Bloom Into December with the Narcissus

The Meaning Behind December’s Bloom: The Narcissus

December’s birth flower, the Narcissus, is a symbol of hope, renewal, and brighter days ahead. With its elegant, trumpet-shaped bloom, it has long been associated with positivity, charm, and warmth — exactly what we crave during the winter season.

Gifting Narcissus flowers is also thought to bring good fortune and prosperity, making it a thoughtful and meaningful present during the holidays.

Pairing the Narcissus With December’s Crystal

This month, the Narcissus pairs beautifully with Turquoise, December’s crystal of the month.

💙 Known for protection, clarity, and calming energy, Turquoise brings balance and peace to your winter home.
💙 Together with the Narcissus, it symbolizes renewal and emotional clarity — the perfect way to close the year on a meaningful note.

Use this combination in your décor, gift-giving, or personal space to bring soft winter magic and a little extra glow to December.

Why I Chose to Crochet the Narcissus

Each birth flower I create begins with research. I study the anatomy, symbolism, traditional colours, and little quirks that make each bloom special. With the Narcissus, the goal was to recreate that delicate trumpet centre and soft, layered petals — a unique challenge but a joy to bring to life.

Crocheted flowers allow me to blend creativity with storytelling. Every petal is a little piece of heritage, symbolism, and beauty that lasts forever.

New Arrivals, Road Trips & Handmade Magic

This week has been a busy but exciting one at Rockin’ Threads Creations. Between finishing orders, creating new products, and prepping for a rock ’n roll weekender in Ilfracombe, the studio has been buzzing with energy (and yarn… everywhere).

As we make our way down to Devon for a long drive filled with music, coffee, and maybe a little half-asleep grumbling from me as I am not a morning person. I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s new.

Grab yourself a cosy brew and dive in with me.

🌼 A New Lace-Crocheted Iris Is Blooming Soon

I’m thrilled to introduce one of my newest creations: a delicate lace-crocheted Iris that will be available very soon.

The Iris has always been one of my favourite flowers, and when I came across a stunning pattern from TanitkaLace, I knew it had to become part of my collection. After hours of shaping petals, adjusting details, and choosing the right colour combinations, it's almost ready for the storefront.

Each Iris will be available in a variety of colourways, and the one shown in the photo is just a small preview of what's coming.
This piece is elegant, intricate, and perfect for displaying all year round.

💐 A Handmade Wedding Bouquet — Months in the Making

The second new arrival is something incredibly special: a handcrafted crocheted wedding bouquet.

This bouquet was a true labour of love. I’ve spent months perfecting the composition and choosing the right balance of flowers, crocheting each bloom, and ensuring the final piece feels truly timeless. The one pictured is made in classic colours, but the bouquet will be offered as a commission item.

That means you can customise it to match your dream wedding palette.

In the future, more wedding items will join this line—corsages, table decorations, and more, but as with all handmade creations, crafting a full collection takes time. Beautiful things grow slowly.

If you’re interested in a custom bouquet or want matching wedding accessories, you can email me directly at willeke@rockinthreadscreations.co.uk and we’ll create something completely unique to your day.

☕ A Week of Chaos, Creativity & Connection

Road trips, yarn bundles, early mornings, and new creations—this week reminded me why I love what I do. Handmade work takes time, heart, and patience, and I’m grateful every week for the wonderful community supporting Rockin’ Threads Creations.

🎄 Stress-Free Gifting Starts Now: My Cyber Week Sale Is Here!

Is it just me, or did this year fly by faster than a jiver on a Friday night? One minute I was crocheting spring flowers… and the next, I found myself humming Christmas songs while packing orders.

This week, as I sat down with my cosy cup of coffee (fuel for all good crochet work!), I had that familiar moment:
“Wait… Christmas is already around the corner?!”

Every year I swear I’ll be more organised. Every year December sneaks up on me like it owns the place. But not this time — and if you’re feeling the same way, I’ve got good news for both of us!

🎁 This Year, I’m Choosing Stress-Free Gifting

I’m making a promise to myself:
No last-minute panic. No rushing through shops. No wrapping presents the night before.

I’m starting early, choosing thoughtful gifts, and giving myself the chance to actually enjoy December rather than race through it.

