 Christmas is just around the corner and in the spirit of Christmas I donated the following christmas handmade items and several christmas fabrics to the Make-it Christmas project for Lismore.

1) Handmade christmas ornaments such as fabric christmas trees, christmas hearts, christmas houses, christmas stars, christmas cubes -

2) Christmas fabrics -
Maybe christmas will mean a little bit more with these non-bought-from-store Christmas Handmades for the people of Lismore.

Dress Distribution #123 - To an Orphanage in the Philippines

 Finally, today, a parcel has been sent to an orphanage(Calabrian Foundation Home for Girls, Cagayan de Oro City) in the Philippines. A few of the handmade dresses were donated in late 2019 which did not make it to the 2019 Christmas distribution and a donation made in the early 2020. The rest of the items are donations from Dress A Girl Australia which were not distributed due to the pandemic.

This is the parcel that was sent -

and these are the contents of the parcel -

  • 29x handmade boys shorts
  • 29 handmade boys t-shirts
  • 3x handmade girls t-shirts  
  • 10x handmade dresses
  • 18 girls undies and 22 boys undies
  • 17 sets of handmade t-shirts/boys short/undies
  • 6 pairs of girls socks
  • 3 children's puzzles
  • 2 backpacks
  • 3 handmade totes
  • 1 lunchbox

It is not easy to make dress distributions these days due to financial constraints and difficulty finding people to make distributions on my behalf so this parcel sent today is a big win in my desire to make a difference. Thank you to all who helped facilitate this distribution. Your contribution is very much appreciated. 

For any future distributions, updates will be posted here in my blog and/or facebook page.  Thank you.
