I Had A Storm Trees Down I Made Ladybugs with Mortar Mix In Ga. 

Ms Helen I have to tell you how much you mean to me and what your videos do FOR me. I got up today feeling down and aching and I got on and found your video. It almost instantly made my day so much brighter. So please know how important you are to the world itself and how much you meant to me, and us, and the world. You never give up attitude and pushing on when you don’t feel like it is so inspirational. Honestly I just felt a little like giving up today and your video had a complete effect on me so much it was obviously you and not something else around me. So thank you and God bless you. It appears God works through you in many ways and the ladybugs are adorable! My son won’t let me do concrete projects but when I get back home I want to give it a try. Again thank you, Merry Christmas and God bless you and keep you safe.

All my life, I've heard the saying, "Taller than a Georgia pine!" Walking through the woods with you, I sure can see where that saying came from! God bless you.

I can relate to not remembering crochet steps .I too have made different things and not remember how to redo them without great concentration on not just crocheting but other arts and cooking as well. When you have your hand in many different projects and experiencing different talents that's the way it is life.... I Love YOU HELEN .I HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🎄

Everything looks delightful 😊 Thank you Helen for being you!! I

You are such a delight. A real enthusiastic person.

I live in Ky and our state did have some terrible storms.. they were about 20 miles from my area.. Lots of damage and loss of life. But neighbors and other towns around the state have come in and are helping .. And even the national news reporters have mentioned how their "faith" is getting people through.. They seem amazed.. But Southerners are people of faith.. and God is real and we know it.. even in the bad times!!

Ms Helen, you are such a wonderful storyteller. I was riveted to your telling about your childhood. No electricity, running water, making soap, you playing in the seeds and your sister with the purple spot on the back of her neck when she got mad and threw herself on the floor, that made me burst into laughter. I think you are the salt of the earth. You are the truth. You are genuine. You are terrific. xo c

Do love your ladybugs. They are special. And always like it when you tell about the time you where little . Stay safe Dear Helen. And see you in the next video

I LOVE the lantern. Miss Helen, watching your channel makes me happy... and homesick for Georgia.

I loved the walk in the woods and hearing the crunching leaves. The dead trees are wonderful for providing nutrients and cover for wildlife. As they go back to the Earth, they be good for the soil. Tornadoes are so scary as well as heavy winds. So glad you continue to be safe. I love hearing the chickadees in the background. Love the lady bugs too! Thank you for spreading Love, compassion & kindness. I'm hugging you in my thoughts!!!

I love watching you so much. You make me miss my Momma and both my Grandmothers. Just to listen to your voice and see your Art and all that you craft and make comforts me.

I did not know that you crocheted!! I love the Prayer Shawls! I learned to crochet when I was a little girl. I quit crocheting for many years as I grew up but now it is my favorite pass-time! Happy New Year, Miss Helen!

That is a pretty shawl! I used to do basic crochet stitches. I hope to relearn it after the holidays and after I retire the middle of January. Woohoo!

Glad to know that I am not the only one who forgot my stitches . I haven't crochet in over a year, and I seriously have forgotten . Thank you for sharing , so glad I found your channel .

I love your crochet. I crocheted a lot when I was young and unmarried and had time. I made my mom a tablecloth almost exactly like yours with a pineapple pattern once. Now that I am retired I should take it up again.

Oh how I love your sweet laughter and those happy lady bugs! ❤️🐞

Thank you SO much for blessing everyone...you are an angel on earth!!!🙏🙏🙏

My goodness so many trees! I remember a video last year or the year before when you and Cody were cutting up downed trees. This time you have twice as many or more! That’s a lot of work! I don’t know how you got the log out of the road! I admire your determination! Your project is so sweet! I think the lady bugs would make great Christmas gifts! Thank you for sharing your property. I so love taking those walks in the woods with you! Have a wonderful week. I pray that the Lord will send you some helpers. He sent you helpers when you moved the boulder to the rock garden. He knows you need help again now!

