Welcome to by.Daisy.Dots
Creating One Stitch at a Time
Put the kettle on, make a cozy cuppa, and come sit with me for a moment.
Welcome to my very first blog post!
(Well… not my first first — but the beginning of a fresh, beautiful new chapter.)
Years ago, I had a blog that I loved — it carried many memories from 2011 to 2022. Life grew overwhelming, and in a season of needing to breathe, I let it go.
Looking back, part of me wishes I’d kept it. But honestly?
This feels right — a brand new start. A fresh journey. A place to simply be.
I thought about doing a big “rebrand” recently, but I realized… peace is more important. Stress-free is better. So for now, I’m staying true to by.Daisy.Dots — a name close to my heart.
Daisy for me, and the Dots for all the beautiful people who have touched my life — like an artist painting a crowd, where up close, each person is simply a precious dot. That’s how I see them. That’s how I see life.
A Little Life Update
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed I’ve given my page a soft pink makeover — organizing my highlights, creating a cozy, uniform feel. It’s part of my way of gently putting the pieces back together, one soft step at a time.
Life has been a tender journey lately.
Eighteen months ago, I lost my beautiful mum. It was sudden and heartbreaking.
She was my best friend — tiny, sweet, funny, and so full of love. I miss her every day.
Now, I pour my heart into being there for my dad, who at 87 is still strong, independent, and such a peaceful, steady presence in my life. I am forever grateful for his quiet strength and loving heart.
There’s been other grief too — the painful kind you don’t always expect.
Family shifts. Hard goodbyes. Letting go of people I thought would always be there.
But in it all, I’ve learned:
You can only control your own heart. Your own healing. Your own hope.
And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is whisper:
“Let them.”
Let others make their choices. Let yourself grow. Let yourself heal.
So Here I Am
Still standing. Still stitching.
Still holding onto faith, creativity, laughter, and love — especially with my wonderful husband by my side, who has been my rock through it all.
I’m creating again. Smiling again. Trusting again.
Taking one day at a time. One stitch at a time.
And I’m so happy to share this little space with you —
where you’ll find cozy crochet patterns, color inspiration, and the simple joys that make life beautiful.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for sitting with me a while.
I can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes us.
With love,
Daisy
