🌻🍂 A LITTLE SUNSHINE FOR AUTUMN 🍂🌻
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We’ve had pumpkins… we’ve had ghosts… 👻🎃
So today I thought we could bring a little sunshine back. ☀️🌻
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
These beautiful autumn candles are hand-poured with soy wax into colourful sunflower ceramic bowls and decorated with handmade wax sunflowers and autumn leaves. 🍁
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ Two cotton wicks
🌧️ Main scent — After the Rain
🍌 Sunflower scent — Banana Bread
🌻 Reusable ceramic bowl
🤍 Each one handmade and slightly different
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I love the combination of these two fragrances — the fresh, meadow-floral notes of After the Rain, with the warm, cosy Banana Bread fragrance from the sunflower. 🌻🍌
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And when your candle has finished, don’t throw that gorgeous bowl away! Clean it out and give it a whole new life around your home. ❤️
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A little bit of summer sunshine… meeting all the beautiful colours of autumn. 🌻🍂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
So tell me…
Are you 🌻 still holding onto the sunshine
or 🎃 fully in autumn mode already? 😂

🎃☕️ PUMPKIN, HAZELNUT & CINNAMON LATTE ☕️🎃
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Today I thought I’d take you behind the scenes and show you what happens before the pretty pictures. 👀😂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mixing… whipping… wicking… and making all those tiny autumn details by hand. 🍁🎃🤎
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Yes… my workbench really DOES look like this while I’m creating! 😂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And then somehow, from all that mess, comes this… ✨
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎃 Pumpkin, Hazelnut & Cinnamon Latte Candle 🎃
Warm, nutty, spicy and wonderfully cosy — basically autumn in a pumpkin mug. ☕️🍂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Finished with tiny handmade autumn details and presented in a gorgeous reusable ceramic pumpkin mug. 🤎
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And because apparently I hadn’t made it tempting enough already… we added a few hazelnuts to the photos too. 😂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ Looks good enough to eat.
Please don’t. It’s still a candle. 😂🕯️

💎✨ PETYO’S DIAMONDS OF HOPE – MONDAY UPDATE ✨💎

Christmas has arrived in Petyo’s little diamond-art corner. 🎄❤️

He has been busy working on these beautiful sparkling Christmas decorations — Santa, reindeer, baubles, bells, a Christmas tree and more.

One tiny diamond at a time. 💎

They can decorate the Christmas tree, hang from a festive garland, or simply add a little sparkle around the home.

And we have another little bit of good news this week…

❤️ One of Petyo’s cards sold last week for £5!

So our fund has moved again:

💎 Previous total: £72.19

💌 Card sale: +£5.00

✨ NEW TOTAL: £77.19

🎯 GOAL: £4,000

Every sale of Petyo’s diamond-art creations goes 100% into his fund, and 20% of my candle sales goes into it too.

We are raising towards the Vielight Neuro Duo 4 photobiomodulation device for Petyo. We know it isn’t a cure, and we continue to follow the research carefully, but it is something we hope to try as part of his care.

£77.19 may still look like a long way from £4,000… but every card, every decoration and every little diamond takes us one step further. ❤️

Thank you to everyone supporting Petyo’s Diamonds of Hope — by buying, sharing, commenting or simply following his journey.

Diamond by diamond, we keep going. 💎❤️

A little late today… but I think this one was worth waiting for. 🍂🦊Autumn has moved into the workshop. ❤️Mushrooms popping up amongst fallen leaves, a tiny hedgehog guarding his treasure, and a sleepy little fox curled up as if he has absolutely nowhere else to be. 🦔🍄🦊All of it has been created in wax and arranged by hand to turn a candle into a little autumn woodland scene.And yes… it IS a candle! 🕯️😂Made with a soy wax base, with the little decorative elements created from a soy & apricot wax blend, then individually arranged and hand decorated.I love making pieces like this because they don’t have to look like “just a candle”. They can sit beautifully as part of your autumn décor and bring that warm, cosy feeling into the room even before they are lit.🍂 Handmade & hand decorated🍄 Woodland-inspired wax details🦔 Hedgehog, mushrooms, autumn leaves & sleepy fox🕯️ 3 wicks📏 Approx. 25 × 14 × 5 cm💷 A tiny autumn world, made entirely by hand. 🤎Glow & Stitch Joy- Unique candles made a little differently. 🍂✨

🍂🕯️ SUNDAY AT GLOW & STITCH JOY… 🕯️🍂

No orders to pack today 🥲 so I thought I’d use the quiet Sunday to clean, tidy and finish some of the projects already waiting for me.

That was the plan anyway… 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Somehow the table is now covered in candles, autumn leaves, pumpkins, mushrooms, little characters, crochet, wicks, coffee… and even more new creations than I started with. 😂

This is the side of Glow & Stitch Joy you don’t normally see.

Not the carefully arranged finished photographs.

Not the pretty gift boxes.

Just my table, my coffee, my hands busy making things… and the wonderfully messy creative process behind it all. ❤️

There may be no orders going out today, but there is certainly no shortage of ideas coming in. 🍁🕯️🧶

And apparently I am much better at creating new things than finishing my to-do list. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Happy Sunday from my little corner of creative chaos. ❤️

🍷🧀✨ FRIDAY NIGHT MOOD… BUT MAKE IT CANDLES ✨🕯️

W**e, grapes and cheese… the perfect little Friday night combination. ❤️

Except… nothing on this board is quite what it seems. 😏

The grapes? Candles. 🍇

The cheese? Candles. 🧀

The glass of red w**e? Yep… a candle too. 🍷🕯️

Every piece is handmade and arranged on this beautiful wooden leaf board to create something a little playful, a little elegant and definitely different.

Display it as a complete centrepiece, or light one candle at a time and enjoy the arrangement slowly.

Perfect for a cosy side table, autumn evenings, dinner parties, w**e lovers… or that friend who already has absolutely everything. 😂

And I have to admit — I had far too much fun making this one. ❤️

So tell me…

Would you realise they were candles before I told you? 👀🍷🧀🍇
