Crochet by Elle

26/07/2026

It's been a little quiet around here lately! ☀️

The summer holidays are in full swing, and between family life, keeping the boys entertained, and running my little crochet business, something had to give. To avoid burnout, social media took a back seat for a while.

I'm still here though, working hard behind the scenes, hook in hand, creating your forever flowers and catching up on orders. 🌸

Here's just a little glimpse of what I've been working on behind the scenes. Thank you for keeping me so busy and for continuing to support Crochet by Elle. I truly appreciate every single one of you. 💛

🌸✨ Blushing pink and giving me all the cherry blossom vibes today... ✨🌸

This bouquet came together so beautifully with soft pink carnations, delicate forget-me-nots, and plenty of hand-crocheted foliage to bring it all to life. 💗🌿

There's something so calming about these soft shades of pink. They have such a gentle elegance while still feeling full of summer charm. I definitely caught myself admiring this one more than once while putting it together! 🧶😊

I think this might be one of my favourite pink combinations yet. Does anyone else get cherry blossom vibes from it too? 🌸💕

🌸 A little flower update... 🌸

Look who's finally decided to put on a show! 😍 This gorgeous pink cosmos is alive, thriving, and absolutely glowing. Every new bloom feels like a little reward, and I can't help but stop and admire it every time I walk past. 💗

It has me feeling inspired... and speaking of pinks... 👀🧶

Keep your eyes peeled, because I'll be sharing a beautiful new pink crochet arrangement I've recently created very soon, and I can't wait to show you all! I have a feeling you're going to love it. 🌸✨

Nature really is the best inspiration. 💕

🌻☀️ A little ray of sunshine has bloomed! 🐝🧶

This beautiful bouquet is finally complete, and I can't help but smile every time I look at it! 💛
Bright sunflowers, cheerful daisies, fluffy baby's breath and three busy little bumblebees... it really captures everything I love about summer. 🌼🐝✨

The best part? These blooms will stay bright and beautiful all year round, bringing a little sunshine whatever the weather. 🌞

I hope this bouquet makes its new home smile as much as it has made me while creating it. 💛

What do you think... would this brighten up your home? 🌻😊

🤦‍♀️ I think sometimes I forget I'm actually running a business! 😂

That's twice this week I've sent off an order and completely forgotten to ask for payment! 🙈

A huge thank you to my wonderfully honest customers who messaged me to remind me and paid anyway. It really does mean the world. ❤️

I spend so much time thinking about crochet, wrapping bouquets, and making sure every order is perfect that the business side occasionally gets left behind! 😅

Thank you all for supporting my little crochet dream... and for keeping me right when my brain is somewhere between yarn and coffee! 🧶☕💕

☀️🥤 This weather definitely calls for iced coffee! 🧊☕

I hope you're all keeping cool and staying hydrated in this gorgeous sunshine! 🌞

As for me... you know I need my coffee fix to keep up with all the crochet orders waiting on my hook! 🧶💛

Today's caffeine comes in iced form, and I have to admit... it's hitting the spot! 😍

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's back to crocheting while trying not to melt! 😂

What's your go-to drink in this heat? ☀️🧋

☀️ Summer holidays are officially here! ☀️

If I'm a little quieter over the next few weeks, it's because I'll be juggling family time with my two boys and lots of crochet behind the scenes. 🩷🧶

Don't worry though – your orders are still being worked on, and if you have any questions about your order or your place on my waiting list, just pop me a message.

(Once again my waiting list is FULL...again 🥹.....you are all mad for my crochet flowers and I LOVE it) 🤭🤣

THANK YOU

Now I'm no professional videographer...but I feel this bouquet needed to be seen more ✨️✨️✨️

So here it is, in all its glory. Please give it the praise and admiration she deserves 🤭😊🩷🤣

🌸🩷 A bouquet made with love... and a shared vision. 🩷🌸

This bouquet has been such a special one to create.

My lovely customer had a beautiful vision for her mum's birthday – soft pinks flowing throughout, with a little nod to Scotland by including my signature thistles and an adorable Highland cow tucked amongst the blooms. 🩷💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Seeing it all come together was so rewarding, and I honestly think it exceeded both of our expectations. Every flower was carefully crocheted by hand, making this a truly one-of-a-kind gift that will last for years to come.

I absolutely love bringing my customers' ideas to life, especially when there's a special story behind them. Happy Birthday to one very lucky mum – I hope this bouquet brings a smile every single day. 💐

Thank you for trusting Crochet by Elle with such a meaningful gift. 🩷🧶

I'm pleased to announce that the lovely Emma at Bloom & Kin is back and ready to hand craft your personalised keepsake cards.

They would make the perfect addition to your Crochet by Elle handmade bouquet....Thistles, lillies, sunflowers...whatever your flower of choice we can make them to match for that special someone!

I can't recommend Emma enough 🫶
This collaboration came about from us loving and purchasing each other's work and I would recommend giving her page a follow and if like me you love professional, hand-crafted, high quality art then she is the card maker for you. 🫶💛

✨ I'm Back! ✨

First of all, I'd like to apologise for being a little quieter than usual and for taking longer than expected to reopen. Unfortunately, I've been unwell over the past week or so, so Bloom & Kin had to take a little pause while I focused on getting better.

I'm so grateful for your patience 🤍

I'm delighted to say that Bloom & Kin is officially back and open for business!

I've been working behind the scenes creating new designs, and I have some exciting news to share...

🌿 You'll be able to find Bloom & Kin at this year's Huntly Hairst on Saturday 5th September! 🌿

I'll be bringing along my collection of luxury hand-finished greeting cards, botanical prints and personalised keepsakes.

Whether you're looking for a meaningful gift, something special for your home, or simply fancy a browse, I'd absolutely love to see you there.

Thank you again for sticking with me. Your support means more than you know, and I'm so excited to be creating again and sharing this next chapter with you all.

Love, Emma 🤍
