 ..............knitting is so soothing and calming.........peaceful yet productive.............
 ..............loving all the decorations and pretty candles around the house.......

    Helen,Holly is precious! She would make a wonderful new member of any family. If I were fortunate enough to win Holly would go to a little girl in a family of need in our neighborhood. At the same time, my granddaughters would learn hopefully learn the true gift of giving in the process. Also the mug is definitely festive! I might have to add it to my holiday treasurers.

    Hi Helen,
    I am very new to your blog. I love the bright colours and patterns. Holly is adorable, I can picture her on the mantle or sitting under the Christmas tree. :-)
    Your tree looks very pretty I think mine is the only family that puts ours up close to Christmas anymore. The Cath Kidston mug is very Jolly. Perfect for hot chocolate drinking. ( I drink lots year round) I am just starting to get organized to start quilting in the new year. I have not done before and am apprehensively looking forward to learn how! I made a pin cushion and sent it off to Droitwich Spa as a Christmas gift. My very first four squares sewn together. I know it will get harder here on in. I recently read that my sewing does not have to be perfect because life is not that way and imperfections make it your own and its the journey of learning is the important bit. So I am practicing that for when I start learning. I need to try and make a heart like the one on the side of your blog page. I do love hearts. I am very sorry I am rambling at you as I seem to think of everyone as friends. Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas

    What a lovely festive giveaway and post. All your bunnies are treasures, and Holly is delightful in her winter woolies. Thank you for sharing all your Christmas decorations .. I haven't even got mine out yet!But I have been busy making one of your Xmas stockings with hanging cross-stitch parcels for my day old great niece to go with two others I made for her sisters first Christmases. Your crafting love goes on Helen. XXX

    Oh Holly, what a lovely bunny you are! I think it would be too long a distance to come all the way to New Zealand as a give a way, but if you take enough cookies with you - you might just make the journey! I can promise you a lovely new home with friends of your own!

    Oh goody goody (clapping of hands!).... I love a giveaway,,,, especially sweet little Holly or the DARLING mug! How fun and how sweet of you to do this. I loved this post.. so full of the reds and whites of Christmas and love your hydrangeas in the mug (or pitcher). Love the white rocking horse on the tree and there's one of those cute mushrooms with the red hat and white dots (as seen on my last blog post, there ARE real!). What fun and can hardly wait to see who wins. Thank you so much Helen!
