Kiri Cottage with Ciara and Joanne

Great fun today with two lovely ladies, Ciara and Joanne. They came for a therapeutic, social, craft day, and both learned to spin. And we developed knitting skills in the afternoon, mastering plain, purl and rib.

Final Session with Portavogie Seniors

Kiri Cottage Crafts Portavogie Seniors 2023 11 24 5

I ran my final craft session of the year with the Portavogie Seniors Club this week. We made some simple ribbon Christmas wreaths.

It never ceases to amaze me how many creative people there are, and how everyone sees a project in a different way. I provided an example (one I made earlier…), and a box full of material strips, ribbons, charms and wooden Christmas decorations on each table, and off everyone went to create their own wreath.

I’d say this was a very successful session and I wish all of the seniors a very Merry Christmas!

Ballywalter Seniors Craft Session 4

The very creative ladies and gentleman of Ballywalter Seniors Club made a herd of alpacas at their meeting last Monday.

Armed with felt, beads, ribbon and a rainbow of embroidery threads, they stitched their way through the session, most not even stopping to have their tea and sandwiches (well, until the pineapple delights arrived…).

Great, enthusiastic bunch – thank you all for an entertaining afternoon!
