Textile art session

Residents continued knitting squares for a group textile artwork, which will combine fabric and stitch. And also we finished fabric collaged canvases, by adding paint, surprisingly in solid poster paint sticks….you draw with paint, no need for brushes and water. Betty and Paddy helped by supplying ideas for our poster projects. Joining in the session were Marjorie, Gerald, Flo, Pat, Rita, Lydia and Norah. Click on individual photos to enlarge..

French Epiphany Party!

 

Today Muriel inspired us with a French custom of honouring the visit of the three kings to see the baby Jesus.  Muriel, Maylin, Pat, Hilda, Lydia, Freda and Della made Galette des Rois.  This was a three layered flaky pastry with an almond filling.  It was really delicious and the residents enjoyed it at tea time.  After the cooking we enjoyed a singing and poetry session with hats to remind us of the three kings.

Pizza making!

Today Lydia, Pat, Edna, Marjorie and Hilda made delicious pizzas which we shared with everyone at tea time.

The group made the dough, stretching it over round tins.  They then spread the pizza bases with tomato puree and chose toppings from orange pepper pieces, chopped mushrooms, cheese, land cress leaves, winter savoury herb leaves, chopped garlic and olives.  Everyone was pleased with the results.
