Welcome to our latest #WeekendWrapUp! And hasn’t the weather taken a turn for the colder this week? Brr!

To warm us all up, I thought I’d start off this week with a few winter warmers to help keep you and your little pickles warm, inside and out!

First up is this fun and delightful ladybug blanket from That Perfect Gift. This colourful baby blanket has been crocheted using baby soft wool so would be perfect whilst out and about, snuggled up on the couch watching movies, or for bedtime. For £18 this cute ladybird blanket can be heading your way in just a couple of days.

If you’re braving the elements, check out the latest additions from Raffy & Bee. This week she has added some snuggly accessories including this beautiful ear warmer/headband in a lambs wool/silk blend. Made with a gathered finish with a button embellishment, this autumnal coloured headwear is priced at £17.50.

If you’re looking for some inside headwear for this festive season then pop along to the Hannah And Me Shop to see her handmade scrunchies. This festive robin scrunchies is one of her new listings and is available for £4.

Next up I have chosen another listing that features a cute bird! Wrapped up in a hat and scarf, this sweet Christmas penguin baby vest will help keep your little one all cosy. Available from Imo Imo Baby for £14, these baby vests will also give you a warm happy glow as they are made from fair trade organic cotton. Good for the planet, and good for all parties, from the workers growing the cotton to the small business producing and selling the clothing, to our small business providing the selling platform.

It’s not just cute babies that can look good this festive season! Psquared has added some fabulous bowties to her shop this week. Made with adjustable fastenings, these origami folded Japanese fabric bowties have a week turnaround and are priced at £22.50.

If you’re looking for some kind of sparkly neckwear to complete an outfit, then have you ever considered a mandala inspired flower design pendant made from copper? Listed in Emelia & Everly Keepsakes’ shop for £25, this copper pendant can also be made in fine silver. The silver one is priced at £50 – simply make your selection while adding it to your basket.

Speaking of silver, Stitch Street Crochet has put together a delightful pack of crochet Christmas decorations including two silver stars. Also included in the set are 2 snowflakes and 2 red stars. In total, six reusable handmade Christmas decorations are in the £10 pack – good for this year and many more to come!

If you’re anything like me, you like to spend part of Christmas Day hiding somewhere, scoffing choccies and reading a new book. I might be one of those people that likes to have several books on the go at the same time (I don’t limit my flitting from thing to thing with just my crafting projects!). So you can imagine that bookmarks are very handy, and I can never have enough of them! If you have a book lover in your life, I’m sure that they’d appreciate one of these beautiful cabochon bookmarks from Clair Wolf Creations. Priced at £7.49 these antique bronze plated bookmarks make a lovely stocking filler to go with those aforementioned choccies!

My last choice this week is for a furry family member. This hand painted pet bowl stand has been lovingly made from recycled wood. It comes with a metal bowl as shown in the picture and lifts the food bowl off of the floor, which some dogs may find more comfortable. This unique piece costs just £20.95 and is available from Peach Tree Wood. Our pet companions have been such a comfort for their families this year, it would be nice to get them a special something at this time of year.

That’s all from us for another week. Thanks for reading, stay safe and have a great one ahead 😊
