Today I was able to attend the Faith & Culture conference hosted by @alcuin_institute in Tulsa. I came away so inspired and eager to paint and share the inspiration of faith in art with my kids and the children in our atrium! Loved seeing the work of local photographer @hollie.stokes featured as well. And so, SO many good books! 📚 🎨😇💕✨🕊

Good morning, friends! God Morgen!

Today Norway Week continues here and on my blog as I delve into a Norwegian craft that has captured my imagination in recent months-- Selbu Knitting! Selbu knitwear, especially mittens, have become a cultural icon of Norway. According to tradition, the knitting method and style was created by a Selbu area woman named Merit Emstad, who along with her sisters wore her mitten designs to church one winter in the 1850s and started a neighborhood knitting craze that is now popular all over the world. To learn more about the origins of Selbu knitting and see a list of some of my favorite knitting books to use for Selbu knitting, see today's blog post! Link is in my profile.

“Gratulerer med dagen!”

Picked up this new book at the bookshop at Clear Creek Abbey yesterday. St Hildegard- a 12 century mystic and abbess was such a fascinating woman. Also— there is a recipe for “cookies that bring joy.” 😆 yes, please!
