What a lovely catch up to the summer your photos are. Autumn is certainly on the way. Can't wait to see what comes next
Hi Helen, I'm catching up with your recent posts today. It looks like autumn has set in where you are! I can't wait for it to come here too. I love your little granny blanket, the colors are beautiful! It looks like the perfect lapghan for the colder weather. Hope all is well with you.
Yours is such a pleasant blog to vsit. I marvel at all your pretty projects as well as your colorful props. �� I collect pitchers, and just love the ones you include in many of your photos!
Its cold and wet and very windy outside where I live, then I see these beautiful colours of summer. Love the crochet blanket certainly need that where were are today too.

Well as your know I don't like the end of summer, it seems to have come to an abrupt end this year too!
Lots to love here today though....that fabric is gorgeous especially the gull prints, beautiful crochet and of course the very gorgeous Molly.
Wishing you a happy new week Helen with, fingers crossed, some sunshine,

Beautiful fabrics, beautiful crocheted blanket and lovely place to walk!

What a cosy little fireplace. Molly knows exactly where the best spot is :)! As much, as I love the summer rains and sunshine - I love when the weather turns colder and it is pumpkin and squash time, and for the big show our maple trees put on in the Fall. It is just sad, that winter follows - and is such a looooong season here :)! Oh well, as long as I can stay cosy in my sewing room - it will be happy times! Loved all your summery - and fallish pics! Molly is such a cutie!
Thank you for adding me to your blog. Absolutely beautiful, I love ❤️ the pin cushion and the peaceful, cosy sewing room. I'm going to go back and enjoy your previous posts now!! xx
Love the fabric designs, just lovely. Your blanket is pretty but Molly well of course she is so adorable :)

Your images bring me such joy! Bless you 💕
Helen,
Beautiful seaside colors throughout this end of summer post. Love the rockpool fabrics and of course your sweet makes using them. I especially love the granny square blanket and the cute picture of the colorful beach huts. I am sorry to see summer end, but the autumn season is a favorite of mine as long it is not too short. Not a great fan of winter, but it is a wonderful time to catch up on quilting and other crafting while the garden beds are put to rest.
Thank you for sharing. Happy quilting!!

That fabric looks like it was made just with you in mind! I also love being by the ocean and i can think of some cute things to make with those fabrics. We are having cool temps here too and I am getting out my fall decor and neatening up the gardens. Have a great week!
What a sensible girl Molly is! Love your fabrics (a seaside fanatic myself) and your crochet colours - it's just the join as you go method that eludes me for some reason! A blustery day indeed - I almost turned into Mary Poppins walking over the Old Dee Bridge with my umbrella!
I love the colours in your new blanket, they are so soft and candy like. I also like the picture of the beach huts and the one from your studio with the fire on and Molly at the front.
I wish you lots of lovely autumnal moments and creative crafts , as always!!
Love,

Hi, Helen! I loooooove your granny squares blanket and all your photos .... love your blog and love your flowers ..... a big hug from Catalonia!
Such a gorgeous way to end summer Helen...I also love your last photo. Sending some last sunshine to you from Rhodes! xxx
Helen,
You blog warms the heart no matter how chilly the weather.
Such a lovely pretty blog post as always Helen I never tire of reading them. It lifts my spirits whenever I read them. Thank you so much for the effort you put into the lovely posts. Take care.
Love from Carole from Rossendale xxxx
We've had such a long hot, hot and dry summer that I'm more than ready for autumn. I look forward to making soup, wooly sweaters and cozy nights in front of the fire. Molly is so sweet sitting in front of yours. She must be a wonderful companion. And I love those quilts on the chair! Your granny square blanket is so pretty. It makes me want to buy some yarn and do some crocheting. Something I haven't done for years. I love to see what you're working on, Helen. Always a treat. xo
Your posts are always so charming...lovely colors and creativity. Your blanket is so pretty and your pup is a heart stealer!
Hello Helen , I'm very to have found you . You're inspirational and love your selection of colors and the way you compose everything together.
Moly is so cute in front of the fire place. Your room is lovely and cozy . Oh, yes looking forward to start sewing soon and knitting .
Happy crafting 🍂🍂🍁
Hello my friend.. I love seeing the new things you've been making.. as a sailor and sea lover I can certainly appreciate the motifs in the designs.. and the colors of them too. Congrats on your fabulous blanket finish! It's a blue ribbon winner for sure! Our season is changing here too. I love autumn, it's winter that I'm not fond of. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Hello Helen, I love your red and whites, the cupboard has had a very good makeover and fits right in with your other pieces. The Australian magazine looks interesting.
Autumn is my favorite season and then Winter. It is still so hot here it's hard to think fall though. Your little Molly is so cute. Those fabrics were custom made for you! Your blanket is so pretty....one can never tire of granny squares.
I have just found your blog and it's so lovely, thank you for all the beautiful pictures and inspiring projects. It's good to know that other people have lots of projects on the go too! X
