Helen,
Such a cute Christmas post. So glad you found your box of little baubles. I thought I had lost a box of my Grandmother's baubles last year, and was so happy to have found it. Always love seeing a new pincushion. I have several that I use in different locations.
Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations Rhonda! Holly will be a lovely addition to your home!
I look forward to every post! I made a needle book for both of my sisters. Thank you for the idea!
Merry Christmas Helen! 🎄
So happy for the winner of Holly! would you ever consider creating a pattern for Holly's knitted dress and hat? They are both so pretty! Your "merry makes" make me happy!
Beautiful Christmas projects and tree ornaments - so glad you found them! Love how you tucked in the little mouse with a new pillow and quilt :)!
Happy Christmas!
Congratulations to Tangled Threads
The white branch tree is beautiful. What kind of tree are they from?
Hi Helen! I'm happy you found your baubles! They look lovely with the hearts on a white tree. I have my hearts on a drift wood tree with 'silver' baubles. You have made lots of beautiful festive sewings and made me think that I should make also Christmas quilt for my bedtime mouse. x Teje
Bel tessuto per i puntaspilli e molto decorosi i cuori. Ciao
So many of my safe places are still safe I am especially encouraged to know that you found one of yours, Helen! My stitching is even slower than usual but I spent the morning wrapping little gifts, putting them in a box and will be headed off to the post office soon. Hooray! Thanks for sharing some of your latest sweet makes. I do so want to come play at your house :) xxxxxx
What a lovely post. I like everything you've made. Congratulations to the winner!
Merry Christmas!
Aww Helen that gorgeous mouse...so sweet. Well done to the lucky winner, an early Christmas for her. I'm glad to hear your shopping is going well. Good luck with the wrapping, it's a job I try to fob off to M..LOL. Enjoy all the festivities, hugs xx
the little mouse is so adorable...
Congrat's to the winner. I'm sure she will enjoy bunny, Holly!

Congratulations to your very lucky winner Rhona...such a lovely Giveaway dear Helen...I'm so sorry to have missed it...my dad has been very unwell and things have been difficult over the last 2 weeks. How sweet does your little mouse look tucked up in bed and your hearts are so pretty...everything lovely as ever! ♥
Happy Thursday,

I still can't believe that I won your giveaway and that I will have one of your precious hand made treasures all to myself :) Thank you so much, Helen!
You are so talented!
I love all of your makes! So happy you found your tiny baubles. Losing something I know I purposefully put somewhere, drives me crazy!
Well done Rhona. She is in for a treat.
Helen, I love your posts. They are so inspiring they send me off to rummage around for pieces of Christmassy fabric, stuffing and cord.
How lucky to have found your lost box of baubles. Safe places are always the worst to put things away into. I am sure you passed an hour or two sifting through your diaries at the same time :-)
Really lovely Christmas works!!!A big kiss
Dear Helen, all is so beautiful and magic! I love each detail on your Christmas atmosphere !
I wish you and family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Hugs and love,
Ana (from Ana Love Craft)
