I’ve been busy finishing the new linen plant pot covers over the last few days.

They’re so pale that they’re proving really difficult to film properly! 😂

Can anyone work out what colour this one is?

I’m not sure the camera has done it justice at all, so I might have to redo all the videos, which would be slightly annoying!

What colour do you think it is?

Hello October! 🍂🎃

October is definitely one of my favourite months of the year. There's something about the changing leaves, autumn colours, cosy evenings and, of course, Halloween that I love. It's also a busy month in our little family because there are three birthdays to celebrate, including mine! And then there's Halloween, which is another big favourite in our house.

I can't quite believe we're already into October. Where has this year gone?
Are you an October fan too? What's your favourite thing about this time of year?

There’s something extra special about seeing a repeat customer come back for another order. It honestly means so much to know that someone has loved something I've made enough to come back and buy again!

This order is heading off to a customer who already has several of my skull plant pots, along with a few other bits I've made. And now they're adding another three to their collection!

Thank you to everyone who has ordered from me more than once. I appreciate it more than you probably realise!

Are you a repeat customer, or is there something in my shop you've bought more than once?

I don't know how this gorgeous little bag hasn't sold yet! (I actually have two very similar ones).

Although I'm wondering if I've actually shown you it or not?! Have you seen it before? 😂

It's made from fabric scraps, measures approximately 18cm cubed and has a drawstring closure.

It's such a handy little size and would be perfect for storing treats, craft supplies, sewing bits and bobs, or all those little things that need a home!

I've realised I completely forgot to show you the little gift bag that's available as an optional extra with the gardener gift set!

As you can see, it's not actually that little and could easily be reused afterwards to store gardening bits and bobs, seeds or anything else you fancy.

You can't see it very well in this photo, but I even made the drawstring myself rather than using my usual cord. It was fiddly, but it means that everything matches perfectly.

Would you reuse a fabric gift bag like this for your gardening bits and pieces?

I love it when an order fits all snug inside the box! This skull plant pot fits in there absolutely perfectly, with just enough room to keep it safe on its journey to its new home.

Skulls always seem to become especially popular as Halloween gets closer, so I'm not surprised to see this one heading off to a new home! 🎃💀

Are you a fan of a little spooky Halloween decor?

I had a lovely little walk around Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds yesterday.

The flower beds were looking absolutely amazing and were still full of colour.

What are your favourite gardens to visit at this time of year? Or anytime of year?

Today's sewing pile!

I've maybe been a little bit optimistic with how much I think I can get through today😂 But let's see how I get on!

Have you had a productive day today?

A little sneak peek at something I've been talking about for a while!

It's finally starting to come together, and I couldn't resist showing you a little glimpse before it's finished. I think this one might be a bit too easy, but can you work out what I'm making?
