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.

🌸 Rose Power & Pearl Wisdom – Celebrate June in Style 🌸
June is here, and with it comes a wave of sunshine, celebration, and, of course, gorgeous blooms! At Rockin’ Threads Creations, we're spotlighting June’s most iconic symbols—the Rose and the Pearl—to inspire your home, gifting, and personal touches this month.
🌹 The Meaning of the Rose
The rose, June’s birth flower, is a universal symbol of love, passion, and beauty. Each color tells its own story—red for romance, white for purity, pink for admiration, and yellow for friendship. My crocheted roses are a timeless way to express those feelings while staying sustainable and forever in bloom.
💎 The Power of Pearl
Pearl is June’s birthstone and a crystal known for its purity, wisdom, and calm. It pairs beautifully with soft textures and neutral tones—just like my crocheted blooms. Add a peaceful energy to your space or create a meaningful gift bundle with my rose and pearl-inspired pieces.
🌞 What’s Happening in June
Wedding Season: Roses are a favorite for brides and event planners alike. They're perfect for lasting wedding decor or memorable bridesmaid gifts.
Gemini & Cancer Season: Celebrate your June-born friends and family with a flower that speaks from the heart.
Seasonal Styling Tip: Combine light woods, soft pastels, and crochet flowers for a dreamy summer vibe.
