Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you have a fab day filled with family and love.

Thank you so much for all your favourites, shares, and especially purchases. Each time you buy from my small business, it truly does make me do a happy dance! I also love seeing your reviews and photos of my creations in their new homes.

It's been a while since I've taken part in , so hopefully, for new faces here, it gives you a bit more of an idea of who is behind The Lilac Ladybird!

Day 1 is storytime!

My name is Jo, I'm 37 and am happily married with two lovely children and we live in Surrey, UK.

My background is in science, but I have always enjoyed crafting as a form of relaxation ever since childhood. I have many fond memories of spending time with my maternal grandmother in Brazil while she had a crochet or knitting project on the go. I tried knitting, but it never quite clicked, and then I learnt to crochet by watching lots of youtube videos in 2015 while pregnant with my youngest and haven't looked back since! Fast forward a few years when my eldest started school, and The Lilac Ladybird was born!

Hanging Bunny Eggs, complete with little feet and bobble tails this year!

Also, a recent photo I took of the beautiful display of crocuses just down the road from me in the sunshine to brighten up this miserable afternoon

One mini rainbow smooch pooch hoop finished today to brighten what has been a very grey day in Surrey!

This week has flown by. I can't believe there's only one more week of school before this half term is done. I've come down with a cold this week as it's that time of year with all the winter bugs, but I'm on the mend now, so all good! I'm loving all the signs of spring around and the longer days.

The 2nd photo was the beautiful sunset on my way to my daughter's swimming lesson yesterday 😍

This morning, I had a mum fail moment, Emilia got dressed into her uniform instead of her pe kit and I didn't notice until we walked past one of her friends outside school and Callum asked her aren't you supposed to be in pe kit today?! Thankfully, we don't live far from school, and once I'd calmed her down, I went back home for the right clothes. 🤦‍♀️I really need to find a way to sleep better!

Hope you've all had a better start to the morning than I did!

Here's another new Cactus friend added to my etsy shop:

Happy national hug day! Here's all the Animal Cacti friends together.

Had my parents over for lunch yesterday and am currently on the way to my in laws to celebrate my brother in law's birthday and also a belated Christmas celebration with them as I missed Christmas day and Boxing day due to being ill!

Hope you're all well.

I've had a busy week behind the scenes working on new products that I will show you all soon. My animal Cacti are now live in my etsy shop: here's the penguin variation

I got an etsy voucher from Frank for Christmas, so I've been looking for new patterns to make this week as well as buying myself a new mug with dogs on 😍🙈

I'm not enjoying this cold snap at the moment. Had to defrost the car twice this morning as the warm water I used had refrozen on the windscreen by the time I'd finished the rest of the windows! 🤦‍♀️

Here's the 2nd of my mini cacti range. Koalas were my favourite when I was little. I had a cuddly koala that I took everywhere until it fell apart 🙈

Happy Friday! Here's the 1st of my new range of mini cacti that don't require any watering! I love plants, however, houseplants don't always like me as I often forget to water them 🙈

Are there any animals you'd particularly like to see in the range?

Happy New Year. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Mine didn't quite go to plan this year as I was unwell and spent Christmas day and boxing day in bed! Ah well, I'm all good now and back in my crochet room with the kids back at school.

There are lots of new products in the pipeline for this year. The 1st of which is my football dreamcatcher. My eldest is back to football training tonight for his team, but given how cold it is, I think I might send him with Frank! 😂🙈

Well, that was a whirlwind. I'm so grateful for all your favourites, shares, and purchases of my animal baubles, which have been a popular purchase. The run-up to Christmas has been a super busy one this year for my little business. Most orders are now at their destinations. The last few went in the post today, and I am ready for a break!

Merry Christmas to you all.
