So - after a very hectic weekend you would think that a long lie in was in order. Sadly Katie had a different view and woke me up at 6:15am!!! Obviously I went back to bed and dosed - but its not the same. The house looks like a bomb has hit it - bags and newspapers just dropped where I was - so it is taking some time to get straight this morning - particularly as I wanted the project purchases to end up with the right projects - so that they don't get lost. Throw in the need to print off some materials for the craft group and I somehow didn't even quite meet myself coming backwards!
The craft group made fabric wreaths - a nice simple exercise which allows for plenty of friendly banter amidst the coffee and mince pies / coffee cake (thank you Pat). It's sessions like these which really does feed your soul and, as I have said before, I love seeing the feeling of pride as they see their project coming to fruition. The completed wreaths are being loaned to the church in the next village for their display of wreaths at the weekend.
Tonight Wendy and I are going shopping before taking a goodie hamper to the Ward that looked after our friend Tanya for several months. She would have wanted to say thank you and we want to talk to them to see if they need any further assistance - bags to carry equipment in etc. There are plenty of people on facebook that make things for hospital wards - but no one seems to do anything for Grimsby. Let's see if we can do that in Tanya's name. Meanwhile I had a couple of new mugs, some drinking chocolate and some mini marshmallows - its amazing what a piece of fabric from IKEA can do to brighten up a present!
What a lovely idea to do something for the hospital in memory of Tanya.
ReplyDeleteFrom past experience those wreaths are great fun to make!
Loving the beautifully wrapped pressies :)
Another productive day then?
ReplyDeleteCan't you put something in Katie's food tonight?
