Welcome to out latest #handmadehighlights, and with a record 27 different makers adding to their shops, there’s literally enough handmade goodness to have shown you 3 Wrap Ups this week!

We’ve done our best to condense it down (an almost impossible task!) and the result is this little glimpse of all that’s shiny and new on #MadeByMums this week 🤩

I thought that I’d start this week off with this ‘love’ floral greetings card from Round The Corner as I’m sure that we can all think of somebody special, be they friend or family member, that could do with a little pick me up at the moment. This beautiful hand drawn and coloured floral card is available for £3.49 and has been left blank inside so that you can write your own message.

Speaking of virtual hugs, we’re betting this adorable sleepy sloth gives just the best embrace from those who aren’t able to give one in person right now. These hand stitched sloths can come in any combination of colours, just pop your preferences in the personalisation box when ordering yours from Cherishedchums. For just £28 you can have the sloth of your dreams made especially for you, and on their way in 10 days.

If you’re looking for a ‘hug in a mug’ instead, how about one of these beautifully decorated ‘Look for rainbows’ mugs from One Sassy Scribe? These colourful 10oz ceramic mugs are available for £13 and if you wanted to send one as a present directly to a friend or family member, just let the maker know in the personalisation box, and use the shipping address for them when ordering.

While we’re on rainbows, have you seen these fabulous technicolour dinosaur dribble bibs added by Baby Bear Keepsakes this week? These gorgeous bibs are suitable for newborns as well as older babies and make a pretty and functional gift whatever the occasion. You can never have too many bibs in our experience and at £4 these are wonderful value.

We’re aware of Halloween approaching at the end of this month, and this year we’ll be staying home, hiding toy spiders everywhere, and making the place a little bit spooky looking for the pickles. I’ll even try not to eat all the sweeties or cobweb cupcakes beforehand! If you’re thinking of doing something similar and getting dressed up, how about one of these cute little witch hat hairbands from caitlynrose? For £9.95 you get to choose either the pink or the black felt hat. If you prefer, your hat can be attached to a crocodile clip instead of a hair band. Please just use the order notes when going through the checkout, and in 5 days your spooky accessory will be winging its way to you!

From one gorgeous hand stitched felt accessory to another… This next one is a fabulous Santa head tree decoration for your tree. This jolly fellow from Chatterbox Decor, priced at just £6.50, is just one in her festive range of cute decorations available this year – visit her shop for more! 🎄

If you’re looking for some dashing bunting to put up rather than the traditional paper chains, then check out this striking reusable Christmas bunting from whiteheartjayne. The double sided bunting uses gold and black festive patterned fabrics and would look amazing wherever it gets hung up in the house. You can choose from 5 flags up to 11, starting with 5 flags (approx 180cm) for £13, 7 flags (approx 220cm) for £17 and 9 flags (approx 310cm) for £21. You can go up to 11 flags (approx 400cm) for £25. There is even more traditionally festive coloured bunting available in her shop, please come on over and have a look.

If seeing all these beautiful handmade items has sparked your creativity, maybe you’d like to have a go at making your own Christmas cards with your little pickles over half term or on a rainy day? BubbaBee Designs has put together some lovely card making kits including this pretty pink one which you can buy for £11. The box contains 4 cards in two designs to be made as well as four tubes of glitter glue so you get a touch of extra sparkle. These boxes are made to order so there may be a slight variation from the pictured product. Please note that this activity is not suitable for children under 3.

My last selection this week will hopefully make you smile as much as it did me! The Gift Pixie has added a selection of indispensable dog poop bag roll holders to her shop, including this one that would be perfect for a golden Labrador owner. Using a keyring and a lobster clasp clip, these dog poo bag holders can be attached to either your bag or dog lead, and you’ll never forget to take them on walkies again! Made from denim and felt, the bags cost £8 and there are many different dog breeds available to choose from. Visit her shop to find them all!

That’s all from us for another week. Keep yourself safe and have a great week ahead 💞
