Button workshop day

I managed to get everything into my shopping trolley to take them to the hall where the dementia cafe meets. I was there early so that I could refill the party Susan’s in readiness. Then help greet people and take sandwiches round as they have lunch before an activity or entertainment.
About seventeen people in total and to say it was chaotic would not be an understatement. They were too busy chatting to listen to any instructions so I had to explain table by table. The glue bottles had a lid that unscrewed a bit to release the glue but not removed. Some people took the tops off so it was a bit of a sticky mess. Have if said all that most people had a go and there were some nice results.
I emptied all the trays of beads into a box, so when I have a few spare hours I will sort them all into colours again.
I have felt weary since I got home so not much else to say. 
Tina has her day off on Friday this week, so I am having my visit day tomorrow, the we can have lunch out of Friday after she has been to the dentist.’

  1. I’m really pleased it all went off ok. Maybe a bit more glue spread around with the tops off, and I’m sure some found buttons stuck to their arms when they go home 😊 But judging by the pics there were some really good efforts. The owl was a good choice to add in a it looks like a few people picked it. In fact the ones you’ve uploaded are really good. I particularly like the one in the fifth pic.
    Fancy throwing all the buttons into a box, you’ll look forward to sorting them out again 😂
    All in all a good class I’d say. I think you’re entitled to relax this evening now 🙂

  2. Yes, I think it was worth the effort as they chatted while they worked and some helped each other.
    I will get the buttons sorted back at some point, there must more that 2000 now!
    If they want a craft session next year I will try to avoid glue and definitely avoid buttons!
