Just noticed the new child board

Chris has obviously been along to put this on for us.  I will try and get some photos on as we may even attract some more sewing members. :)

I know Rita I am not doing well.  The craft is the easy bit by comparison to the photos.  I have just put this redwork lampshade out as I am doing the Christmas decorations as a start.  I hope we attract others to add their work.

I thought it was something to keep the flies off your wine...I know it's foolish but can I ass/u/me that it's called 'redwork' cos it's red?

It has a little nightlight - battery not flame - in the glass to make the "lamp".  I certainly couldn't get a photo showing that. :)

In that case it's very pretty. Something any little girl would want in her room.....Unless she was a City fan of course..

G49..slightly off subject but it may interest you.  I am making 'fiddle mitts' for people with dementia.  I have not mastered posting photos on our chromebook (despite patient instructions from CC) but if you think one might help your mother, it is easy to google and get a pattern.

There was a request from a Manchester hospital for volunteers to make some and my daughter put it on facebook for me.

That looks like a good idea Sheila.  I do get tactile things for her so I can imagine it being a pleasant distraction.

Sheila. Our local hospital has an appeal for them, though they call them twiddle muffs. Lovely people like you are knitting/crocheting away fiendishly to knock out 1,000 of 'em.

We watched a film called 'Still Alice' about an extremely intelligent lady who got dementia.  I did think that I might find it upsetting but it was well made so watched it all.  The actress was 'plucking' at her arm and my husband said that it made him realise why the mitts would help.  I am trying to use my imagination to securely fasten various bits and pieces onto the mitts to be fiddled with. 

I am a bit of a hoarder and keep trying to reform.  I offered all my surplus buttons and bits and pieces on our local streetlife and they were collected by a lady who does therapy classes.  I was happy with this but now regret it a bit as I could have used them on my mitts!

I volunteer in one (local children's hospice).  It is a constant temptation to buy!
