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.

🎄 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!
Every single crocheted flower, bouquet, and bloom is included.
Just add to cart and enjoy the savings.
Perfect for:
