99 YEAR OLD SEAMSTRESS

Photo: 99-year-old Lillian Weber makes a dress for a small child in Africa every single day!

In the past two years, Lillian has made more than 840 dresses and she plans to make 150 by next May. The reason for this date is that Lillian wants to make her 1,000th dress on her 100th birthday which is at the beginning of May!

Lillian says she starts work on a dress in the morning, takes a break during the midday, and puts the finishing touches to it in the afternoon. She loves making the dresses even though she knows she will never see a little girl wear one.

"I could probably make two a day, but I enjoy just doing the one. It's just one of those things I guess. I learnt how to do it and then I thought why not put it to good use?!"

This lady makes a dress a day and donates it  to a charity in Africa. She's pretty amazing and her goal
 is to make 1,000 dresses by the time she turns 100! See her story on AGE UK's facebook  page.  Her name is Lillian Weber!

 I have been meaning to share this sentence from an obituary I recently read...

From my local paper: The Victoria Times Colonist

Hazel was well  known for her wit, sense of humour, positive outlook, twinkling eyes and her amazing appetite: "eating is my favorite indoor sport."  She will live on through her "Hazelisms"

Dear readers of my blog, if you see something in an obituary that you want to share here with others, please get in touch with me at my email:  makingdyingfun@gmail.com
