Hello 2026: January Birth Flower, Handmade Bouquets & What’s Coming at Rockin’ Threads
A brand-new year is here, and I want to start by wishing you a very Happy New Year. I hope 2026 will be everything you wished for, and maybe even a little more.
Here at Rockin’ Threads Creations, the year started in a calm and cosy way. New Year’s Eve was a relaxed one, with me hosting a radio show while Alex enjoyed his regular New Year’s Day show. And while he’s busy on air, I’m tucked away with a hot coffee, writing this blog and easing gently into the first week of the year.
January always feels like a month for slower mornings, warm drinks, and quiet creativity, and that’s exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.
Wedding bouquets in the making 💐
I’ve recently finished a wedding bouquet featuring soft pink roses and delicate baby’s breath. Right now, I’m working on a new variation using rich red roses. It’s almost finished, and once it is, I’ll be photographing it and creating listings for both my website and Etsy shop. These bouquets take time, but each one is carefully crafted to be treasured forever.
January Birth Month Flower: The Carnation 🌸
A new month means a new birth flower, and January belongs to the Carnation. This beautiful bloom symbolizes love, fascination, and devotion, making it a meaningful flower for gifting or displaying in your home.
Paired with January’s flower is the Garnet crystal, known for its grounding energy, protection, and strength. It’s a powerful crystal to begin the year with, encouraging confidence and passion as we move forward into 2026.
My crocheted January carnations are available in both my web shop and Etsy shop, perfect if you love flowers that never fade.
What would you love to read about this year?
Now that I’ve covered all the birth month flowers and crystals in my monthly blogs, I’m working on new ideas for 2026. This month is going to be all about the flower of the year 2026. Maybe there’s a flower you adore and would love to learn more about? Or perhaps topics around handmade living, home décor, or meaningful gifting?
I’d love your input, feel free to reach out and let me know what you’d enjoy seeing on the blog this year. You can comment underneath the blog or send me an email on willeke@rockinthreadscreations.co.uk
A little Valentine’s sneak peek ❤️
Although it may feel early, Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it. Alongside classic roses, I’ll soon be sharing alternative Valentine’s gifts, like birth month flowers or crocheted hearts, with or without stems. With stem you can add them to your valentines bouquet.
Keep an eye on the blog, newsletter, and social media, as there may be a Valentine’s Sale coming soon.
As I step into this new year of Rockin’ Threads Creations, my focus is on creating with intention, refining favourite designs, and staying connected with this wonderful community. Thank you, as always, for your support, it truly means the world.
Here’s to a creative, cosy, and flower-filled 2026.
Catch you all soon!
