🍂 HELLO SEPTEMBER! 🕯️❤️

•

Back to work for me this morning, while my craft table is already waiting for me at home. 😂

•

There’s plenty happening behind the scenes at Glow & Stitch Joy — orders, a candle bouquet in progress and, as always, far too many new ideas in my head! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

•

September will bring a little bit of everything — candles, gifts, baby pieces, bouquets and hopefully a few surprises. ❤️

•

What would YOU like to see from me this month? 👀

🍎📚 A LITTLE BACK-TO-SCHOOL GIFT FOR TEACHER 📚🍎

September is here… and that means back to school! ❤️

•

We often think about thanking teachers at the end of the school year, but why not start the new one with a little gesture too?

Something small to say:

“Wishing you a wonderful new school year.” 🍎✏️

•

So I’ve created this sweet little handmade candle gift for teachers — beautifully presented in its apple-themed gift packaging and finished with a satin bow. 🕯️🎀

A little different from the usual chocolates or mug, and something made especially for them. ❤️

•

✨ £10 + InPost postage

🎨 Colours can vary
🌸 Scent can vary
🕯️ Handmade to order
🎁 Ready for gifting

•

Perfect from a child starting with a new teacher, returning to a favourite teacher, or simply as a lovely little “Welcome Back” surprise. 🍎

•

And as always, 20% from my candle sales goes into Petyo’s Diamonds of Hope fund. 💎❤️

•

September orders are now open.

Message me if you’d like one made for your teacher. 🍎📚❤️

✨ SUNDAY = ORDERS DAY at Glow & Stitch Joy ✨
•
Sunday again… which means my little workspace is busy with finishing, decorating, arranging and packing your orders ready for their new homes. 🕯️🎀
•
Today’s table has a little bit of everything — a glamorous handbag getting her final red sparkle treatment ❤️✨, pretty pink baby trainers being wrapped ready for gifting 👶🎀, and a beautiful pink candle bouquet slowly coming together flower by flower. 🌸🕯️
•
This is one of my favourite parts of what I do — watching each creation go from wax in a mould to something completely finished and ready to make someone smile.
•
There’s actually so much that happens between those two stages… pouring, unmoulding, touching up, decorating, arranging, checking, wrapping and packing. And yes… every bow gets adjusted approximately 27 times before I decide it looks right. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
•
Everything is handmade and prepared individually, so no two orders are ever quite the same. ❤️
•
Thank you, as always, to everyone who chooses my little handmade business. Every order, message, share and recommendation means more than you know. 🥰
•
Right… back to the bouquet. Those flowers apparently aren’t going to arrange themselves! 😂🌸
•
Have a beautiful Sunday everyone! ❤️

Last week’s orders were safely delivered, and this is the lovely part afterwards… hearing what you thought. 🥰

Every order is handmade with care, packed with love, and includes a little surprise thank-you gift — chosen especially for that customer and handmade by me or Petyo.

💎 PETYO’S DIAMONDS OF HOPE — MONDAY UPDATE 💎

A new week and some new little Diamonds of Hope. ❤️

With the new school year approaching, today we’re showing Petyo’s handmade diamond-art teacher cards — a little bit of sparkle for someone starting another year of teaching our children. 🍎✏️✨

Every card is made individually by Petyo, placing the tiny diamonds one by one. It gives him something meaningful to concentrate on and, at the same time, helps us work towards something very important for him.

💎 OUR FUND TRACKER

🎯 Goal: £4,000
💰 Raised so far: £12
❤️ Still to go: £3,988

It may look like a tiny beginning…

But £12 is £12 we didn’t have before. And this journey is going to be built exactly like Petyo builds his pictures — one tiny diamond at a time. 💎

100% of every card sale goes directly into Petyo’s helmet fund, together with 20% from our candle sales.

🍎 Teacher cards from £4
💌 Envelope included
✨ Individually protected
📮 FREE UK postage
🎨 Different designs available

Our goal is to raise £4,000 towards a Vielight Neuro near-infrared photobiomodulation device with an intranasal applicator. We know it isn’t a cure and that research is still developing, but it is something we would like the opportunity to try for Petyo.

If you would like one of his teacher cards, just message me with the design you want. ❤️

And even if you don’t need a card, a share costs nothing and might help Petyo’s work reach someone who does.

£12 down. £3,988 to go.
We have officially started. 💎❤️

✨ SUNDAY — DAY FOR YOUR ORDERS! ✨

As always, Sunday means I’m busy in my little creative corner working on your orders. ❤️

Here’s just a little sneak peek of what’s on my table today… 👀

Some are still very much WORK IN PROGRESS, so no judging yet! 😂

A little more colour here, a finishing touch there, some wrapping and plenty of fussing until I’m happy with every detail.

✨ Stay tuned for the final results! ✨

But while my hands are busy, there’s something I’d love YOUR help with…

🎒🍎 TEACHER GIFTS FOR THE START OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR — YES OR NO? 🍎🎒

I’ve noticed quite a few people asking in different groups for little gifts for teachers for the beginning of the school year.

And I thought…

Hmmmm 🤔 Should Glow & Stitch Joy be doing this too?

Before I get overexcited, attack the wax cupboard and pull out another 27 moulds 😂, I thought I’d ask the people who matter — YOU!

Do you normally give your child’s teacher a little gift at the beginning of the school year?

Would you like me to create a small, affordable collection?

🍎 Little candles
🌸 Scented gifts
🎁 Mini gift sets
✨ Personalised keepsakes
💎 Petyo’s handmade diamond-art cards

Nothing huge or expensive.

Just a thoughtful little…

❤️ “Here’s to a wonderful year ahead.” ❤️

So tell me:

❤️ YES STEF — GET MAKING!

😂 NO STEF — STEP AWAY FROM THE MOULDS!

And if it’s a YES, tell me what you would actually buy and roughly what budget you’d be looking at.

I’m listening… 👀

Although, between us, it may already be too late to save me from the moulds. 😂😂😂
