The maker
Made from the
quiet in between.
It started with a baby,
and a skein of yarn.
After my first baby arrived, I needed something to do with my hands during the long, still hours of early motherhood. I picked up a crochet hook and taught myself from scratch — video by video, stitch by stitch.
What started as a way to stay sane quickly became the thing I looked forward to most. There's something about the rhythm of it — the way each stitch builds on the last — that feels like a quiet kind of meditation.
Cedar Hollow Handmade grew out of that. A way to share the pieces I loved making most, with people who would actually use and treasure them.
Where it comes from
Nature is the pattern.
The forest floor
Mossy greens, deep brown, the layered textures of bark and lichen. Most of my colour palettes start somewhere between the trees.
Still water
Quiet lake mornings, fog on the water, the soft blues and silvers of early light. Some pieces want to feel like that kind of calm.
Foraging walks
Berry tones, earth, the warmth of late-summer fields. I spend a lot of time looking at small things — and that attention finds its way into the work.
How it's made
One intentional
stitch at a time.
Everything I make is made by hand — no machines, no shortcuts. I choose yarns for how they feel, how they hold their shape, and whether they'll actually hold up over years of use and washing.
Most pieces are made to order, which means I make yours specifically for you. That takes a little longer, but it also means nothing sits in a box waiting — it comes to you fresh.
I'm also always making things just because I want to. Those pieces show up in the shop when they're ready.
"I want every piece to feel like it was made with someone specific in mind — because it was."
