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 ! :-)

10,000 Steps A Day

10,000 steps a day program at work is now on its fifth week and I think am starting to reap its benefits. I now have lost about 3 kilos just by walking at least 10,000 steps a day. The program will be going on for the next 2 months and am looking forward to knowing how many kilos I would shed just from walking.
