I love all your fall colors and projects. And, that colorful clock is great!
Your posts never fail to lift my spirits. I was feeling a bit gloomy and under the weather this morning, but after seeing your cute colorful handiwork, I can't help but smile.Your new granny blanket has such lovely pastel colors. It's going to be beautiful. I adore your pumpkin pillow and fabric pumpkins. I can't wait until your book comes out (I have longer to wait as I live in the US). I'm pleased to know that all patterns are full-size. Yippee. There's a project featured on the sneak peak site and I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it's in your new book. Have a wonderful week. :)
Чудесные работы и уютные фотографии! Особенно подушка с мухомором! На нашем краюшке земли еще по-летнему тепло и осенних красок очень не хватает!
I was so happy to read that the patterns are full size in the book, it is so incredibly annoying having to alter sizes to make a pattern work. x
love that vichy pumpkin!!!
happy week, xxxx Ale

Lindo Helen,LINDO!!! Boa semana amiga.Valéria.
Our day today is just as you described your recent days, Helen. Many of our household are fighting colds and so we went out in the sunshine today for a good dose of vitamin D. My daughters made an apple crumble last week using granola and coconut oil for the topping which was yummy. It is always pleasing to see your cheery creations. I hope you have a happy creative week! xx
Helen, I love to see fall through your eyes, the colors are just fabulous!
Helen, I love to see fall through your eyes, the colors are just fabulous!
Oh I love your fabric pumpkins! I made another crocheted one.. I bet you'd enjoy having a few of those around with your fabric ones. Mine come out about the size of an apple. I bet your big granny square project is going to be beautiful! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
My favorite time of the year. Love the pillows and the little pumpkins. They are so cute.
Really love your pumpkins!! One can never have too many pumpkins :). Pam in Norway xx

Thank you Helen for a lovely moment! Greetings from sunny Finland! x Teje
Helen, I love your fabric pumpkins! and I love your wrist! thanks for sharing such beauty! I'm always happy when I visit your blog! a hug from Catalonia!
Such beautiful makes and so much gorgeous colour. The weather here in South East England is amazing too, I love the crisp mornings of Autumn. x
Those pumpkins are so cute. I can't wait to get a copy of your beautiful book.
I am pumpkin mad so love these, they are unbelievably cute! I'd have a row of these on my mantelpiece.
Love those pumpkins

Very seasonal Helen! Love the toadstool cushion cover! I am very pleased your templates are in actual size, it is so much more convenient. I must get my book ordered. Love everything as always. Much love, Linda xx
Thanks dear Helen, your pictures make me so happy!
Those pillows are great, I love the one with the toadstool especially ...
Lots of love from Mirjam.
Well Helen here I am sat with a mug of coffee to read your lovely blog. As someone else said it is uplifting and inspirational too. I love your coloured wrist warmers, I find them so useful in the autumn especially in the early morning if I'm going out. I have a knitted pair but I can't find them grrr!
Your cardi is a lovely shade of cream/beige & im looking forward to seeing it when it's finished. The weather is certainly lovely at the moment.
Take care
Love Carole from Rossendale xxxx
You've made so many lovely things - as usual. I'm trying to use up my apples - apple crumble is delicious.
I love all the fabric pumpkins and the lovely toadstool cushion. So wonderful and happy to look at! x
Your fall makes are adorable! I love the little stuffed pumpkins. How nice to have your projects back from the publisher; I never thought about that before, but it makes sense that you would have to send them to the publisher for them to be photographed and featured in the book. It must be so exciting to know they're going to be seen by so many. I hope you're having a good week so far, Helen.
I love the mushroom pillow - hope the book launch goes well.
Autumn is definately here....I do love autumn colours.
The toadstool cushion is gorgeous.
I love your fabric pumpkins, they are so perfect for autumn, and I really like the colours of them! xx
Beautiful post as always Helen. I really love your crocheted wrist warmers...I think I may need to make myself a pair of these soon!
