Ended up being my Chookshed # 8 challenge. As mentioned in my post at the beginning of the month fiddle muffs were a mystery to me but after some research 11 were made and handed over to our Sales Manager for distribution to dementia patients in various nursing homes. There is just as many objects inside the muffs as on the outside.

Back in April I gave myself a three day "sewcation" with the view of having another one soon however the year has just skidded by and somehow it did not happen until the other day when my Tuesday afternoon quilt group was cancelled so I saw this as the opportunity to turn it into a mini sewcation for a day and as there were no pressing matters that needed to be attended to on the Wednesday morning it turned out to be a day and half of uninterrupted sewing. This is what was achieved
Two small quilts bound

Miss M stayed with hubs and I for the last week of the school holidays and for the most part the weather was good which allowed us to visit the beach. Miss M braved the water while I on sat on the warm sand keeping guard. As you can see by the flags it was breezy.

At the time of compiling my list last year I put challenge #8 as a "mystery item" which did indeed turn out to be a mystery for me. I was approached by the sales manager where we live and asked if I would be interested in making some fiddle muffs for dementia patients in a couple of the local nursing homes. Fidget mats I had heard of but not fiddle muffs so after some research ideas were found and I said yes to her request. Collecting suitable fabrics together with bit and bobs was all that I managed to do when joining in with FNwF.

What started out as a hazard reduction burn on Saturday quickly got out of control and was declared an emergency. This is the view from my balcony and as you can see it was close
Once the water helicopters were brought in things started getting under control not long after. As you can see blue sky is starting to appear.
