🍂 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? 👀

💎❤️ PETYO’S DIAMONDS OF HOPE — OUR JOURNEY BEGINS TODAY ❤️💎

Today I am sharing something very personal and very close to my heart.

For those who know Petyo, you know that life has changed enormously for him. But there is still something he enjoys — creating his beautiful diamond-art cards.

He sits and carefully places each tiny diamond, one by one.

And I started thinking…

What if something Petyo enjoys could also help us do something for Petyo?

So today, Petyo’s Diamonds of Hope begins. 💎❤️

🎯 OUR GOAL: £4,000

We are hoping to raise £4,000 towards a Vielight Neuro Duo 4, a near-infrared photobiomodulation device designed to deliver light to the head and, through a nasal applicator, to frontal areas of the brain.

Photobiomodulation is an area of ongoing research, including research looking at whether near-infrared light may support brain function and cellular health. It is not a cure for dementia, and we cannot promise that it will help Petyo.

But we want to explore this option with appropriate medical guidance and give Petyo every reasonable opportunity we can.

💎 HOW WE ARE RAISING THE FUND

Petyo’s Diamond-Art Cards

Petyo’s handmade cards will be available from £4 each, with FREE UK delivery.

There are designs for birthdays, thank yous, weddings, new babies, Christmas, teachers, special occasions and more.

Every card sold will contribute towards our £4,000 goal.

🕯️ GlowAndStitchJoy Candles and IskraRay

I will also donate 20% of my candle sales to Petyo’s fund.

So you can support Petyo by buying one of his cards, choosing something from my candle shop, or simply sharing our story.

And that last one costs nothing. ❤️

❤️ WHY THIS MEANS SO MUCH

These cards aren’t just handmade products.

They are made by Petyo.

Every little diamond represents time, patience and something he is still able to create with his own hands.

We don’t know where this journey will take us.

But we do know that we want to keep trying.

Our goal is £4,000.
Our project is ongoing.
And every single little contribution brings us closer.

£4+ for a card.
20% from a candle.
A purchase.
A share.
A kind message.

It all matters.

💎 Made by Petyo.
Bought with love.
Helping us hold on to hope. ❤️

If you would like to support Petyo, please message me to see the cards available.

And if you can’t buy anything, please share this post. You never know who might see it.

Thank you for helping us begin this journey. ❤️

£0 → £4,000

Let’s see how far we can take it together. 💎❤️

My beautiful Mum turned 80 💜🌸She has always loved orchids — so graceful, so elegant. But she could never have one… Winters are far too cold here, and her home simply doesn’t get enough light. Real orchids just wouldn’t thrive.So for her birthday, I crafted something special — a hand-crocheted orchid that stays in bloom forever. No watering, no sunlight, no worrying about the cold — just everlasting beauty 💜And if you feel the same? If you adore orchids but simply can’t grow them — wherever you are, whatever the season — send me a message!Tell me your favourite colours, your dream style… and I’ll create your perfect orchid — one that will bloom beautifully, always 💜

Made with love… and a little bit of family persuasion 🧶✨Let me tell you how this little guy came to be! My grandchildren are absolutely crazy about ✨Wars — they watch it, talk about it, and dream about it. One day they looked up at me and said: “Grandma, can you make us one?” 🥺Well… how could I ever say no? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I got my softest yarn, sat down, and stitched every single loop. It started as a special gift for them, and now I’ve made a few more to share with fellow fans who love something handmade and full of heart.💫 Details:• 100% hand crocheted• Soft, durable premium yarn• Small enough for desks, shelves, or bags• Made to order right here in the UK. This is my original handmade design, inspired by what my family loves. It is not official or licensed merchandise, and is not connected to any franchise or brand. 📦 Ships in [3–5 working days]. 👇 DM or visit my shop to order!

🩷 Bababa – Where my childhood meets his 🩷. Every night, when I am not at work, our family have a sweet little routine: we have our video call, and it’s always the absolute highlight of my day 🥰. It all started one evening — my 3-year-old grandson was telling me about something called “BABABA” with such contagious excitement, so much passion, big expressions and bright sparkling eyes; I could feel his joy right through the screen! 🤩✨ I had no idea what he was talking about, so I asked his mummy, and she told me: “Oh, he means the Barbapapa family! We bought a book from a charity shop, and he is completely obsessed with them!” 📚💖And just like that… it all came flooding back! Vivid, warm, happy memories from my own childhood rushed straight into my heart — I loved them so much when I was little! 🥹 That pure excitement he had stuck with me, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.I started crocheting them one by one 🧶🪡… and every time we were on the phone, the very first thing he would greet me with was: “Babababa mani molia?” 🥹💬 — he just had to see the ones I had made so far! That sweet, eager question was my biggest motivation, and it kept me going, stitch by stitch, until I had made all 9 members of the family just for him ❤️.Now he carries them everywhere, still calls them all his “Bababa”, and plays with them every single day 🧸💫. What started as a story in a second-hand book, shared over a video call, has become the sweetest bridge between generations. My beloved childhood friends are now his favourite playmates… and there is no greater joy than passing down a little bit of magic, love and memories from my heart to his 🥹💖. Handmade gifts aren’t just toys — they are love, history and family wrapped in yarn 🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🩷
