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

Merry Christmas from Rockin’ Threads Creations 🎄
I hope you are well and fully wrapped up in the magic of the season (and possibly in tinsel, fairy lights, or yarn—no judgement here 😉).
I just wanted to pop in with a little Christmas hello to wish you a very Merry Christmas from Rockin’ Threads Creations. What a year it’s been! A year filled with stitches, blooms, creativity, and most importantly… you.
Every order, message, share, and kind word has meant more to me than I can put into words. Knowing my crocheted flowers have found their way into your homes, been gifted to loved ones, and become part of special moments honestly makes my heart do a little happy dance.
I hope the next few days are all about slowing down, cosying up, and spending quality time with the people who matter most. I’ll be doing exactly that—putting the crochet hook down (briefly!) and soaking up some festive family time.
Before I disappear behind the Christmas tree and a pile of wrapping paper, here’s a little festive reminder 🎁
✨ My End of Year Sale is still on in my Etsy shop ✨
Enjoy 15% off everything, just in case a flower or two has been sitting on your wish list.
Thank you for being part of the Rockin’ Threads Creations journey this year. I cannot wait to share even more flowers, colour, and creativity with you in the year ahead.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with warmth, laughter, and just the right amount of sparkle ✨

Christmas Catch-Ups, Busy Hooks & Adding Colour to Your Home After Christmas
Earlier this month, I told myself — and you — that I was going to be on time with my Christmas shopping this year.
Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen 😅
Here I am, still hunting for last-minute gifts and doing the food shop, fully accepting that this might just be who I am. And honestly? I’m okay with that.
Busy Hooks & New Creations
Last week I didn’t manage to send out a newsletter because I’ve been incredibly busy with orders — and I still am. Thank you so much for supporting my small business and keeping my crochet hooks moving. It truly means more than you know.
Earlier this month I also shared that I’d been working on two new products: a crocheted wedding bouquet and an Iris flower. They’re both finished, but they’ll officially be released early next year once all the behind-the-scenes work is done — photos, listings, descriptions, and all the other bits that come with launching something new.
A Little Life Update
Outside of crochet, life has been fairly calm. We went away for a Rock ’n Roll weekender earlier this month, which was a lovely break before diving straight back into a busy order season.
In between orders, I’ve been decorating the house for Christmas — and I must say, it’s looking rather cosy.
We’ve also gained a part-time feline visitor. He’s been popping in, eating the food, and making himself at home. After a bit of detective work, I found out he does have an owner, but he’s welcome to hang out here. My other two cats aren’t convinced yet, but time will tell!
Adding Colour After Christmas
Once Christmas is over and the tree and decorations come down, the house can suddenly feel a little bare. January has a way of doing that — quieter rooms, fewer lights, and not quite as much colour around.
That’s exactly why flowers can make such a difference.
Crocheted flowers are a simple way to keep warmth and colour in your home without any upkeep. Whether it’s a sunflower to lift your mood, a lily for a calm and elegant corner, or a meaningful birth month flower, they’re designed to bring joy long after the festive season ends.
🌸 Ready to Add a Little Colour?
When the decorations come down and the house feels a bit empty, a crocheted flower is a lovely way to keep things cheerful — without needing any care at all.
✨ I’m currently running an End of Year Sale with 15% off all crocheted flowers in my Etsy shop.
Sunflowers, lilies, and birth month flowers are all included and ready to brighten your space.
