Hello everyone, this week the assignment for Robyn's Colourful Fridays is Green.
Some of you know that I have been struggling with my health. Well, the good news this week is that I started thyroid medication and have already started feeling so much better. So green this week has meant a lot of health and hope for me.
It has also meant Cleansing, as I am on a strict detox fast, so I am literally going GREEN this week!
:)
 |
| and detoxing does bring out the grouchies! |
 |
| I think I can... I think I can! |
 |
| if not, just go over it! |
 |
| but I also feel deliciously fresh |
 |
| my ripple blanket |
 |
| luscious |
 |
| if I could only grow two plants in my dream-garden it would be Ferns and Ivy |
 |
| how can one resist such a tin? |
 |
| hand-quilting, one of the biggest joys in my life |
 |
| Quilting greens |
 |
| Mami and me "Te quiero mucho, Mami" I was always fascinated by my mother's green eyes. As I child I used to love looking at the multicolour flecks in her eyes. So when I asked her what colour her eyes were she would reply: Cocktail! so you can imagine the thrill the day I found two flecks of green in my right eye! Brown eyes, with a twist! :) |
 |
| My little one has a fascination with nesting dolls |
 |
| oh, how I love my green tea... |
 |
| To infinity and beyond! |
 |
| washing up is just so therapeutic :) |
I also have tried to give back this week. I met 2 wonderful 2 quilters from Greece. Theodora is in Athens, and she introduced me to Kristine who is in Thessaloniki. Please, visit their blogs and get to know first hand what amazing women they are.
Kristine has a calling to make quilts for those that need them the most: orphans, destitutes, and victims of human trafficking. I was so moved by her work I was able to send a little quilt top with my Mother in law, who coincidently was traveling to Thessaloniki, Greece and met with Kristine.
 |
| Encouraged by Victoria's 15 minutes Play this little top came together using scraps. |
I have been working on attaching Klosjes this week and it is going really well. I hope to show you my progress on Saturday. I am still experiencing problems with my blog and hope this post uploads, after I have been struggling all day to get the pictures up. I really enjoyed all your emails since saturday, letting me know my comments form is not working. I hope it doesn't happen again in this post, if it gives you problems again, just blow me a kiss and
