Projects

       

I like to have small projects to work on throughout the week. They help give me direction in my unorganized days, especially when Justin is traveling for work. Our stake had a Relief Society Service day a couple of weeks ago, and this was one of the projects we did for it. It is an apron made especially for Alzheimer patients. One of the only senses they can still use is that of touch. This apron has a variety of textures and fidget items to help them soothe and entertain themselves. The aprons needed to be made before the activity and then the items were sewn on that day. It was a fun project to once again work on my sewing skills. I am excited for those who get to use them.

One of my jobs while in college was cleaning at an assisted living facility. They had a couple of Alzheimer units. I know that these would have been very beneficial for those residence. I am grateful I had the opportunity to do a small act of service for those who suffer from this disease. 

We also made pillowcases for cancer patients, tied quilts, collected food items for the local food pantry and tied fleece banquets. It was a fun, fulfilling day.
