Little Flower: March 2013
http://helly5.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 March 2013. BaD Blocks this week. It's a very quick post from me today, as there are electricity workers in our street and our power will be going off any minute now for 6 hours. Nooooo! I have lots of bookkeeping to do but it needs electricity. I will just have to visit the library and then get on with a bit of hand sewing :). Here are my block a day challenge blocks - deeper green this week. Labels: Block A Day Challenge 2013. Sunday, 17 March 2013. Green for St Patrick's Day! Labels: Block ...

Thursday, 27 December 2012. Days 353 to 362/366. We are getting near the end of our challenge and I have obviously lost count of which day is which. I think I have the correct days now. better late than never. My home baked Christmas gifts of Almond Shortbread and Mini Christmas cakes. Here I am at the office of one of my clients with my basket of goodies. I bought this ornament last year in honour of my daughter's performances the Christmas ballet, The Nutcracker. A much cooler day and perfect to do som...

Little Flower: Blue BaD blocks
http://helly5.blogspot.com/2013/04/blue-bad-blocks.html
Monday, 8 April 2013. I've been working on the blue tones and found it very hard going on my eyes as my cutting board is blue and the lines on my ruler are blue too! Not very good planning on my part. This is a short post as I am about to start a very crazy day of work, 2 dental appointments (yes, 2 ), a quick lunch with my best friend, a webinar and then a much needed yoga class to calm the mind, body and spirit.

Little Flower: Final colour of my big BaD Blocks
http://helly5.blogspot.com/2013/04/final-colour-of-my-big-bad-blocks.html
Monday, 29 April 2013. Final colour of my big BaD Blocks. This is the last of the colours/shades of my daughter's leaving home quilt. I am undecided on the smaller border blocks now as the quilt may be big enough without them. I'm off to our local patchwork shop, where my dear friend works, to have a look at a background fabric she thinks might suit. After I have seen that I will decide on the next step. Labels: Block A Day Challenge 2013. 2 May 2013 at 19:44. Good on you Helen! 366 day photo challenge.

Little Flower: January 2013
http://helly5.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. I have been offline for quite a few days since the wild storms that hit the Mid North Coast on the weekend. Our telephone and internet services were out of order and a call for help was placed to the telephone company. We were on the list for repairs and then this morning we discovered it had fixed itself! I have decided to join a new challenge hosted by Robyn of Daisy Quilts. I still haven't quite decided what block to make, but I do have some ideas forming. It's Summer time h...

Last weekend I received one of the most thoughtful and unique presents from my lovely brother- and sister-in-law. I loooove cheese, so they gifted me with this cute-as print above and a small wheel of the most delicious French cheese. Ever. Anyway, these guys give really thoughtful presents all the time and it has inspired me to a challenge. Every gift I buy for the rest of the year needs to be either:. Wonky and on...

Little Flower: Picking up the pieces
http://helly5.blogspot.com/2014/01/picking-up-pieces.html
Thursday, 30 January 2014. Picking up the pieces. It has been a long time since I posted on my blog, and I must confess I had almost forgotten that I had a blog. The past few months have been very hard as we have lost 3 beloved family members. We have had some very dark times when we have felt we couldn't go on, but time is a healer and today I felt strong enough to write about the pain of our loss and the path we have been on. I am back :). 30 January 2014 at 18:51. 30 January 2014 at 21:20. Hello Helen...