I love them shawls you made. You have more talent you know. We had strong winds up here in Wisconsin last week also. Did property damage to some. That wind was crazy. Well glad you are doing ok and no damage to your house. That’s a blessing Helen. Love seeing you again. You have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. Love you so much Hellen

As you made those cute lady bugs, your birds came in for a drink and seeds(sparrows and red cardinals i think). Shawls are beautiful. I wear everyday shawls to keep my shoulders warm. Bless you and thanks for sharing everything. Sad about your trees. Could someone use pine for firewood? It could be in trade for clearing up the dead fall. Just a thought. :)

Helen watching the replay. I just live the lady bugs. There are times when I am crafting that I also forget drinking my coffee and that's why I don't make a cup when I am crafting.

Your shawl is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the lovely story. When my sister was in hospice with cancer one of my best friends Gave me two/ One for my sister and one for me. They were such a blessing. I still have mine. My sister loved hers. You are a blessing Miss Helen.

Hi Miss Helen, your lady bugs turned out so cute! Enjoy your stories about days gone by!! May God continue to bless you❤

Love the prayer shaw ....ppl made one for my mom when she had her stroke and in a coma and all her brain surgeries they also did a blanket to for her we would cover her in it when she was in her coma... she survived doctors wanted to give up they said ppl don't survive these kind of strokes she is a miracle although my mom was never the same she lived 4 yrs after the strokes.. power of prayer is amazing and powerful

Ms Helen you do such beautiful work. I love learning from you. I grew up the first 9 years of my life with my mom cooking on a wood cook stove. From age 7 my mom starting teaching me to cook on that stove. We had an ice box. Once a week the ice man brought us ice. My dad, my brothers and his horses dug the well. About the age of 4 I sat in the grass and watched. We had a number 9 tub we took baths in, a kettle and a wash board to wash clothes. Sometimes he fingers would bleed. Mom made her own soaps. So thankful you are safe from the storms. Stay safe. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Love watching you and wishing u were my grandma!! I am deaf myself and I am from NC! Love your show so positive and creatives and I hope when I get to your age that i will be like YOU!! U are one of my inspirations. MY best friend loves watching and did some projects as well.

I was somewhere visiting recently in Albuquerque and they talked about how they lost a lot of trees in the camping areas/forests because of a type of bug. You may want to get Steven to look into that. Still loving all the videos you to make together and separately. Its a joy I always look forward too ✌🏼💜

At 86 yrs. Old... you're a remarkable, inspirational person ❤️ God bless you 🤠🙏🏽

Happy New Year Ms. Helen! So grateful for you and your wonderful spirit! You are so inspiring and I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year!

Great Job Ms. Helen ... i love your Videos. you are so kind and very calm.

I loved the green shaw. You have so many talents. Have a good sunny day.

I love your ladybugs. They are so cute...!! Miss Helen, my sister was so lazy and would pitch fits if she had to do anything around the house. She's a year younger than me and she is still that way. She never grew up and she still lives with my mama. Now my sister's 3 grown son's live with my mama too and their girlfriend's. They all take advantage of her. You are right, people are who they are, good or bad. God bless you Miss Helen. I love you and Merry Christmas. 🎅🤶🎄🎁🥰❤

Wonderful to see your smiling face. We can all come to your channel to be free of politics and enjoy your crafts and nature.

I Love your videos Helen and you. Your shawls are very nice. You did a good job. I’ve been crocheting for years. It’s just something I enjoy - so I enjoyed seeing your shawls. I enjoy all your projects and listening to you visiting with all of us. Love and hugs 💕 from Tennessee.

Your shawls are so beautiful !! You can do everything!!

Hey Ms.Helen! I keep your videos on tv a whole bunch bc You are a comfort and friend I need. I owe you so much,Really ❣

Helen, the ladybugs are so cute. I enjoyed hearing you talk about ‘old times’ and I remember every bit of it all! I believe we were happier then because if we did get anything, we appreciated it so much. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hi Helen, I'm so glad the tornados and storms spared you! I was wondering how close they may have come to you. Thank God you are OK. What a lot of work to clear up those fallen trees. I know you are so careful walking near them. I love the lady bugs and the shawls. I feel like you are one of my best friends and I love you and your videos. You really are the Queen of RU-vid.

