(The white on red writing says, ironically, “easy opening”)

Current mood 👇

Still here, still crafting, still coming up with new designs and fulfilling orders, if very very slowly. January was going to see me launch an online store and showcase many more of my favourite items and designs, but 2021 had other plans so far, and so I’m getting to do the creative stuff tiny bits at a time in between remote schooling and embracing the apocalyptic vibes. Hope you’re all keeping safe and sane ❤️

The Prospects Trust is such a wonderful organisation, and while it's a scandal that this is needed in the first place, this is such a lovely initiative. Spread the word around, and maybe consider making a donation if you can x

Prospects Trust Unwrapped and Tilly Tractor in association with the Lighthouse Centre and LuvEly are offering a 'Meal in a box' for families who might otherwise go without this Christmas.

A box will contain a selection of organic vegetables grown at The Prospects Trust Farm, stuffing and a joint of meat.

If you know someone or a family on a lower income that would benefit from receiving a 'Meal in a box' this Christmas you can nominate them by emailing [email protected] We will need to know how many people are in the family and if there are any dietary requirements.

Boxes will be available to collect from our Pop Up Shop on Monday 21st December - You will be given a time slot when requesting a box. If you are an agency or neighbour of someone you think needs a little box of 'Luv' this Christmas please email [email protected]

The one lucky recipient is not on social media, sssoo... this needs tweaking and fine tuning, but, crocheted stud earrings? Made with mercerised cotton, some beads I grabbed at the charity shop, and surgical steel studs at the back, these are inspired by nature’s own gorgeous forget-me-nots 🌸 yay or nay?

Aaaand breathe. With the last of the Christmas orders and requests completed, it is now time to move on to the long list of handmade gifts for family and new ideas to experiment with. This little pooch is the last to get out of here before Christmas 🐶

Every year I promise myself that next year will be different. Every year.

Help us settle this. Do these clearly look like hearts? J-Rex says they’re cute but don’t look like hearts, I say abstract thinking is not his forte but I’m also biased. So, who’s right?

Ho-ho-h’ovaries!

This cracked me up - I’m making a uterus keyring, was just looking for it to try on the Fallopian tubes, nowhere to be seen. Turns out J-Rex mistook it for one of my tree ornaments yesterday when we were decorating the tree 😅

Oh I do enjoy making these little critters. What other creatures might it be nice to see? Throw your suggestions at me and I’ll see if I can stitch them to life.
