I love all those pretty hexies Helen ... very festive looking.
A little something extra for your fudge ... I sometimes add some chopped pistachios, they make it look even more Christmassy and taste good! You have reminded me I must get some candy canes!
Carpet is going down here as I type, nearing the end, fingers crossed!!!
Have a great week, I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to faffing again. :)

Yes, soon Christmas baking will start around here again too :)! Your pictures look so festive with baking and beautiful fabrics. Soon the renovation chaos will be behind you - and you will get to enjoy the fresh new face of it all. Enjoy your day! I feel like I can smell your lovely candle just by seeing your pretty picture.
Happy countdown to Christmas Helen! With a all those pretty things and much love.

Helen,
It looks as if you have a good head start on your Christmas preparations. I love all the red and white fabrics for your little hexies, and I am happy for the reminder to make some peppermint bark.
I am working on gifts for my three daughters and want to begin a new quilt top with my Kaye England fabric called Amorette, but need to stay focused on tasks at hand.
Thank you for sharing such festive photos.

Wow Helen you certainly are busy, especially four weeks before Christmas.
I love your hexi quilt the colours are so pretty and fresh.
I'm still making Christmas presents two more then I'm, done.
Have a lovely week Helen.
Lovely makes, Helen. Hope you're enjoying these last days of November. It just flew by.

Yum ...I remember that recipe from Vivienne some years back Helen and I agree it is totally delicious. It's looking so festive over at yours, perfect Christmas colours. Hugs xxx
Your hexies look very pretty! I've just plucked up the courage to start some too, mine are in shades of blues.
The peppermint bark sounds delish....so Christmassy :)
Ohh.. a look-about on your blog is very festive! I've been writing Christmas cards all day, so I'm in the holiday mood, too. Our tree is up and sparkling with white lights, now I just have to decorate it. My holly tablecloth is on and my wooden Christmas candle carousel is on the table, new candles put in. Enjoy this season! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Sweet post! The hexies look like cookies. :)
Just found your blog ,I must say I love it and have been a fan of yours for many years and have a couple of your books , love all your work and the colours you use.
Such happy. lovely colors! Peppermint bark is my favorite and so hard to resist!
I am certain the fudge helped sweeten the chaos around you :) Thanks for your creative visit. xx
Looks like you've done a lot of preparation for Christmas. I like all the red and white fabrics in your little hexagon. I'm making gifts for my sisters and knitting scarves for them. My mom wants to receive a skirt and share it with you in the shop below.
