Sale is now live on the website. 🎉🎉

All full priced jewellery, plushies and cards have a 10% discount code which applies automatically.
I’ve added some of the new products and there’s up to 50% off bags and hats.

Please note- the website will be closing on Sunday 11th at the latest. In the spirit of honesty, my website sales are usually dire and I usually get 0 sales when I do a sale, so if by close of play on Monday there have been no sales I will close the website early.

There are a few products that will remain available in Bournemouth but this will only be stickers, cards, earrings and plushies. Patterns will be available on ravelry and ribblr.

Thanks again for all your support throughout the years ❤️

2025 for HDMakes

What a year it’s been! A rollercoaster of highs and lows. Thanks to everyone that purchased from me, liked a post, messaged etc - your support has meant the world to me 😊

The website will stay open a little longer than planned but will still be closing in January. You’ll be able to purchase from for the foreseeable future.

I don’t know what the future holds with my creative endeavours as 2026 brings huge changes but hopefully you’ll stick around as this insta page evolves ❤️

Final market weekend

It’s arrived! My final craft market for the foreseeable future. I’ve got huge discounts on bags and hats etc 🧶

I’ve been back and forth about how and when to announce this but… HDMakes is closing 😭

It’s no secret that small businesses have been struggling for a while and mine is no exception. I’ve tried so hard to keep going but this year has been beyond challenging and things need to change. Financially, I cannot continue.

The Plan:
🌟My last market is at Staggeringly Good Brewery 6/7th Dec
🌟I will keep limited amount of stock at in Bournemouth
🌟The website will close on 1st Jan
🌟I will keep patterns on Ravelry/ Ribblr for a while
🌟I will continue creating and posting here but the account may go private (tbc)

I’ll be having a sale in person and on the website as I have a lot of ready made stock.

Thank you to everyone who has purchased and supported me ❤️ I hope you’ll stick around to see what I create and maybe I’ll be able to fully restart the business one day 🤞🏻

🎉 August 🎉

What a fabulous August it’s been - an emotional rollercoaster as always but here’s the highlights:

1. Victorious Festival - the sunshine came out, lots of lovely customers and stallholders and I got to wear my new dresses 👗☀️

2. Endless cups of coffee consumed and many hours of crocheting ☕️🧶

3. Lovely catch ups and support from gorgeous friends ❤️

4. Fully restocked at Bobbys in Bournemouth and super happy with how my display is looking

I’m back from my temporary break and the website is up and running again with a few changes 😊 most of this is background changes to the settings to hopefully stop the fraudulent orders 🤞🏻

I’m hoping to come back bigger and better now I’ve had a bit of break and I’m working on new designs and stock for Victorious festival 🎉

I’ve not just been resting but have also been on bridesmaid duty at a family wedding in Santorini 💒 I made adorable wedding bunnies for the bride & groom and I’m super happy with how they turned out 🐰

Not something I wanted to post but my website is temporarily closed from now until 4th August 2025 😔😔

I’ve had an influx of fraudulent orders that my website did not detect and as a result I’m still having to pay the fees for each fraudulent order. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is in addition to a massive decrease in genuine orders and sales this year and a huge increase in my expenses. I’m really feeling the cost of living and I need to make some changes for this business to continue. 2025 has been an extremely stressful year in terms of business, finances, health, my job and pretty much everything and I need to take a break now before I break.

If anyone has any constructive tips let me know in the comments ⬇️⬇️

I hope you’ll continue to support me and this little business when I return ❤️
