    At the moment, I myself I’m addicted to knitting. Without this I can would not have seen myself coping through this isolation period xx

    What sort of things do you knit @Disability_Diva? I'm glad you've found something to help you through isolation.

    This group is amazing!  So much talent!  My craft is needle felting mostly, but I also make wands and headdresses.  Just wanted to say I'm so glad I found this group - it's made me smile after a difficult week of being really poorly with COVID-19 symptoms 
    Really glad you found us @LittleME! What things do you felt? I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago... here was the end result!

    A small felted grey rabbit. It has a cream circle on it's tummy, paws and ears. Small black beads are the eyes.

    Not sure I and doing this message in the right place, so bear with me!! I make twiddle / anxiety mats and sleeves and have been asked to make on for a girl with cerebral palsy. We haven't been able to meet, and I don't know anything about the condition. Her mother says she doesn't have fine motor skills, so no buttons or zips, does anyone have advice or experience, or recommendations for where I could look? I think I have attached a photo... thanks very much!

    No ideas to guide you, but I love the idea, how much do you charge?

    Thank you! I usually sell them through a local disability charity, who take a share for fundraising. They charge £15 and I get £10, but the  charity's shop is closed at the moment of course. If you would like one, I guess I would say to pay me and donate to a charity of your choice, does that sound fair?! I don't really know! And to be clear, I am a hobbyist not a professional!!

    I was thinking about other members, I chisel a clock, or build a guitar!

    Yours is probably making them!

    that sounds a very fair price though.

    Hi @9Austin, glad you like them, i haven't done any in a few years now, when the kids were growing up i did a few different ones from Simpsons to Winnie the pooh, don't have any pics of those sadly, i did enjoy it

    Simpsons! Family favourites!!  I guess they're pretty big  so maybe something smaller?!
