Sunshine Linus ‘Activity Days’ always provide the
opportunity to come together to make items for the wider community and to
socialise in a much more relaxed environment. This month’s Activity Day saw 24
ladies meet together to learn some new skills and revive some old ones.
One group of ladies were busy cutting out children’s PJ
patterns ready to be sewn up. The catch this time around was inserting openings
in the sleeves so the PJ’s can be easily put on and pulled off. Once sewn up,
these PJ’s will be donated to the local hospitals.
Kaye showed another group of ladies how to make the card
holders that residents in the Aged Care Centres use when playing card games.
These quirky little gadgets assist the elderly to hold their playing cards. The
ladies in this group managed to complete 24 card holders during the course of
the morning!
The third group of ladies set about making crochet
flower puzzle balls under the careful instruction and guidance of Jenny. Again
these colourful and tactile balls will be donated to Aged Care Centres once
complete.
And did Thelma spend the morning drinking cups of tea and
chatting? Certainly not! Well, maybe a little bit. Of course she and Rosemary and
Sue spent the morning sorting all those boxes and cupboards no one gets time to
sort during the monthly meetings. Thank you for your dedication ladies!
We had one surprise visitor during the morning - Leanne from
Noosa dropped in to deliver boxes and bags full of the most delightful, knitted
items. She has been busy these past 12 months knitting up a storm! Thank you
Leanne, they are gorgeous and will be much appreciated as the weather cools
down!
See you at our next monthly meeting on Monday 29th April.
