@JenD congratulations on your craft project. Busy hands are great to slow the mind down while waiting for appointments etc. Can wait to see the finished projects. I do scrapbooking and I have done a bit during and after treatment. It gives me a lot of joy.
@cranky_granny I am sure you will love your time with CWA and get to finish your projects.
@iserbrown and @"Annie C" I think schools should bring back sewing / cooking for all students. There are a lot of kids / young adults that are unable to cook or do basic sewing. In my year 7 class we had to sew our school uniform winter skirt. Our local alterations shop charges $25.00 to take up the hem on a pair of pants / jeans. I have a daughter who is a little short and she is having some sewing lessons and one thing she is learning to take up the hem on a pair of pants. She said this was a bit boring. She changed her mind when I said the other options was for her to pay for the alterations of her pants herself.
