..........and the lovely river view when the sun came out as we walked along the groves.....

Oh Helen your little toadstool house is adorable!!!
Beautiful Chester, it has been many many years since I was in Chester but I do remember how pretty it was.
Your new quilt is gorgeous, looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
It all looking very cosy at yours ... and that sounds a delicious recipe!
Happy weekend lovely,

Beautiful views on your outing. Christmas decorations are always so lovely to see. Cozy times in your studio, and a lovely quilt result.

Love all your cosy pictures - especially the Toadstool House with the sweet candle shining brightly inside. Beautiful pics of your outing - always enjoy seeing the buildings and scenery from where you live. We have a dusting of snow here with more to come this weekend. Everything is put away and 'put to bed' outside. No more sitting on the back porch till Spring :)! Lots of Christmas baking going on right now. Enjoy your weekend, Helen!

What a lovely outing you had! The Tilda Windy Days quilt is gorgeous and I just love that little toadstool pottery. I had a little toadstool moneybox when I was a child that looked just like it and I absolutely adored it! Have a lovely weekend! Hugs Christine xx