You have a beautiful woods🥰 Maybe you can get Cody to bring over a chainsaw and get your walking paths cleaned up for you, cuz you surely don’t want to fall! I hope you had a blessed Christmas Miss Helen✝️ I think your ladybugs turned out cute, they will be pretty when the sun shines on those gems. I loved hearing you talk about the way things used to be. I think the simpler life was a better life. Please don’t be walking around in those woods until you can get someone to help you get it cleaned up, I don’t want you to fall and hurt yourself, well enough of that! Sending you love from Washington State ❤️Thanks for sharing the video. God Bless you!✝️🙏❤️

Hi Helen !... I just love your Lady Bugs !...they're just as cute as can be..and such an easy project...I could do them indoors !... Yes the weather has been showing us who's boss lately...I'm in Kentucky where towns were wiped out...not my town thank the good Lord... But the folks are banding together and taking aid to those affected...I can't tell you how many loaded trucks have gone to take the donations...clothes..foods..toys...everything you could imagine...the people in those towns are made of stern stuff... Well you and the Lady Bugs look right at home sitting in your woods... Have an excellent weekend Helen...I'll see you in the next video...👍💚...🌿🌿🌿

Yay! Helen, Queen of RU-vid is back with another long video!!!

Well, Helen, it looks like that storm took down all that dead wood for you. Now you need to get someone down there with a chain saw to cut that wood up. Maybe someone who burns wood in their home would like to go down and get that wood. My grandma had a scrub board that was used to wash laundry but by the time I was old enough to remember she had a ringer washer. I remember seeing her and my grandfather running clothing through that ringer to squeeze the water out. Then my grandmother would take all that wet laundry upstairs and out into the yard to spend what seemed like an hour hanging up all that wet laundry. I didn’t understand why they had that old contraption because my mother had a new fangled washer and dryer! No wringer! It was a few years before my grandfather finally broke down and bought a washer and dryer for grandma. I think that he only bought it because he wasn’t well anymore and couldn’t help grandma with the wash. My grandparents were born in the latter part of the 19th century. They were from a different kind of world. My mom was a late in life baby so my grandma was not around for as long as I would have wanted her to be. She knew how to cook and bake so well and never used a recipe. I still have her depression era cookbook that she never used. It has recipes for squirrel and rabbit which, I thank God, I hope I never have to use. She also loved gardening like I do. She knew how to sew and knit and all the rest that a good wife was expected to do in the 1800s. I remember her and my grandfather telling me that one of the things a prospective husband would check for was how well a young lady could make a pie crust! 😂 She made the best pies! Wish I had learned more from her. 🥲

Dear Miss Helen, thank-you for all your wonderful videos! Like your walk in your woods. Love your cute ladybugs!!!!.. MAY YOU AND ALL YOURS ALL HAVE A BLESSED, SAFE, AND FUN CHRISTMAS, ! with loving thoughts and prayers sent your way

It might be fun for you to put a salt block at the edge of your woods so you can watch the deer! Love your channel!

The lady bugs are so cute.... :) I used to make them from smooth oval stones... Your family will be coming for Christmas.. Maybe one of them has a chainsaw and can clear your path way in the woods so you won't break your neck stepping over the fallen trees... I am sure they are strong enough and could just drag them off to the sides.....Hint hint.. Danny, Steven and Cody... :) I still use my clothesline except in the winter....Clothes smell so much fresh... air dried... Loved watching you and listening to your stories

Always so nice to hear your sweet stories. My family and I just love to watch your videos. When the weather get too bad would you please do more of your cooking videos, we have fun trying to cook them ourselves. Thank You and God Bless

I have not visited a videof yours in awhile. Life has been crazy for me. You are still sweet and kind as always. I love ❤️ you.

Holiday blessings Helen! We love your happy lady bugs! I hope you'll have a good Christmas with friends and family- good food and lots of laughter. There might be some people with chain saws in your church who'd like some firewood and would cut and haul off some of the old fallen-down trees. Anyone who receives one of your beautiful prayer shawls is sure to feel the love crocheted within. We love you!!