And you know what? I thought my lovely readers might appreciate the same gentle nudge.

Because the truth is…
the most meaningful gifts — the ones that feel personal, handmade, heartfelt — deserve a little time.

🌸 Handmade Gifts with Heart

Whether you’re choosing a birth month flower, a beautifully detailed lily, a cosy sunflower, or a custom bloom for someone special, handmade gifts carry a magic that store-bought items simply can’t compete with.

They say:
“I thought of you.”
“You matter to me.”
“You deserve something unique.”

And that’s exactly why I created my crocheted flower collection — timeless blooms made to last, perfect for gifting, displaying, or treasuring.

✨ And Now for the Fun Part…

To make your early gifting even easier, I’m celebrating Cyber Week with something special:

🌼 15% OFF my entire Etsy shop — no code needed!

And if you’re not sure which flower fits best for someone on your list, feel free to send me a message on Etsy. I love helping people find the perfect bloom.

Warm hugs,

The Story Behind Rockin’ Threads Creations

How Rockin’ Threads Creations Began (and a Dash of Cheerful Chaos!)

It started with one hook, one skein of yarn, and one big dream — to create flowers that never fade.
Rockin’ Threads Creations began in the middle of my living room (and, if I’m honest, still occasionally takes over it!). I wanted to bring together my love for creativity, colour, and the feeling of giving something truly meaningful.

But really, the story goes back much further than that…

🧶 Where It Truly Began — Learning From My Nan

My nan taught me how to crochet many, many years ago. ( I know it is a familiar story, but it is the truth) I’ve been crocheting on and off for nearly 40 years now (jeez, I’m getting old… LOL). Those early stitches, made with tiny hooks and lots of patience, shaped the crafter I am today.

Crochet became a comfort, a familiar language of loops and love that always found its way back into my life — even during long breaks.

🌍 A New Country, A New Chapter

When I moved to the UK five years ago, I never imagined crochet would become my business.
A friend saw my amigurumi animals and asked me to make her one — and she wanted to pay for it! I was so surprised, but I made it for her… and then more orders came in. Little animals, dolls, cute characters — all crafted from yarn and joy.

I loved making amigurumi, but deep down I wanted to create something truly unique. Something that connected my past, my passions, and my skills.

🌸 From Hobby to Heartfelt Business

I’ve always had a background in the flower world and a lifelong love for blooms. Combine that with the price of fresh flowers here in the UK (so expensive!), and suddenly an idea was blooming:
Everlasting, crocheted flowers — handmade keepsakes that never wilt.

After a lot of research, experimenting, frogging, failing, trying again… I found my groove.
And today?
I have my own business — Rockin’ Threads Creations.
I crochet what I love and serve people who love my flowers just as much.
I’m still learning, still growing, and still grateful I took the leap into something that truly lights me up.

🎶 Why “Rockin’ Threads”?

The name is a little nod to my love of music — and to my alter ego, Miss Mayhem from Rockin50’s Radio! My show is on every Monday from 8pm till 10pm (UK time). Tune in and let me know, I would love to hear from you.
It captures the fun, retro energy that inspires me every single day.
I’m often crafting, creating, and dancing between stitches. 💃🎶

💖 My Mission

To make handmade flowers that tell a story — one that lasts far beyond the bouquet.
Whether it’s a keepsake gift, home décor treasure, wedding bouquet, or personal reminder, each bloom is crafted with care, meaning, and yes… a touch of cheerful chaos.

🌸 From Yarn to Bloom: How My Crochet Flowers Come to Life

As the air turns crisp and the leaves turn golden, I can really feel the holiday season starting up. Orders are picking up, and my studio is buzzing with colourful yarn and half-finished petals — it’s my favourite kind of busy!

I absolutely love creating crochet flowers for you lovely people — whether it’s a special gift for someone you care about or a way to bring everlasting beauty into your own home.

So, before I dive into another bundle of yarn, grab a warm drink and join me. I’ve got my hot chocolate with a splash of Baileys (yummy!) — the perfect creative fuel for a cozy evening. ☕🍫

🌼 The Secret Behind My Realistic Crochet Flowers

People often ask how I make my flowers look so realistic. The truth? It’s a mix of patience, yarn tangles, research, and a whole lot of love. 💕

Before I ever pick up my hook, I make myself a nice cup of coffee — my little moment of calm before the creativity begins. It’s my fuel, my ritual, and somehow the first step in every flower I create.

