Some stills and detail shots of my latest completed macrame wall hanging.

It’s a super textural, 3D piece and the perfect size to fill those awkward spots on a wall (I tested it in the gap between two doors on the landing and it looked GREAT).

Available to purchase on my website, or Etsy.

Hi, I’m Bex and this is Crowley.

Crowley is for sale. Bex is not.

I will be listing this Crowley wall hanging online with further pictures soon, but if you are interested in purchasing before then, please send a DM for more info.

Crowley will cost £110.

I did not set out to make a Crowley-coded wall hanging, but as soon as it was finished, I stepped back and was like “oh…”.

I suppose it was ineffable 😇

Anyway.

Listen. Hear that?

What have you read this month?

If I'm honest, most of my reading for the past year has been Good Omens fan fiction, but there have been some regular books scattered throughout. Such as the Good Omens novel.

I am currently reading a book called The Kiss Curse by Erin Sterling, about a small town in Georgia run by witches. It's a super fun read.

If you need a new bookmark for your latest read, how about making one yourself with the Terracotta & Twine macrame bookmark kit? It comes with the patterns and materials to make the two bookmarks pictured above.

What have you been reading? Any recommendations?

Looking for somewhere to put your mug? Make a macrame coaster!

Terracotta & Twine's beginner coaster kit will teach you how to make this lovely square coaster, and provides enough materials to make two of them.

If you don't need more coasters (does anyone else seem to have a collection?), they also make great candle mats to protect your surfaces from heat.

This is a lovely beginner patter, with just two knots to learn and perfect.

Happy New Year! ⁠

Did everyone have a lovely break? I spent half of it with a nightmare of a cold, but thanks to the new pj's and dressing gown I got for Christmas, I was lovely and cosy.⁠

Just before the break, I dropped off a new batch of macrame DIY kits at .crafthouse in Saltaire. Pop in and have a nosy, they've got loads of lovely stuff to get you crafting in the New Year!⁠

How are we all enjoying the wooly jumper weather again? Personally, I'm a proper summer lover - I'm like 70% happier when the sun is shining. If only we had bright sunshine but cool temperatures all year round! ⁠

Here I'm holding the Haxby-Briggs macrame plant hanger. This plant hanger is perfect is you're looking for a short plant hanger - perhaps you need to hang it over a sofa or bed and don't want to be bashing your head on it. ⁠

If you fancy making your own macrame coaster - you can! The Forster Square coaster DIY Kit contains everything you need. ⁠

These coasters are large enough to fit a Sports Direct mug, so I'm certain they're perfect for your favourite mug. ⁠

This DIY kit is perfect for beginners and is the perfect craft project for an autumn afternoon. ⁠

Cosy up your coffee table with a macrame coaster or two! ⁠

These coasters are large enough to fit a Sports Direct mug, so I'm certain that unless you literally drink from a bucket, they'll fit your favourite mug on them. ⁠

If you spill, just chuck them in the washing machine!⁠

I just love the geometry in this wall hanging. It's so structured and yet soft at the same time. If green's not your thing, this macrame wall hanging is available in 33 different colours. ⁠

Making this wall hanging was such a lesson for me. I learned that to create a wall hanging with this much structure, you have to be really really precise and a measuring tape and spirit level are your best friends. I don't think people imagine macrame makers to be standing there with a spirit level, but for this it was necessary! ⁠

This beautiful, intricate macrame plant hanger is one of my favourites - especially in this pearl grey colour. I just think it looks so sophisticated and a little bit moody. I love it. ⁠

One day I will nail the whole "posing with my creations" thing, but this was not that day. ⁠

For this picture, I tried casually leaning against the clothes rail. I tried sitting on the floor. I tried pretending I was fixing something on one of them. Then I went for a bit 'ta-dahhhh' motion and somehow this one was actually the best. ⁠

Despite the sheer awkwardness of this photo, look how pretty my wall hangings look! ⁠

Chunky keyring! ⁠

Incase you were wondering how big these keyrings are, here's one in comparison to my hand. Incase you were wondering how big my hand it, here it is in comparison to a keyring. ⁠

I use one of these keyrings on the zip on my backpack. It works perfectly for easy opening and looks great too. ⁠

Patterns and kits and ready made - oh my! ⁠

This wall hanging is part of my beginner series which is four macrame wall hangings which start with the very basics of macrame and then get increasingly harder. This series was created for beginners to build and improve their macrame skills and get an awesome wall hanging out of it at each step. ⁠

Each wall hanging in the series is available as a pattern, DIY kit or if you just like the look of them - ready made. ⁠

Each of these macrame plant hangers have a super cute butterfly design and they look lovely either by themselves or hanging together. ⁠

Me and Charlie are big fans of the Addingham wall hanging.

This wall hanging is a modern take on macrame - it's super structured and geometric and would look great on the walls of your house.

Available in 33 different colours at terracottaandtwine.com

Details.

The Addingham wall hanging has rows of X's all the way down. This wall hanging was fairly tricky to make but I absolutely love it.

It's available in 33 different colours on the Terracotta & Twine website - which would you choose?

What colour would you buy this wall hanging in? Personally I love this green shade, but I think it'd look super dramatic in black as well. ⁠

The most popular DIY kit!

If you're a beginner, this Keighley wall hanging is the perfect foray into creating layered wall hangings. Available as a ready made product, a DIY kit or a pattern, it's the fourth in my series of beginner wall hangings - if you want to start from the beginning, the Oakworth wall hanging is the easiest.
