Dresses for Dress A Girl Australia

Aside from making handmade treasures to sell, Soft Treasures has also been busy making dresses for Dress A Girl Around the World, Dress A Girl Australia. Imagine a world where every little girl owns at least one dress and what if that dress were made by you.

If you love crafting and would like to use your crafting skills helping little girls own at least one dress, join in the fun and enjoy making dresses. Click here to know more about this self-funded charity work of mine.

Poor old Mexican Jar with my created big tassles

This is my poor old mexican jar stationed in one of the corners near my kitchen area. I use the jar to hang or decorate the big tassles which I made about 4 years ago when I found some unused strings/ropes lying around in my kitchen cupboard. Dont know why I had them so I decided to make use of them. Made the tassles and until now still at a loss as to where to use them as I dont have curtains in the house. So for now it will have to be the old mexican jar that will have to be decorated with all the large tassles.

Children from Around the World Paper Tole Project

This is one of the paper tole projects I worked on years ago(must have been 10 years ago) and one of my favourites thus hanging in my family room which also serves as my studio. Ever since I hanged it on the wall, because I dont use nails to hang my wallhangings instead I use 3M adhesives, it has dropped to the floor about 5 or 6 times already sometimes in the middle of the night. Today the adhesive gave way again and this time one of the borders inside the frame has been detached (blue item right in the middle of the image.) Well, at least the glass cover did not get broken.

My 15-year old Quilt

Was looking for something this morning and what I found was the very first quilt I ever made. Cant believe that this purely handmade quilt (including the quotes on each block) is 15 years old. I did not own a sewing machine at that time. Every handmade item I did was by hand. If I needed a sewing machine I usually borrow my Mom's. It was only in year 2000 that I finally decided to buy my first sewing machine.

Each block I embroidered the messages 'Be Happy', 'You Are Loved', 'Be Strong', 'Dream', 'God Bless', 'Imagine', 'Believe', 'You are Precious' and 'Be Yourself'. Too bad the picture is not so clear on those messages.

My Fabric Nativity Set

...it took me 322 days (in between facebooking, farming, working, googleing, walking, eating, blogging, holidaying....) to make this nativity set from a fabric panel I bought in 2009 and finally made it stand on top of my wooden chest last Christmas...and now ready to be stored in a box for the next 350 days. Well, at least I had fun ! :-)
