October is looking like another busy one! 🧶

If you fancy seeing gifts by Granny in the wild - here’s where you’ll find me this month!

I’ll be popping up at markets in Burnham-on-Sea, Bleadon, Weston-super-Mare and Sandford, with lots of my handmade goodies coming along with me.

There’s nothing I love more than meeting you lovely lot in person, having a natter and helping you find just the right thing – so if you’re nearby, please do come and say hello! 👋

📍 Save this post so you know where to find me throughout October.

And of course, if you can’t make it to a market, you can now have a nosy around my new website from the comfort of your sofa too! 💛

🎉 A new home for gifts by Granny! 🎉

Wishing Mollie's Makers in Taunton/Ed Martin huge success as they open their doors today! 🥰

And a very big thank you to Sam from Sam’s Fudge-Somerset for so kindly popping a few finishing touches onto my shelf while I’m still away. 💕

I can’t wait to visit properly when I’m home!

Hello, Taunton! 👋🧶💕

Apparently it’s beginning to look a little like Christmas… even in Spain! 🎄☀️😂

We’ve had lovely visitors staying with us this week, so there’s been plenty of swimming, walking, card games, paella and, naturally, the occasional sangria. 🍷

But somehow, in amongst all that, Granny decided it was time to start thinking about Christmas. 🧶

So meet my latest holiday make… a rather festive little Highland coo, complete with Santa hat and scarf. 🐮🎅🏼

He’s been created a few stitches at a time around everything else we’ve been doing, usually with my little fan working overtime beside me! ☀️

I’m hoping a few more festive friends might appear while we’re here, ready to travel home with us and make their way onto my shelves when I’m back in Somerset.

Because apparently Granny can go on holiday… but the yarn comes too. 😂🧶 (Hoooked recycled of course)

🩷 From Granny’s hands to the streets of Paris… 🇫🇷

A little making during our Paris stopover turned into a birthday present, and before I knew it my latest handmade bag was getting its first outing beside the Canal Saint-Martin!

Made by hand using recycled fibres, then very kindly modelled for me in Paris (my sincere thanks). Not a bad adventure for a ball of yarn. 😉🧶

And now Granny has travelled a little further south… 🇪🇸☀️

September looks a little different for gifts by Granny… 🇪🇸☀️

There are no markets for me this month because Granny is officially on tour! 😂

We left Somerset towards the end of August, with a few lovely days in Paris before heading south to Spain. And although I’ve swapped my studio and market stalls for life on the road for a few weeks, the making certainly hasn’t stopped.

There have already been projects made in Paris, designs dreamt up somewhere between France and Spain, and inevitably rather a lot of yarn travelling with us. 🧶

So throughout September I’ll be sharing some of what I’ve been making along the way, as well as new ideas and projects from here in Spain.

First up, I have a little Paris story to share… 🇫🇷👜❤️ (so keep tuning in) 🙏

Then I’ll be back to my Somerset markets in October.

Buying for a new baby can be surprisingly difficult, can't it?!

You want to give something that's thoughtful - but also something new parents will genuinely use.

That's why I love making these little baskets!

They're perfect for nappies, wipes, lotions, tiny socks...all those little bits that somehow never seem to stay in one place for very long!

And once baby has grown, they don't get packed away.

They grow up alongside the family. They become storage for toys, books, hair accessories, colouring pencils...whatever life throws at them next.

I believe the best gifts aren't just opened - they're used, loved and enjoyed for years to come.

If you're looking for a baby gift that's both beautiful and practical, I'd love you to take a look at my Little People Collection.

One of my favourite things about going away is soaking in all the inspiration that surrounds me, wherever I am.

Whether it's the colours of the sea, a pretty doorway, a flower growing by the roadside or a beautiful sunset, I'm always spotting ideas that make me think, "Ooh... that would make something lovely!"

This handmade bag was inspired by the beautiful Mediterranean blues, from the sea right through to the evening sky.

I never seem to travel without my crochet hook either. It somehow always finds its way into my suitcase! You never know when inspiration might strike.

Wherever I go, I always seem to bring a little piece of that place back to my Somerset studio...just in a slightly different form.😊

Apparently birthday celebrations don’t stop Granny going to market! 😂🎂🧶

We’re right in the middle of Mr K’s birthday celebrations, but I’m squeezing in one last market before we head off on our travels again!

I’m at Bleadon Village Market today, 9.30am–12pm, surrounded as always by some brilliant local makers and lots of lovely friendly faces. Do pop in and say hello if you’re nearby. 💕

Then it’s back to the birthday celebrations and, very soon, packing for our travels… when the important negotiations begin over exactly how much yarn Mr K will allow into the gaps in his precision-packed car. 😂🧶🚗

Don’t worry, I’ll be keeping in touch with projects, makes and a few tips from the road!

See you at Bleadon! ❤️

I thought it was time for a reintroduction for all my new followers!👋🏻

I'm Sharon, otherwise known as the Granny behind gifts by Granny!

I've been crafting for as long as I can remember. My great-grandmother taught me when I was just seven, and these days you'll usually find me with yarn somewhere nearby...whether that's at home, in the caravan, on holiday or even getting my hair done!

I'm also Granny to twelve wonderful grandchildren, which probably explains why I love creating thoughtful, practical gifts that become part of everyday life, rather than being tucked away in a cupboard!

You'll find beautiful handmade storage, thoughtful gifts for growing families, handmade homes for favourite plants and plenty of behind-the-scenes glimpses of life as the Granny behind the brand.

When I'm not making, you'll usually find me tending to my plants, exploring somewhere new with my husband Paul or dreaming up my next project.

Everything I create is crafted with Care. designed for a Purpose. Designed to be used, loved and enjoyed for years to come.

Thank you so much for being here, whether you've been following for years or have only just found me.

Put the kettle on, have a browse and make yourself at home.

Sharon xx
