Boxing Day the Cosy Way: Online Bargains, Crochet & a Little Country Music
Christmas has officially passed, and I hope yours was full of warmth, good food, and lovely moments 🎄
Mine was a wonderfully relaxed one. We had a friend and Alex’s mum over, I cooked a nice meal, and the day was filled with chatting, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. No rushing, no stress – just how I like it.
And now… Boxing Day.
Here in the UK, Boxing Day is famously linked with getting up at an ungodly hour to queue outside shops in the cold, all in the name of a bargain. At least, that’s what I’ve been told 😅
I’ll be honest – it’s not for me. I’m far happier staying warm, avoiding the crowds, and doing my bargain shopping online.
If you’re the same, you’ll be pleased to know that you can shop Rockin’ Threads Creations the cosy way too. My Etsy shop is open, and there’s 15% off all items, making it the perfect time to treat yourself to some handcrafted crochet or pick up a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Later today, I’ll be swapping crochet hooks for headphones as I head over to Rockin50’s Radio. From 3pm (UK time), I’ll be hosting my Country Special, bringing you a feel-good mix of country tunes. If you fancy listening along, come and join me – I’ll be on air as Miss Mayhem 🎶🤠
For the rest of the day, I’ll be finishing off the final orders of the year, getting everything wrapped up and ready before we step into a brand new one. It feels good to end the year doing what I love most: creating and sending handmade pieces out into the world.
That’s all for today. Thank you so much for being part of the Rockin’ Threads Creations journey this year. I’ll be back next week with a year round-up, but for now, enjoy your Boxing Day, shop cosy, and have a wonderful weekend.
Warm wishes,
Willeke

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.
