Cosy October

 Hello lovely readers.......here are some cosy october pictures today as we near the end of the month (already!)......i've been busy sewing with these very pretty old rose fabrics from tilda....above is my redwork berries pincushion......(pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar)......

 ............and this is the beginning of a bow tie quilt which will have a checkerboard border too......

 ..........i wanted to use some bigger pieces to see the pretty fabrics properly....love these gorgeous shades of purples, pinks, creams, teals and reds.....

 .............i even found a bunch of supermarket flowers in similar colours to enjoy last week....

 ..........it's soup time here (well actually i love soup and make it all year round!).......

 .......but now it's pumpkin soup time :)............and this is my latest (and largest) fabric pumpkin.....

 ..............in the garden the cherry tree has shed its colourful leaves across the lawn.....more work for mr p at the weekend.....

 ............we cut the fuchsia bush back very hard last year and it loved it and has grown much bigger....

 ...........beautiful berries that are perfect for decorations in and out of the garden.....

 ........cottage garden view....plants are dying back but lots are green still and we have towering cosmos flowers.....i bought more tulips ....pink ones!...(i hope!) and need to plant them this weekend too.....

 .............cosy october means candle light, fire light, hot drinks and hand sewing......a log cabin block for my on going quilt in warm colours............and below some cosy decorations celebrating the season.......

............wishing you a very happy end of october dear readers.......hope you are having cosy crafty times and (if you celebrate it)...happy halloween.......thank you so much for visiting me here and for your kind comments which are such a treat to read.......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
