I had the absolute joy of working on something a little different this week… festive outfits for a tortoise! 🐢🎄

A lovely lady in a Facebook group asked if anyone could make a Christmas tree or Santa-style cover for her tortoise, and I couldn’t resist. I ended up creating a Santa hat and a dinosaur shell cover, and honestly, I was far too excited about the whole thing!

When she came to collect them, she told me they were even better than she expected, and then she sent over these adorable photos. I mean… look at him!

Projects like this remind me why I love what I do: a bit of creativity, a bit of joy, and something handmade that makes someone’s day 💚

Stitch of the Week 💚 Crochet Christmas Angel 🎄

This week’s Stitch of the Week is a Crochet Christmas Angel, a calm, mindful project that’s perfect for confident beginners and festive makers alike.

This angel works up quickly using simple repeats, gentle shaping, and taller stitches, ideal if you want something soothing and achievable without rushing. It’s a lovely make for the tree, as a gift tag, or strung together into a festive garland.

🎄🧶 A little Christmas cheer has landed 🧶🎄

This little chap, Gnorman, is now sitting proudly on our local postbox, spreading a bit of joy for anyone passing by.

He went out after dark so I didn’t get many good photos, if you spot him during the day and manage to catch him in the light, feel free to share a photo with me, it would make my day 💚

Projects like this are exactly why I love crochet, slowing down, creating something joyful, and sharing a bit of calm (and fun!) with the community.

Keep an eye out if you’re nearby…

🧶 Weekly Crochet Sessions — Drop-In Availability 💚

Most of my classes are fully booked with lovely regulars, but every so often, spaces become available when someone can’t make it (due to holidays, appointments, or life’s unexpected events).

Rather than leaving those chairs empty, I’d love to offer them as ad-hoc sessions. Perfect if:
✔️ You’d like to try a class before committing to a regular spot
✔️ You can’t commit every week, but would love to join now and again
✔️ You fancy a mindful couple of hours of crochet 💚

📅 This week’s sessions & availability is opposite

If you’d like to grab one of these ad-hoc places, pop me a message. They’re first-come, first-served — once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Come along, pick up your hook, and enjoy some calming crochet time
🧶

I’m just home from a really lovely Christmas Artisan Market and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along, stopped for a chat, browsed, shared kind words, or supported my little crochet business 💚

Days like today genuinely mean so much. Every purchase, recommendation and conversation helps keep what I do going — and I never take that for granted.

I still have some ready-made cosy crochet pieces available, and later this week I’ll be photographing and listing them properly. If you’re looking for:
🧶 cosy accessories for Christmas gifts
📖 beaded bookmarks that make perfect stocking fillers

just drop me a message — I’m happy to help 💚

Thank you again for supporting handmade and small businesses.

He’s here until 3 at West Bradford Village Hall 💚

The weather may be a little wintry tomorrow, but the Artisan Market is indoors, warm and welcoming 💚

I’ll be there with my handmade crochet pieces and cosy gift ideas, alongside a lovely selection of local artisan traders.
Refreshments are served all day, and Santa will be visiting from 1–3pm 🎅

Pop in, warm up, and enjoy a relaxed browse, it’s a really nice way to spend a few hours locally.