Once my coffee is in hand, I start researching crochet patterns and studying real flowers — their shapes, layers, and delicate colour blends. I want every petal to feel alive and true to nature.

A big part of my process is exploring patterns on Etsy from talented crochet designers or looking up helpful tutorials on YouTube for inspiration. When I use a design created by someone else, I always make sure to reach out to the designer and ask if it’s okay to sell the finished flowers in my shop. It’s not something that’s required, but I believe it’s the decent and respectful thing to do — after all, creativity deserves appreciation and acknowledgment. 🌷

🧶 From Pattern to Petal

Sometimes I’ll start with a traditional crochet pattern and tweak it until it captures exactly the look I’m after — adjusting petal shapes, colours, or layers. Other times, I’ll design my own pattern completely from scratch (which usually means a small mountain of test petals before I get it right!).

Once I’ve perfected the pattern, it’s time to bring it to life — petal by petal, stitch by stitch. It’s slow, detailed work, but it’s the part I love most. There’s something truly magical about watching a flower bloom from a simple ball of yarn.

Each one takes time, but that’s what makes it special — every flower has its own little story and touch of personality. And knowing it will bring joy for years to come makes every stitch worth it. 🌸

🌿 The Joy of Handmade

Creating crochet flowers isn’t just about yarn and patterns — it’s about connection. Every time I send one out, I know it’s going to brighten someone’s day, decorate a home, or carry a special meaning. That’s what keeps me inspired.

If you’d like to see a bit more of what goes on behind the stitches, I’ve shared some photos below.

Golden Glow & Gratitude – November’s Chrysanthemum & Topaz

As autumn fills our homes with golden light and cozy moments, November’s birth flower, the Chrysanthemum, and birthstone, the Topaz, remind us to celebrate joy, friendship, and gratitude. 🌼
At Rockin’ Threads Creations, I’ve captured that same warmth in my handmade crocheted chrysanthemums — lasting blooms that make beautiful birth month flower gifts or timeless home décor. This month’s blog dives into the meaning of November’s flower and crystal, shares colour inspiration, and includes a little treat — a 10% off Etsy sale on all crocheted flowers and handmade creations.

🌼 November’s Birth Flower: Chrysanthemum

The Chrysanthemum is the ultimate symbol of happiness and friendship. Its vibrant petals and cheerful energy make it a perfect bloom for November.

In Japan, it’s honoured every year during the Festival of Happiness — a celebration of joy and optimism. 🌸

✨ Bring that same warmth home with my crocheted chrysanthemums, lovingly handmade to bloom forever.

💎 November’s Birthstone: Topaz

The Topaz glows in golden shades and symbolises love, abundance, and good fortune. It’s said to attract positive energy, making it the perfect crystal to pair with November’s flower of joy.

Together, Chrysanthemum and Topaz create a pairing full of gratitude, comfort, and light.

🎨 November Mood Board: Warm Amber & Golden Sparkle

This month’s colours blend amber golds, soft creams, and earthy browns, with a touch of shimmering topaz. It’s a palette that feels cozy, inviting, and just a little bit magical — ideal for home décor and handmade treasures.

🧶 Handmade Flowers That Last Forever

My crocheted birth month flowers, including the vibrant Chrysanthemum, are available in my Etsy shop. Perfect as thoughtful gifts or lasting floral décor — because real beauty should never fade. 🌸

✨ Behind the Scenes: Dahlias, Craft Fair Prep & a Dash of Rock ’n Roll!

Hi lovely readers,

I know I’m a bit late posting this week, but I didn’t want to skip out completely. As we head deeper into autumn and closer to the craft fair and holiday season, things are getting busier than ever here at Rockin’ Threads Creations! Between making new stock, updating my listings, and, of course, crocheting, it’s full steam ahead in my little creative corner.

Lately, I’ve also been working on some new social media content and videos. One of them gives you a peek behind the scenes at how long it really takes to make a crocheted Dahlia flower. Spoiler alert — it’s not a quick job! Each one takes roughly eight hours from start to finish.