Dear Helen I loved watching you doing your lady birds so sweet, I would love to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and Happy New year and all your RU-vid friends, Merry Christmas God bless you love from Diane from England 🇬🇧, p.s I hope you get your gift 🎁 from me.

you did great I would have fo look at a picture of one before painting! Have a blessed Christmas and a joyous happy and healthy New Year!!!!

I love hearing about when you were young. I also enjoy your walks in the woods. Your ladybugs 🐞 are so cute.

That shawl looks great on you.

I love your crocheted shawls So beautiful I crochet Thanks so much for sharing Hugs Pat from New Jersey

Good morning Ms Helen. Thanks for the cup of coffee. Have a blessed day.

I am happy to see that you’re continuing to make nice craft videos

Those shaws are beautiful

you are very precious lady..Thank for sharing all these ....🥀🍃❄️🌼🌻

You are an awesome lady !

Thank you Helen! I'm going to make your ladybugs with my granddaughter. She will love them! You're so sweet.

Hello Helen! Thank you for the coffee.😘 What beautiful shawls!😍 Just a suggestion Helen, perhaps if you advertise free wood in your local shopping area for those willing to cut and collect it might help to clear your woods of the fallen trees. So many people have wood burners these days, or fire pits. ☺️ I do love ladybugs! I’ve painted stones and golf balls glued to tees for pot and garden ornaments. Yours turned out beautifully. 😍 Thank you and God Bless. X

Adorable ladybugs Helen🐞 At least you have plenty of wood at your ready if there's ever a power outage so you could cook outdoors♨️. It only got up to 16 degrees here in MN today. Had to do some snow-throwing too. Glad you're still having good weather!

Good Evening Mrs Helen ! You completed another beautiful project 🐞! I think the home made soap was made with Lye .water &fat ! I can relate to all your back stories and love hearing about them.It’s a blessing we come this far from what it use to be 🙏🏼 . Thanks for posting another great video! Have a wonderful weekend 🙏🏼❤️🌻🌻🌻!

HELEN , THE LORD HAS YOU OUT HERE TO BLESS OTHER PEOPLE LIVES!! LIKE YOU SAID , WE MUST BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER PLEASEING TO OUR LORD!! WE NEED IT MORE THAN EVER, IN THIS TROUBLED WORLD!! 😍❤👏👍🙏🙏

I still hang my clothes outside to dry. It smells better ❤️

Darling mug so appropro!! Where did you find the coffee covers? Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤ and happy new year 🎉 ✨ 💖 Those shawls are gorgeous!! The colors are wonderful. My mother was given a pray shawl but it disappeared after she passed! That broke my heart. It was so very special. Glad you were spared from the storm . God is good!!

HELLO HELEN GLAD THOSE TREES WEREN'T NEAR YOUR HOUSE,,,OMG,,,HUGE TALL TREES LOVE THE LADY BUGS,,, BEAUTIFUL AREA TO WALK IN,,,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 GOD BLESS JOANNE FROM WASHINGTON

Pozdrawiam Królową You Tuba 😁😘💖💖 Jak zawsze cudne pomysły, fajne biedronki i śliczne chusty szydełkowe 😍 Happy New Year, Helen 😘💖💝

Love your shawls. I m like you , I crocheted in the past and now you make me want to again😊

I can relate, Helen, worked in a woolen mill on high-speed corners, my ears ring constantly, we weren't required to wear earplugs, didn't know about, weren't told about damage back in the day 12:40 and I also look at people's mouths to see what they are saying, but, with these mandatory masks requirements, it's an obstacle to us with hearing loss. Don't know when you recorded this video, but, we are now having your windstorm, here in Maine, on the 17th, I can count 4 trees down, just looking out one window. They aren't all the way down because other trees are in the way. But, it's unusually warm, tomorrow back in the high 20s

Thank you Ms. Helen for another great video. You always make my day when I watch! Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing stories about your childhood with us. I love hearing all your stories about growing up in the country. I also grew up in the country but there were people around me. God Bless you and your family and sweet baby Charlotte!------------------------Tressa Daigle from Louisiana

Looks good god bless you ann white

Ms Helen your lady bugs are so cute! 🐞 Thank you so much I’m going to try and make some of these. I painted my hubby’s old bowling ball to look like a lady bug and it needs some friends around it🤗🐞🐞🐞
