Honestly? I don't really have a set time. 😂
Between being Mum to two little boys, working part-time and everything else that comes with everyday life, there isn't exactly a big chunk of uninterrupted time waiting for me to sit down and crochet.
So I make it wherever I can. 🧶
A few rows while the boys play.
A little bit while they watch TV.
Crochet on the sofa after bedtime.
A project in my bag so I can pick it up whenever I get a spare few minutes.
It's lots of little pockets of time rather than one big crafting session.
Sometimes I have to put it down 47 times before I've finished a row 😂 but somehow, little by little, those tiny moments turn into the finished pieces you see here.
And I think that's one of my favourite things about handmade is knowing that every piece has been made slowly, around real life, with a whole lot of love (and probably a cold cup of coffee somewhere nearby ☕).
So this is the behind the scenes you don't usually see… 🥰🧶

Hello everyone! 🥰 I hope you’re all having a wonderful summer so far!

I’m still busy behind the scenes working on orders and getting everything ready for the Anna, Jo and Claire Christmas Market 🎄✨ Social media has definitely been the last thing on my mind while trying to juggle the summer holidays! 🫠

And speaking of big things happening… my biggest boy is starting school in September! 🥹😭 Such a huge milestone, and I’m definitely feeling ALL the emotions!

Is anyone else’s little one starting school this year? How are you all feeling about it? 🥹

Anyway, here’s a little peek at a recent custom request... this magical little fairy! 🧚‍♀️✨ How cute is she?!

So happy with how these adorable teacher gifts turned out! 🌻🌹💛

A lovely little request for a special little boy whose favourite flowers are sunflowers and roses, to give to his nursery teachers as a little thank you. 🥰

I think they turned out so sweet! 🌻🌹✨