Don’t worry though — I’ve sped the video up to just one minute, because I wouldn’t dream of boring you with an eight-hour crochet marathon. 😄 Each petal, each layer, every stitch is made with care and attention to detail, and that’s what makes each piece unique. It’s also why pricing handmade work can be such a challenge — I never want to exclude anyone from enjoying my flowers, but like everyone else, I’ve got bills to pay (and sadly, the lottery hasn’t decided to fund my yarn addiction just yet!).

So, grab yourself a hot brew and settle in — here’s what’s been going on at Rockin’ Threads Creations lately. ☕💐

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes 🌸

As I mentioned before, I’m preparing for the MK Handmade & Vintage Winter Fair, which takes place from Friday the 31st of October until Sunday the 2nd of November.

It’s not just about building up stock — I’ve been putting a lot of thought into how I want my stall to look this year. I’ve ordered new backdrops and have been sketching out ideas for my setup. (I’ll probably rope Alex into helping soon so we can do a little test run at home — fingers crossed it all comes together the way I imagine!)

And of course, it’s also time to spread the word. This is where you can help — tell your friends and family that I’ll be at the MK Handmade & Vintage Winter Fair! If they’re after an everlasting flower or a unique handmade gift, this is the perfect time to find it.

October’s Birth Month Flowers 🌼

October is the month of the Marigold, a flower that symbolises warmth, passion, and creativity. But did you know that October actually has two birth flowers? The second one is the Cosmos, also known as the Tiger Flower or Mexican Aster.

The Cosmos symbolises balance, harmony, peace, and modesty — beautiful traits to reflect on as we move through the season of change. I don’t have a crocheted version of this one yet, but never say never! It might make its debut in the future.

Would you like to see a crocheted Cosmos flower from me one day? I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below!

A Touch of Rock ’n’ Roll 🎸

On the personal side of things — we’re heading out tomorrow to see a Dutch Rock ’n’ Roll band called The Explosion Rockets! They’re doing only two gigs in the UK this year. One of them is tonight in Wales (a bit too far for us), so we’ve got tickets for their Swindon show tomorrow instead.

I’m really looking forward to catching up with my sister and her family, who are the band’s road managers for the weekend. And yes, I’m finally getting the chance to dress up again — vintage dress, petticoat, and all! Though after a few too many “quality control” snack breaks while crocheting, it might be a bit of a squeeze. 😅

What about you? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

That’s all from me for this week. Thank you for following along with all things Rockin’ Threads Creations — I can’t wait to share more behind-the-scenes peeks, new designs, and crafty adventures soon.

Until next time,
Willeke 🌸

Why Handmade Matters More Than Ever – The Heart Behind Every Stitch

Hi lovely,

This week’s post is a little different — it’s educational but still full of hope, heart, and handmade love. 💕

I just want to let you know how things work here at Rockin’ Threads Creations and give you some insights into how it all affects my small handmade business — the time, love, and care that go into every single piece, and why handmade truly matters more than ever. 🌷

As autumn settles in, the world outside bursts into colour, and indoors my crochet hook is flying! I’ve been busy making stock for the upcoming winter fairs and festive season — including my absolute showstopper: a stunning crocheted Christmas tree. This Christmas Tree is only available at the MK Vintage & Craft Fair or as commission order. Get in touch if you are interested. 🎄

💕 The Heart Behind Every Flower

Each crocheted flower I make takes hours — not minutes. Every petal, leaf, and stem is created with care, patience, and love. 🌸

What makes crochet truly special is that it can’t be done by a machine — every single stitch must be made by hand. That means every flower you see from Rockin’ Threads Creations is completely handmade, one loop at a time. 🧶✨

When you buy a crocheted flower from me, you’re not just getting a decoration — you’re getting a piece of art filled with time, warmth, and soul.

🌿 Why Handmade Matters More Than Ever

You might have seen crocheted flowers popping up on sites like Temu for unbelievably low prices. While tempting, these prices often come at a high cost — both to people and to small artists.

