How does craft make you feel?

Who’s The Crafty Lass? Oh yes, I remember now – that’s ME.
The Crafty Lass… who’s that? Who is she? Oh yes, I remember now – that’s ME. I had almost forgotten. I was asked in a consultant doctor’s appointment the other day what my job was – seeing as we had only just met and he needed to establish my general day to day ‘activity levels’
Feel the Fear…
The Crafty Lass currently features in the BOOTS Health and Beauty magazine for January/February 2019 – in an article all about conquering our fears.

Twiddlemuffs. No, we hadn’t heard of them either… They sound funny… however, they are actually very important for Dementia sufferers.
