Hi Helen,
Happy to hear you had a wonderful Christmas. Your photo's look lovely. I see the first signs of spring appear in your house too :-) I couldn't resist them either.
The Christmas cake looks beautiful!
I wish you and your family all the best for a happy and healthy new year!
Lieve groet, Madelief x
So beautiful, Helen! And it looks so sunny and bright somehow - I love it!
Wishing you a happy week and wonderful New Year soon too!

Lovely photos of your beautiful home, as always - how I want a toadstool like yours!!
I pretended it was Spring today by buying a bunch of hyacinths!
Thanks for letting us call in to see you.
Hi Helen,
Love your photos here today, so sweet and festive and fragrant. I'm so happy you are still having an enjoyable week. We are here also. Almost time to celebrate the year too! xoRobin❤
Hello Helen, sounds like you've had a lovely Christmas. I wish I could stop eating....maybe when it's all gone. : - )

Helen, I do love these views of your lovely Christmas celebrations. I wish that I could have had more than just Christmas Day off from my work, but totally enjoyed that day.
And now, in just a few more days, we will be greeting a brand new year. I continue to attribute all sorts of hopes and dreams to that fresh beginning.

That would be my favorite scent too. I light candles every evening cinnamon, apple custard, bread pudding -- all the smells that remind me of baking but none of the calories. :) I am enjoying quiet days, beautiful weather, time with friends and time to create. I love school holidays! Wishing you blessings for the new year, Tammy
Dear Helen, I'm happy to hear that you have had lovely Christmas time! I just love your candle glasses and decorations! Enjoy your holidays and Happy New Year to you and your family! x Teje
We had a wonderful Christmas thank you, your home looks lovely and festive but nice a fresh at the same time. Just wanted to say thanks so much for creating your bunny pattern, the bunnies here are very well loved already and are being taken to bed every nice to sleep with thier new owners :-) I can't find a book cheap enough to buy and post out as a pressie for a giveaway as I first thought but may make a bunny as a giveaway instead as I really enjoyed making the two girls ones :-) x

I love the slower pace of this in between time, too. I am using your colors as inspiration in my new studio space. I have lived with my old space for a couple of years now and know what i really want this time. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a Happy New Year! Patty
Oooh your house looks so cosy and welcoming as always Helen, glad you had a lovely Christmas. We had a quiet one but it was so nice all the same! Love the peek at your crochet cushion - I have been making a couple over the last week too! Happy New Year, here's to a great 2012 :) Jenny x
Things may not have gone quite as planned here, but I happily spent some time reconnecting with old friends over too many baked goods! Happy New Year, Helen.
