Welcome to another wonderful Wrap Up – and it’s a typically glorious exhibition of our maker’s talents, featuring a glittering new set of creations!

We’re sure there’s something here to make just about everyone smile, so… let’s hunker down from the winds out there and cosy up with all this handmade sparkly-ness

Baby lovey gift set

Everyone knows that we love baby gifts here at #MadeByMums, so we start today with a lovely unisex baby lovey gift set from Crochet by Lynne. For £18 you get a lovely beanie hat, pair of booties and a fabulous grey and white Nellie the elephant lovey – all crocheted with love and arriving in an organza gift bag. Sized for a baby 0-2 months old, this would make a perfect baby shower or new baby gift.

Ombre bobble hat

If you’re looking for a scrumptiously soft hat for a slightly older child, then check out this ombre effect hat with pom pom from Whiteheartjayne. Using one the patterns from Kerryjaynedesigns this headwear comes in various sizes, from newborn to 3 years old and is available in several colour combinations. If you’re after one that isn’t on the options list, please pop us a message with your preferred scheme and we’ll see what can be arranged. These are available for £11 and, as they are made to order, currently have a turnaround of 5 days.

If those falling Autumn leaves have you thinking ahead to Halloween, you’ll be delighted to see this next listing from Flower Fairy Frames. For £5.50 you will receive a sheet of cute Halloween themed stickers. Perfect for decorating a pumpkin, butternut squash, orange beachball, big balloon… or whatever you like! If your household is like ours, both girls want to decorate their own, so this will help reduce waste.

If the wind and rain has driven you inside, meanwhile, you may be feeling the urge to change your decor to give yourself a change of scenery. One Sassy Scribe has added some new designs this week including this delightful ‘Love you to the moon and back’ hand drawn and coloured card. The price is dependant on how you want the card presented and mounted. You can choose from the simple design of the card itself for £7.50, freestanding black mount for £9.99, fitted with a classic black frame for £15. You can choose the colours of the heart, rainbow and rocket – just pop those details in the personalisation box when ordering.

Macramé Wall Hanging

If you are looking to add a splash of colour to a wall then look no further than this magnificent macramé hanging from AprilsRoom for £38. In three weeks, you could have one of these fabulous pieces on your wall, made just for you! You don’t have to use this colour combination, but can pop your five colours in the order notes when ordering. This is just one of the new designs that have been added in this talented maker’s shop update this week – it really is worth visiting her shop to see them all! 😍

Crochet shower puffs

We’re definitely feeling inspired by the vibrant season colours at the moment. These colours are certainly in evidence in Crochet By Gerda’s pink, green, or orange crochet shower puffs. Crocheted in 100% cotton, they make a perfect alternative to plastic and at £11.99 offer a great way to make a saving over the longer term.

Retro Frida Stool

Keeping the environment in mind, this wonderful up-cycled stool from Peach Tree Wood not only has an eye catching colour scheme, but is using a material with a portrait of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo on it. Famous for more than her art, she was a truly inspiring figure who was politically active as well as somebody who did not let society dictate what and who she should be. We love the use of the bright red chalk paint. At £42.95, we imagine this stool to be the starting ‘spark’ for many a conversation – and perhaps a special gift for a student off to university.

Unicorn wine gift set

Meanwhile, Sparkle Glasses Gifts and More has this gorgeous and sparkly unicorn wine gift set available in her store for £15. Choose your colour selection from those listed in the options and in a couple of days this set comprising wine glass, mug, and mini wine bottle will be heading your way. A beautiful gift whatever the occasion! 🦄

Wine butler

On the subject of wine, if you’re thinking of sharing a bottle, then check out this wonderfully eye-catching wine butler from Doyle’s Resin Design. Made in white with gold leaf flakes, this wine butler comes with either 2 coasters (£27) or 4 (£35). Certainly a perfect gift for a wine lover or to add that nuanced extra touch to a romantic dinner.

And with those nights drawing in, who wouldn’t enjoy a nice evening enjoying good food, wine and company 😀

Thanks for reading, we hope you enjoyed it! Have a great week ahead all 💕
