Hi Lucy...its always a treat when I visit your blog and I enjoyed today's visit immensely. The flowers were gorgeous! Its amazing how big your little boy has gotten. Love his pudgy tan hands holding the big apple!
We're having a very hot, humid summer here in the U.S. so I'm not knitting or crocheting....and no real quilting. I have been making up loads of yo-yo's to make into a quilt, so that is fun.
Come visit my blog sometime and you can see my weekly pictures of yo-yo's (50 per week!).

Dear Lucy the weather down here today has been heavenly. An early morning walk through the woods and lunch in the garden, some cutting of
the weed filled grass that passes for lawn and sitting and chilling. A good start to the holidays! xx

Hi from Oregon USA.. I enjoyed seeing the fun everyday things that make you and all of us happy. Very nice, my dear. Now to go outside and watch my grandsons riding their quads around the pasture. Camera in my pocket. :-)

Another lovely post. You always inspire and remind me to surround myself with beauty everyday. Your pegs (we call them clothespins) are great! That does it -- I am searching for pretty ones and tossing the wooden ones!

And I thoroughly ENJOYED reading your post and seeing your photos. You inspired me to go out to my own tiny garden and cut some daisies to enjoy inside. Thanks!

What fun! I just love the flowers from your garden. I think they're actually prettier than the ones from the florist! Some of my little flowers have begun to bloom and I finally have a camera to take pictures of them!
I just love seeing pictures of your beautiful, warm, colorful home! Are your sheets Cath Kidston? I just love crisp, rosy sheets!

Love your blog, it's really inspirational. I'm using your neat ripple pattern right now, trying to create a blanket. The pattern is really easy to follow! Wish you all the best. /Petra from Sweden