🧵 Ethical and labour concerns: Many mass-produced crochet items are made under poor working conditions, sometimes involving unethical labour practices.
🌸 Design theft: Sites like Temu are known for copying designs from small crochet artists without consent or compensation. I use patterns of designers but I always buy the pattern and ask if it is ok to sell the finished product.
💔 Impact on small businesses: Some people even buy these mass-produced flowers and resell them on Etsy or at craft fairs, falsely advertising them as handmade — still at “too good to be true” prices. This hurts genuine makers and confuses buyers.

That’s why buying handmade truly matters. It keeps creativity alive, supports ethical craftsmanship, and ensures that your purchase carries a story — one made by human hands and a caring heart. 💖

🛍️ Shop Small, Support Local

If you love discovering unique handmade creations, visit Love Local Hub MK in Milton Keynes City Centre. It’s home to so many incredible small handmade businesses — including Rockin’ Threads Creations! You’ll find one-of-a-kind pieces made with heart, not haste.

🌼 “Golden Blooms & Rainbow Dreams: October’s Marigold & Opal”

October brings with it the cozy comforts of autumn — crisp mornings, golden leaves, and a touch of handmade magic. And of course, it also brings a new birth month flower and crystal to inspire us this month. Grab yourself a hot brew and let’s dive into October’s treasures: the Marigold and the Opal.

🌼 October’s Birth Flower: The Marigold

Fiery, bold, and full of life, the Marigold is the perfect flower for October. Known as the “herb of the sun,” marigolds symbolise warmth, passion, creativity, and resilience.

Their brilliant shades of orange and yellow perfectly reflect the autumn season. In many cultures, marigolds are believed to bring protection and positive energy — like a little burst of sunshine to carry with you.

✨ And here’s the best part: my crocheted marigolds never wilt, making them a forever keepsake full of color and meaning.

💎 October’s Birthstone: The Opal

October’s crystal is the Opal, one of the most enchanting stones. Known for its shimmering rainbow play of colour, the opal is often called the “stone of inspiration.”

It symbolises hope, love, and transformation, making it the perfect match for October’s marigold. Together, they create a pairing full of warmth, creativity, and light.

🎨 October Mood Board: Golden Glow & Rainbow Sparkle

This month’s palette draws inspiration from the golden glow of marigolds and the iridescent hues of opals. Think warm oranges, soft yellows, deep autumn browns, and flashes of shimmering rainbow — a perfect combination for seasonal décor and handmade creations.

🧶 Handmade Flowers That Last Forever

Looking for a unique gift or a touch of autumn colour for your home? My crocheted marigolds and other birth month flowers are all available in my Etsy shop and in my Web shop . Each piece is handmade with love and designed to last forever — no wilting, no watering, just everlasting beauty.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be attending the MK Handmade & Vintage Autumn Fair at Milton Keynes city centre!

Meet the Beauties: Delphiniums and Blue Bells

Delphiniums: Picture this: tall, majestic spikes adorned with vibrant hues ranging from deep blues to soft lavenders. Delphiniums are the epitome of elegance and grace. With their towering presence, they bring a touch of sophistication to any bouquet or centerpiece. These blooms symbolize positivity, joy, and a sense of lightness – perfect for uplifting any space or occasion. 🌿✨

Blue Bells: Ah, the delicate charm of Blue Bells! These dainty flowers, also known as Hyacinthoides, feature clusters of bell-shaped blossoms hanging delicately from slender stems. With their enchanting blue hue, they evoke feelings of tranquility and serenity. Blue Bells symbolize gratitude and everlasting love, making them an ideal choice for weddings and special celebrations. 💙💐

Arranging with Elegance:

Imagine a stunning centerpiece adorning your dining table or a whimsical bouquet gracing your entryway. Delphiniums and Blue Bells can be combined with complementary flowers like roses, peonies, or dahlias for a truly magical effect. Their varying heights and textures add dimension and depth to any arrangement, whether it's for a wedding, a dinner party, or simply to brighten up your living space. 🌺🌿

Growing and Care Tips:

If you're feeling inspired to cultivate your own garden oasis, Delphiniums and Blue Bells are fantastic additions. Delphiniums thrive in cooler climates and prefer rich, well-draining soil. Ensure they receive plenty of sunlight and regular watering to keep them flourishing. Blue Bells, on the other hand, prefer partial shade and moist, humus-rich soil. Plant them in early fall for a burst of springtime beauty. 🌱🌼
