β™‘ String of Hearts β™‘

I LOVE plants and flowers BUT I struggle to keep them alive. I have spent a small fortune trying to prove to myself (and my husband) I can keep the next one alive. It is so frustrating, I just can't seem to find the balance between over/under loving them 😬

If you are like me, I have found the answer!

Crochet plants are not only a more eco-friendly option, but they are more life like than the shiny plastic versions you see in shops. No watering or sunlight needed and no looking at an unhappy plant!

These aren't yet available on Etsy but will be available at my stockists this week:

β˜† Newbies β˜†

Because I'm obsessed with flowers and floral arrangements at the moment, I am literally looking at all possibilities to incorporate them in my products 🌸

What do you think of these new headbands? ⬇️

What colour combo would you go for?

I am loving the neutral colour combos for the flowers with a pop of green foilage, they look so elegant 🀍🀎

What colour combo should I do next? ⬇️

β˜† NEWBIES β˜†

I literally can not stop making flowers, I am seriously addicted 🀍

I love flowers, but I sometimes begrudge paying out for them when I know they are just going to die πŸ™„ These flowers are the perfect solution... 0% maintenance, 100% everlasting beauty!

I am playing around with small bouquets and flower pots to start with, and hopefully, I will have them available at my May events.

Thinking of cute bag designs and colour combos are getting me through rainy days which feel like they have been non stop since 2023 πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

β™‘ Your Favourite β™‘

You guys choose this green and beige hanger as your favourite colour combo in a recent poll, and I can see why!

I have even kept one for me, and I now have the perfect excuse to buy a new plant πŸͺ΄

These hangers are now available at

What colour combo do you wanna see next?

β˜†β˜† NEW β˜†β˜†

It's been a while since I designed a new plant hanger, and I'm glad it took me so long as this one is a beaut!

I love my chunky spiral knot hangers, and I will definitely continue to stock them, but I fancied adding some variety.

These beauts are made with two tones, using recycled cotton ♻️

Available and Etsy this weekend πŸ™Œ

β˜† β—‡ β€’ Newbies β€’ β—‡ β˜†

I'm determined to get these to stockist this weekend, but first, I have to make backing cards 😬

Me and computers aren't friends, and I struggle with this side of the business. It will probably take me longer to sort the backing cards than making a million of these clips.

Wish me luck! πŸ€

β™‘ Back to basics β™‘

After spending a couple of weeks being creative with crochet and making small macrame bits in between, I needed a good knotting session!

I had to go big because I had the perfect piece of diftwood sanded, bathed, and sealed, ready to accessorise.

I love the result, especially with the mixture of airplants 🀍

21/01/2024

β™‘ Coming Soon β™‘

I've been working on some new hair clips, and I am obsessed!

Perfect all year round, right?

Coming next weekend to and .buttonsbows

β™‘ Restocked β™‘

I am really pleased to be back with this year.

Every time I walk into the store, I have a pinch me moment! My work is sat among such amazing businesses and talented people. It is just incredible.

Now Christmas has passed, there may not be many reasons to buy things at the moment. So if you have a reason to buy a present, treat yourself or are making your home more pretty, then please check out the store, you won't be disappointed.

β™‘ Coming Soon β™‘

It's been a while since I've posted, but I am still here behind the scenes designing and creating.

I've been working hard bringing my backpack design idea to life! I have knotted for hooooours, dreamt about the process, had to unpick the entire thing, and wait for supplies. I am pretty over the moon with the results, even though I started this week's ago.I've even made the adjustable bag straps, super proud πŸ‘Œ

Let me know what you think!

It's a somewhat controversial question... people usually answer this really passionately either way.

1) The ones who are absolutely alarmed by anyone who would consider doing it early.

2) The excited ones who put them up dead early.

The question is, have you got your Christmas decorations up yet?

Mine are going up over the weekend. Otherwise, I won't have a chance until mid-December, and I want to fall into the second category and be early!

What a weekend!

Thank you for another lovely Christmas market. I love starting the Christmas festivities with you πŸŽ„

Thank you to everyone who popped by to say hello, have a chat or buy something. I was blown away by your lovely comments, I always get a boost in confidence from you all.

I have a break from markets this weekend, and then I will be at The Shire Hall in Dorchester the following weekend. So until then, I will be stocking up, completing online orders, and finishing custom orders.

Have a fab week 😊

β˜† First Christmas Reveal β˜†

You may notice that these aren't macrame but crochet mini wreaths.

I learnt to crochet this year, so it just felt right to have a mixture of crochet and macrame ornaments this year. Plus, crochet totally fits the boho vibe I love.

These are now available to buy from my Etsy shop, link in bio πŸŽ„

β™‘ Pastels β™‘

It's not my usual colour pallet, but I could resist the gemstone that goes perfectly with these cords.

What is my favourite question I get asked at markets?

Whether I make everything displayed! People's responses are always so kind and complimentary. Everyone always seems surprised by the handmade quality, the patience it must take, and the selction I have 🀎

Thank you 😊

Always a great event organised by who are ace at choosing a selection of small businesses for customers to browse and shop from.

If you have been wonderful and purchased something from me, would you kindly leave me a Facebook review?
