I always love how fresh your blog posts are and this one is no different, wonderful. Have a good New Year, wishing you well Helen x
Wow love those colour combinations. I had not thought about using the silver grey - very pretty colourways both of them.
I am in the dog house where wool is concerned at the moment with OH he considers that I have more than enough wool! Crochet is one of my main hobbies and I promised a young mum a throw for when she was nursing baby. I have been and bought the wool today a peppermint green and white Her choice of colours). Hopefully I will get this started this coming weekend. I have two lap throws to finish off before then. I work systematically preparing all the centres then the next rows etc. and then I go and buy the background wool to finish everything off. I find it easier this way as sometimes I do not have much time but at least I am doing something. Have a lovely New Year and look forward to viewing your work to come. Take care. Pattypan xx
I agree Helen, the promise of spring in all in the new shoots and bulbs is great!
I love both your blankets and yes it is a good idea to work on two at the same time for a little variety.
Happy new year to you and yes I'll be back here to join you in 2016!

I'm so glad that you had a lovely Christmas Helen. It's so lovely now to think ahead to the spring bulbs, although we some in flower here already! Enjoy your days off until the new year, I love this time of the year. It's been a great year blogging and see you in 2016 my friend xx
Loving your colours as always :-)!
I wish you all the best for the new year dear Helen, lots of love from Mirjam.
Love your blankets and promise of a new year with spring bulbs..wishing you another prosperous and surprising one. Love Pat x
I love the color in both your blankets.. and admire the baubles you made. I just made one and was disappointed in how it came out.. yours are joined much better. I might have to try another one. Enjoy your week between.. I call it my "homey week". ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

It is lovely to see your projects and your plants, Helen. I am very excited about the Amaryllis bulb I grew last winter. I kept it in hopes of coaxing it to bloom again. Several weeks ago I started watering it and it has grown over foot tall stem topped with a promising bud! I will post a photo when the bud opens :) May you and yours be blessed with a happy 2016. xx
wishing you a wonderful new year Helen xxx
Hello Helen,
Lovely colors you've chosen, and those crocheted baubles are just perfect! Sun shines here today too (yippee!), so I am sending you sunny greetings for the last days of 2015 and a very
Happy New Year 2016!
Yours,
Mia
A Very Happy New Year to You & Yours!
As part of my 2016 winter cheer me ups, I'll be using colors from your blog because they are so cheerful and refreshing. I'm adding color therapy to aroma therapy, music, crafts, and hot chocolate. :)
Thank you for the inspiration
Lovely colour combinations xxxx Have a very happy new year :)
It is always a treat to see your beautiful creations. Thank you so much for posting such lovelies all year long. I look forward to next years creations, too. You do cheer us up!
Hello, Helen...I am here from the rave post by Brenda..she was right..this is a wonderful blog. I am now following thru Google Friends Connect and by email.
PLEASE tell me you sell some of your beautiful creations...I don't have a crafting bone in my entire, olden body and could never do the things you do. They are so pretty...and I really enjoy your talent with color...I can't help but wonder if your children inherited some of your talents. My mother was so like you...she could do anything she wanted to do...I, however, didn't get a bit of her talents. :(
I would love for you to come see me sometime but please know that my blog is nothing like yours...no crafts or anything...just my every day life.
OOO and I meant to add that I grew up with a little girl living next door and her name....Helen Phillips...:)
Lovely blog as ever Helen. I, too, love the colours you have used for your blankets.
Take care.
Love Carole Williamson from Rossendale, Lancashire xxx

I've resolved to slow down this year. And I was just wondering if another granny square blanket would be too many. Nope...not after seeing yours! I'm off to my craft room to dig out some yarn.
Happy New Year and thanks for the inspiration!

Happy New Year to you. I like the crochet baubles. My thoughts are on Spring bulbs too - can't wait for masses of daffodils and tulips to emerge. Betty
