I soooo look forward to your posts. They are always full of eye candy!! Wishing you a healthy and happy new year!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI "second" everything you said at the end! Praying for a better 20221 healthwise and country-wise as our country is somehow very divided right now. Oh and I DO LOVE mince pies so much! Your baby ones look delish! Love your new quilt pieces and I bet the bunnies' new sweaters are darling! Happy New Year to you too.. I so enjoy your blog! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteTanti auguri di Buon Anno a te e famiglia. Sono sempre gioiose le tue fotografie dei tuoi fiori, della tua casa, delle tue creazioni.
ReplyDeleteI really love your new star quilt squares, my favorite is the last photo, bottom left. Love the plaid/floral center! I look forward to seeing your tiny knitted sweaters. I love tiny clothes for some reason!

What a beautiful post. The flowers are a lovely addition after removing all the Christmas decor. I could read Miss Read books forever. I find them so relaxing. Happy New Year!

Cozy and warm sounds wonderful - it has been snowing here pretty much all day, but just 'lightly down' :). Love your pretty pictures and spring flowers and your beautiful star blocks. Everything is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I absolutely love Miss Read stories. I have exactly that edition and have for many years wanted to make the quilt on the cover. Only last week I was thinking about it again and here you are making that very quilt!!!!
