia and Andy allow us into their lives makes this blog feel quite intimate despite the large following.
If you haven't visited Alicia's blog, shop and patterns, I would highly recommend a visit. But grab yourself a drink and make yourself comfy first, because you may want to stay a while.
I'll be back later with my regular Wednesday reading and WIP updates.
