So, if you’ve had your eye on something special, now’s the perfect time to order to make sure your flowers arrive in time for the big day! 🌸🎁

A Little Studio Update

Last weekend, I attended the MK Handmade & Vintage Fair, and while it was lovely to meet so many wonderful people and chat about my flowers, it didn’t quite go as I’d hoped. After attending several fairs this year (and many cups of coffee while reflecting), I’ve decided to step back from craft fairs for a while.

I truly love the connection and conversations that come from meeting you all in person — that part I’ll really miss! But the cost of attending and slower sales have made me realise it’s time to focus my energy where it matters most: on my Etsy shop, website, and Love Local Hub MK. These spaces allow me to share my creations with you all over the world — and keep that same personal touch, just without the chilly halls and long setup days! 😉

The Meaning Behind November’s Flower — The Chrysanthemum

The Chrysanthemum has long been a symbol of joy, friendship, and resilience — qualities that feel especially meaningful as we approach the end of the year. In Japan, it’s even called the “flower of happiness,” reminding us to find light and warmth, even on the shortest days. 🌞

Paired with Topaz, November’s birthstone crystal, this duo radiates positive energy and calm strength — perfect for keeping your spirits high and your heart glowing as winter settles in.

In the Studio

My studio has been bursting with autumn tones lately — shades of red, rust, and creamy white — as I’ve been crocheting new chrysanthemums. Each bloom captures that cozy November feeling: soft blankets, flickering candles, and the last burst of colour before winter arrives.

If you or someone you love celebrates a November birthday, a crocheted chrysanthemum makes the perfect lasting gift — a flower that never fades, symbolising happiness and love. 🌼

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.
