Shoes.............

The same day..........

........ that Auntie Colleen was enjoying her chocolate treats............

........... the three girls went shopping while Poppa ran some errands. Auntie Cecile was especially drawn to the shoe department....

........ she tried on two pairs - at the same time, as you can see.  She decided the metallic shoe had heels that wee too high for comfortable strolling - but she did buy the blue pair - with the zipper up the back.  They really suited her!  At home....

.... I have been working on Twiddle Muffs.  These are items designed to soothe people with dementia, who have restless hands, but not much ability to concentrate.  The oblong is knitted, then several things are attached, designed to stimulate using texture and shape.  Then it is folded in half...........

........ so that this becomes the outside, then folded and sewn again..so that....

..... this becomes the inside and thus forms a muff.  This one was for Aunt Grumpy to take to her workplace - and she was up for the weekend - so I sewed it up quickly and gave it to her to take back with her - thus, I didn't get a picture of the finished object - but not to worry - I've made a couple more and will post photos soon!
