This week feels like one to treat ourselves in, doesn’t it? The gorgeous new collection of items we have for you this week are as warm and sparkly as the weather is lousy.

So, put your feet up, get a brew going, and warm yourself on this… our latest #handmadehighlights! 😍

I’m starting this week with a beautiful one of a kind pendant and earrings set from Artis Cre Handcrafted Jewellery. For just £44 you not only get a beautiful Mookaite pendant with goldstone and jasper beads on a 16” sterling silver chain, you also get a pair of matching earrings of goldstone and jasper beads. These come in her branded Artis Cre gift box and in a gift bag.

My next choice is another one that show off the glorious colours of autumn. This soft and cosy knitted snood has been hand knitted by Forget_me_not_crochet and is available for £12.99.

Next up is this cute long sleeved fox and birch tree top from new seller LogieBear Love. Featuring some cute little foxes, this top comes with longer cuffs that can be folded or unfolded to adjust the length so that it grows with your child. This one is sized 12-18 months and is priced at £17, but other sizes are available from her shop (price may differ due to size). These tops have an estimated dispatch date a week after the order is placed.

My next selection is a beautiful gift just perfect for congratulating somebody on the announcement of their little bundle, or at their safe arrival. This delightful pair of baby congratulations booties have been crocheted by new maker VintageCrochetCo. For £19.50 you can choose the colour of the booties and a label for them to come with – and ready for dispatch in 5 days.

If seeing dainty little baby makes puts you in the mood to pick up your hook or needles, then The Lilac Charm has added some more wonderful stitch markers to her shop this week! These adorable kawaii shooting star stitch markers are amongst her latest additions and they come in the three colours shown. Please note that you are purchasing one marker for £3.35 and that they are fitted with a lobster clasp fitting.

If you’re well into your present knitting and are looking for a new pattern, and a sock pattern at that, then check out this ‘Hold Me Close’ sock knitting sock pattern from Louise Victoria Designs. Launched last night, these fabulous socks are knitted using double knit yarn so work up quickly and are extra squishy. If you know somebody with high arches, these socks have been designed to offer extra grip and comfort. For £1.50 you will immediately be emailed a PDF file of the pattern that you can download onto your device. If you are logged into your Made By Mums account when you buy this pattern, a copy will also be placed into your download library.

I always think that fun and squishy socks make wonderful Christmas presents, so seeing them always puts me in a festive mood. Another thing that never fails to awaken my Christmas spirit is making decorations or cards, and this week Leas Cards & Gifts has added this pack of five colouring cards. Included in the pack for £5 are some colour pencils for a ready made activity pack that can keep little pickles quiet on a rainy afternoon.

As well as decorating the front room with cards, we love decorations of all sorts and often make wreaths to hang from doors, in windows and, well, anywhere I can get away with it! If you’ve changed your colour scheme this year and are looking for a wreath with cute gnomes on it, then Too_crafty_gem can make you one of these gorgeous wreaths. Just pop your colour preferences in the personalisation box when ordering. Normally £18, these gnome and pompom wreaths are currently on sale at £16.20, so be quick if you’d like to take advantage!

My last highlight this week is this super Christmas Eve box by Krafty Crafts. Priced at £35, these handmade wooden boxes can be personalised with your child’s name in unpainted wood. The extra embellishments will be painted or glittered, but may differ to the ones in the pictures shown in the listing. The estimated dispatch time for these boxes is two weeks from the order date, but please take into account that some areas are already experiencing delays in their postal services. The box will arrive ready for you to fill with treats for Christmas Eve and can be used year after year.

That’s us for another week! Have a great one ahead – and thanks for reading 😊💗
