Craft therapy

In response to Bee. These are not in the same league as Rimmy but keeps me sane and we give them to people suffering from dementia as they often have fidgety hands so attach buttons etc they can fiddle with and the muffs also keep them warm. Hugs Val.xx

Several people had these in the home my mother was in. They became very attached to them and held them as a child would a teddy so yet another use for them! Well done for making them I know how much they are appreciated

[Sorop in reply to scats]

Thank you scats that is so good no know. Val x

I love this idea! I bagged up needles, wool and a pattern for a simple scarf for an upcoming craft session with the young mums I work with. This idea may be pinched! X

[Sorop in reply to Pongo13]

Thank you Pongo pinch away! They are good for using up odd leftover wool, buttons, ribbons etc. Val x

Google 'Twiddle Muffs' and you'll find lots of links with ideas and patterns.

These are so lovely, imbued with the love that went into them.

[Hidden]

OH WOW!!!!!! These are sooooo cool too!!!!!! There are some very clever people out there!!!!

[Grants148]

The members of my local WI make these twiddle muffs,we also knit tiny hats and little matinee coats for premature babies at the local hospital.

[Daisychain12 in reply to Grants148]

That’s just adorable and I can imagine how happy those hand made items make people xxxx

[Sorop in reply to Grants148]

That's great Grants . So many people out there doing such a lot to make other peoples lives better. We hear so much bad news but good to hear the good things that are quietly going on. Well done. Valx

[Daisychain12]

Oh wow what a wonderful idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am going to pass this on to see if our volunteer group can use the idea xxxxx.

What a wonderful idea. My mum in law had Alzheimer's and I remember her having fidgety hands. We would give her a tea towel to roll and fold on her lap. These would have been so much better. 😃😃

[Sorop in reply to York54]

That must have been so distressing for you. Hugs Val x

[Rimmy]

Another great idea and so thoughtful !!

[Sorop in reply to Rimmy]

Thank you Rimmy this has highlighted how many amazing things are being created by so many people. It also takes our minds off our own problems. Hope you have taken your creation out of the draw now it needs to be seen! Val x

My friend makes doll size outfits for prem babies to be buried in. So sad but the appreciation she gets gives her strength to keep going

[Sorop in reply to Angiejnz]

Oh my goodness that is incredible. She must be a very special person to do that. I would be knitting with tears running down my face it is so sad. It puts things into perspective too when I feel sorry for myself. Val x
