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 ! :-)
