.old treasure

My crafty projects has started years ago. In high school, me and Celly, my dearest neighbor, were selling frames that were made from recycled papers. Our friends loved it and there were no stocks left. Then we also created blank cards that could be used for any occasions. My little sister also loves craft. She took 'Membatik' as her extra-curricular activity when she was in high school. The next year she learnt Pergamano. Not to forget that my mom used to make dolls from scratch. I wonder how she did that. I think creative blood runs in my family.

Apparently my mom still keeps all the scraps and craft supplies that were long forgotten. Last week she brought that big box to my house and handed me down her sewing machine. I felt like a child opening her Christmas presents when I took out each item one by one from the box.
