🌸 A Heartfelt Thank You | A Look Back at a Beautiful Year 🌸

🌸 A Heartfelt Thank You & A Look Back at a Beautiful Year 🌸

As we reach the end of the year, I wanted to take a quiet moment to pause, reflect, and say the biggest, warmest thank you to every single one of you. Since taking over Apple Blossom Dreams in May, this journey has been filled with creativity, colour, kindness, and joy, and it’s all because of you.

Your messages, comments, encouragement, and stunning makes have wrapped this year in so much warmth. I feel incredibly grateful to be part of this wonderfully supportive and talented community.

 🌸A Creative Year to Remember

2025 has been such a special year with several new releases blooming into the world:

🌅 Dawn to Dusk Cushion

👶 Soft Baby Blooms Blanket

🌼 A Year in Flowers - my first collaboration with the lovely @emkatcrochet

Seeing your versions of these designs has been one of my greatest joys. Every colour palette, every stitch, every photo shared has meant so much.

 

💗 A Special Thank You

I also want to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to two amazing makers:

@crochetcreationsbywendy

@crochetwithclairex

These incredibly talented women have created so many beautiful remakes and samples for me this year. Their kindness, creativity, and generosity have lifted Apple Blossom Dreams in the most wonderful way. I feel truly grateful to call them my friends.

🌿 Looking Ahead to 2026

There is so much to look forward to!

I’m currently working on a remake of an old favourite (I can’t wait to reveal which one!), and my notebook is already full of ideas and sketches for the year ahead. Fresh colours, new stitches, revisited classics - 2026 is shaping up to be a beautifully creative year.

And there’s more good news…

Astri is still quietly working away behind the scenes, bringing her magical creativity to some new projects as well. We’ll be sharing more as soon as they’re ready, and I know you’re going to love what she’s been dreaming up.

💗Thank You, From Both of Us

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for being here, for lifting us up, and for keeping the Apple Blossom Dreams community such a warm and inspiring place.

Here’s to another year of colour, yarny goodness, new beginnings, and plenty of crochet magic.

With love,

Helen & Astri 🌸💗✨
