Good evening! It’s that time of the week again… welcome our latest #WeekendWrapUp, our round up of all things new, shiny and sparkly on #MadeByMums.

With Mother’s Day just 3 weeks away, we have some glorious new handmade items added this week for you to peruse at your pleasure! 🤩

Wiggles Bear added a plethora (love that word!) of all new signs, wreaths and coasters to suit not just Mother’s Day, but Easter and more besides, including this beautifully made “If mums were flowers…” plaque. With its sweet and heartfelt sentiments, just one is available in maker Anne’s shop now, with a lead time of 2-3 weeks otherwise. So, if you’re planning the ideal mother’s day gift, now’s the time to act on this one! 🙂

Meanwhile, Makepeacemade’s beautiful heart patterned mug cosy warms a cuppa as well as a heart, and would also make a fitting Mother’s Day gesture. With a wide choice of colours available, pick your mum’s favourite one and add some sugar-free sweetness to their brew for just £7.

We love a practical gift, and if your mum is eager to do her bit for sustainability in everyday life, consider gifting her a set of beeswax wraps from Letty Threads. Containing 5 wraps, they’re a perfect plastic free alternative to cling film, and can be reused for 6-12 months. Easy to use, water resistant, recyclable… and even antibacterial, order yours today for just £10.95 posted.

So, practical yes. But sparkly? Well we’d never say ‘no’ to that either! Handmade jewellery maker Artis Cre has added an amazing new selection of stunning earrings, necklaces and pendants. Included here are these striking hand crafted drop earrings made from beautiful green moss agate. As a mum is a true one off, each stone contains its own unique hue of colour, making it a touching way to share your appreciation. Available now for £20 including recorded delivery.

If you’ve got little ones, or friends who do, a number of our makers have added adorable mini-makes that will be sure to make both parent and young ‘un alike happy little campers!

We love the super cute crochet slip on baby shoes added by Whiteheartjayne. A super way to commemorate a special new arrival to the world, they’d make an ideal baby shower gift. A pair of these lovelies can be yours (well, theres!) for the very reasonable price of just £7 delivered.

Also highly worthy of consideration for that baby shower celebration is the captivating new crochet star baby blanket added by Resting Stitch Face UK. Lightweight, machine washable, and gorgeous in its alluring shades of blue, the blanket is currently on sale, so grab a bargain while you can and bag yours for just £25 posted.

Alternatively, perhaps purple is more their colour, in which case Emkatcrochet’s white and lilac crochet blanket might prove that perfect outing accessory! Made with the super soft squish of fluffy feel yarn, it’ll keep a little one cosy in the cold, and can fit nicely on a single bed too. £25 including postage.

For those little tots reaching the ripe old age of 3 whole months, Tilly Willow’s Fancy Pants has added to her collection of fabulous hand crafted harem pants with this ‘I am rhino’ design with sea blue trim. With bold print and colour, these ‘roar some’ fancy pants are available now and will see them right through to the ripe old age of 1 year old!

Also added this week and similarly fitting a 3 month old little darling is this beautifully crocheted Olivia Sundress Set from Soozy Sparkles. If this Spring would ever just hurry the heck up, this super cute outfit would be ready for an ever-perfect airing, and make its wearer the belle of any event or get together! Including dress, headband and just the sweetest little shoes ever, it’s available now for £30.

Meanwhile, CraftyCallys‘ adorable little red riding hood jacket will keep them cosy on darting walks out… through the woods or otherwise! This beautiful jacket can be made in sizes from 3-12 months, and each one is made to order. Commission yours today for just £16.

If your little ones are dino-obsessed, Wifflepig’s latest addition, these striking ‘galaxy dinosaurs’ cuffed leggings, are sure to be a real hit! Featuring beautifully coloured fabric depicting dinosaurs against a striking silhouetted sky, they’re available in a wide range of age ranges from £12-17, so check out the shop for the full range of choices!

Finally this week we finish with three lovely new home decorations added this week, which would make fabulous gifts or brighten up your own home (ah go on, treat yourself!)

The latest dreamcatcher to land in Aprils Room’s shop is this spectacular macrame personalised kids wallhanging. Complete in all its technicolour splendour, this dreamcatcher would add boisterous personality to any young one’s living space. Featuring your own choice of name, it’s available now for £28.

Meanwhile, The Shoe Duchess complemented the fabulous footwear based wall decorations added last week with the latest, a ski boots design. Oozing intrigue and personality, we love the originality of these creations; a super way to add a little family favour to your decor. Fully personalised with your choice of names and footwear (!) commission your own for £29.99!

Lastly, we feature this adorable “We Rise!” inspirational picture from Stitches and Stones. Embodying a spirit of kindness, empowerment and empathy, such super sentiments are surely fit to grace any wall. And yes, that can be yours, for £18 posted 😊

Have a great week ahead everyone! x
