Day 66/100: I made these earth buttons to celebrate the Earth, know more about the environment and promote conservation. Click here or click on the image below to check them out. Proceeds from the sale of these buttons will go to the postage fund of Dress A Girl Australia's dress distributions and education without borders projects perhaps later in the year and definitely in 2023.

86K for a Cure for Kids with cancer

 After days of non-stop rain since the 1st of March, I finally started logging my kilometres. I have now walked 11 kilometres over 86kms' commitment to walk this month of March to help find a cure for kids with cancer. If you want to help to raise funds for the Childrens Cancer Institute, please click on the image below to support my commitment to walk '86k for a Cure' this month of March or you can click here.

Day 3/100 : the100dayproject

 February 15, 2022 at 12:28AM 

Day 3/100 : 'what is a day like for a crafter'...for a few minutes and/or a few hours a day...and for the next 100 days (97 to be exact) ....as the possibilities are endless and limited only by one's imagination.

i enjoy making buttons so for today (Day 3/100 of the #the100dayproject) I made myself these '86K for a cure' buttons. I committed to walking 86km in March for the 86kids who are diagnosed with cancer each month. Any of these buttons pinned on the hat that I wear every morning when i go for a walk will remind me of the 86kids.

Sharing the Christmas Spirit with Handmade Cards this Christmas

Due to the pandemic, I had to temporarily put on hold any dress distributions but for this Christmas I made handmade cards. A few of the Christmas handmade cards are below which I remembered to take a picture - 61 of them which I dropped off this morning at NSW Meals on Wheels, Liverpool Branch. They will be distributed together with Meals on Wheels' remaining meals for distribution this Christmas.

My heartfelt thanks to MaryAnn Harris of the City of Liverpool Meals on Wheels for giving me the chance to share the Christmas spirit to those who need it the most this Christmas. Thank you.

Thank you to all who sponsored my challenge. Your support will help to continue Fred Hollows’ legacy to restore sight to people who are needlessly blind and continue the fight to end avoidable blindness. Thank you.

Since August 1st (less 2 days of not walking so I could clean my garden), I have completed 52.60kms out of the 150kms I have committed for the Fred Hollows' 150kms challenge to restore sight which runs until the end of August. I have raised $408.00 (my goal was only to raise $250) to continue Fred's legacy and able to restore sight up to 16 people. As usual, my feathered friends are keeping me company.

Support my challenge to restore sight!

 I'm taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT! 

My goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows. 

Because right now, 4 out of 5 people who are blind don't need to be...

For as little as $25, you can restore sight to someone who is blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support my challenge to give the gift of sight. Click on the image above or click here to make a donation.

Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, sponsor my challenge and let's honour his memory together.

Thank you for your support.

Happy Easter to everyone!
