Residents embrace the joy of crafting
Our regular crafting sessions at Haddington are a great way for residents, like Kath and Fay, to socialise with friends and share in a meaningful activity.
“I love coming together for our craft sessions. We do the usual knitting and crocheting which I love, but we also do beading, painting and other seasonal activities for things like St Patrick’s day, Easter and Christmas,” says Kath.
“It keeps me occupied and I always look forward to coming along. I especially enjoy crocheting hand towels and face cloths for family members.”
Fay agrees. “It’s nice to spend time together. I really enjoy the company and the conversations. Catching up on what’s been happening and sharing stories of our families – we have a good laugh. Our group of ladies keeps growing, so the staff moved tables together so we can all sit together.”
“While we mainly create things for our family, some of us enter our work in the craft section at the annual Tenterfield Show. In the last year, I’ve made four blankets which I’ve gifted to my family. It brings me so much joy seeing the smiles on their faces when they see what I’ve made for them”.
