Good evening. We’ve been enjoying the pictures of snow from across the country this week whilst sighing about the rain and drizzle that we’ve had down here. We’ve been checking the weather forecast every day in the hope that we might get a sprinkling of the white stuff.

We’re all ready with plenty of woollens to wrap up warn, just in case! That’s a great perk of having a knitter and crocheter in the family 😊

But never fear if you need help in obtaining some delightful handcrafted woolies, as here at Made By Mums we have a wonderful collection of talented makers who love to make beautiful clothing and accessories.

This week Cheshire Crochet & Craft has added a stunning yellow ‘Welcome Home’ baby set for a new addition to a family. Included in the set are a pair of mittens, booties, a cardigan, a blanket, a hat and a rabbit lovey. Sized at 0-3 months this would make a lovely baby shower or new baby gift, and at the moment has been reduced in price from £65 to just £45. So, grab a bargain while it’s there!

If you’re looking for just a hat and jumper for a little one, then check out this beautiful crochet sweater and hat set from new seller HS Handmade. Priced at £35, these sets are available from 0-3 months up to 3 years old.

If however, you are looking for a 0-3 month old baby hat in pink, then this hand knitted baby hat from The Gift Pixie could be exactly what you are searching for. Priced at £6, this cute headwear is ready to pop in the post tomorrow!

Next up is something to help keep your travel mug warm whilst you’re out and about. A cute crocheted cup cosy from Diddlydodesigns is crocheted in variegated yarn and has a beautiful butterfly, so each one is unique. Priced at £3.50 these washable and reusable are a simple and cost effective way to start your day with a bit of colour and cheerfulness.

If you need a set of coasters to put your drinks on, then please consider the fabulous wave design coaster sets from ArtiCrafts. You can choose whether to have a set of 4 coasters and matching holder for £15, or just 4 coasters for £12. There are 30 colours to choose from, so if you can’t see the one that you want in the options, please pop your preference in the personalisation box.

We love items that are recycled, up-cycled, reusable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly in any form. So we’re delighted that Hannah and Me Shop has added some more of her sets of reusable kitchen wipes to her shop. For £10 you get three kitchen wipes made with a patterned cotton print on one side, and natural bamboo towelling on the other. These are a great replacement for single use kitchen roll. Just wipe up to clean your surfaces and then pop it in your normal wash.

If you’re anything like me, once your done with the dishes you enjoy relaxing with a cuppa, and like to be snuggled in the corner of the couch with a cushion or two… or three! This week One Sassy Scribe has added this luxurious vegan fabric cushion to her “Look for Rainbows” range. You can choose a different colour fabric for the back of the cushion, just pop it in the order notes during the check out process. These are priced at £23 and at 40cm x 40cm would be great in a playroom or bedroom too.

Although I still keep finding random tree baubles to put away (thanks Penny pussycat), I am aware that February isn’t that far away. And from a lot of the cute and adorable listings that have been added this week, I can tell that Valentine’s Day has been on the mind of a lot of our makers too!

This year staying in to have a special meal seems to be the evening plan for lots of people, so why not dress up your table with this St Valentines mat and napkin ring set from JuTouch Ateliê? With a choice of plain red on one side, or checkered red on the other, these place mats can be used for other special occasions too. For £48.50 you get a set of four mats and napkin rings and add a touch of romance to any meal.

My last highlighted listing for this week is this lovely card from GS Craft Co & Son. Priced at £2.25, this “Will you be mine?” card has a blank side inside for you to write your own message. Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

That’s all from us for another week. Stay safe and have a great week ahead all 💗
