Finger knitting is a really good way of getting children interested in wool crafts, and it is very easy to learn. It also helps to improve a child’s dexterity and ability to concentrate. HANDMADE POCKET BUDDY Handmade Pocket Buddy. At this event we showed participants how to make a pocket buddy - super handmade mini companions. Click on the image above, for a recording of the live event showing how to make a pocket buddy. After this event we launched our Craft Kits with everything you need to make your own buddy. A NOTE TO THE NEW YEAR One of the ways of improving your sense of wellbeing, very quickly, is to re-frame your thinking from "what did not go well" to "what did go well". In other words, to focus on some positives. WINDCHIMES FROM WASTE Windchimes from Waste. This week in our Zoom workshop we showed participants how to make simple but effective tinkly wind chimes by upcycling bottle tops, keys, beads and many other materials and objects you'll have to hand. We used a tin can, bottle tops, beads and buttons with strong thread. A drawing pin was used to make the holesby tapping
SNIPPET ROLLS
What a relaxing couple of weeks we have had making these little snippet rolls! Lynda, one of our volunteers, suggested them a few weeks ago at our planning session, and I went home to set up a Pinterest board for snipper rolls. Lynda's sewingFELTING JUMPERS
Machine felting. To get the jumpers to felt, they need to be washed at the hottest temperature as possible. They don’t always felt on the first wash and often the process of agitation is needed to get the jumpers to felt. This can be achieved by rubbing the jumpers together by lessening the load and the quantity of water in the machine or by RAG RUGS: AMISH KNOT RUGS They rarely waste anything, and recycling is an integral part of daily life. When clothes can no longer be worn or passed down, the Amish will cut them into strips to make quilts or rag rugs. Knot rugs, as well as braided rugs, are well established crafts within the Amish communities. You might hear knot rugs referred to as ' toothbrush rugs'.

Christmas dinner was almost entirely made from scratch with at least 90% of the ingredients where organic. THE BIG DRAW :: THE BIGGEST CROCHET SCULPTURE IN THE WORLD. We had a massive source of inspiration in front of us, in the form of the biggest single handed crochet sculputure in the world -the 3 lions that made up the Lionheart Project which currently reside in the museum. I have done lots of work that complements this project, and I was really pleased to be asked to run these workshops. IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH WOOL Its amazing what you can create with a piece of card and loads of wool. I managed to recreate a memory I had, from a recent holiday with the children and whilst doing it I remembered the feeling I had, when I saw the sunset over the sea.LITTLE BIRD SOS

FRIDAY, 6 MARCH 2020PAPER FLOWER MAKING
To welcome the spring, we've been making paper flowers at our Revive arts for health workshops. They're very easy to make but very effective. We have kept some for ourselves to to give to others and some have been left in our local community coffee shop with a 'Take me, i'm yours' label attached.  We happened to have had lots of colourful papers donated to us but you could easily paint over newspaper and use this to make the flowers like these ones we made: We used a few different tutorials to help us with our paper flower but this was our most favoured: Find out how to make these paper flowersby Tinklo
We found these DIY Paper Flowers, by Trendyss,
really simple but effective too. And these Paper Hyacinth Flowers, by One Little
Project, rather cute. Making paper flowers may not necessarily cost you much in materials. We love this Paper Rose Flower Tutorial,
by Smile Mercantile, made from old book pages. Posted by Lisa Pidgeonat 12:58

Paper Rose Flower Tutorial FRIDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 2019 SUFFOLK PUFF POPPY BROOCH :: DOWNLOADABLE TUTORIAL We make so many beautiful things within our community groups with many of our members and supporters contributing ideas, materials and expertise. We are happy for you to make items for personal use but we would prefer that you do not use our resources or items made from our resources for profit making purposes :: Thank you! This tutorial shows you how to make a suffolk puff style poppy brooch. From the free template you can make a red poppy for rememberance or a white poppy for peace. You will need the following: * Pattern for the poppy Suffolk_Puff_Poppy_Instructions.pdf * Sew on brooch pin or safety pin * Red or white fabric and green felt* Button
* Needle and thread
* Scissors
* Pins
* Glue (optional)
Cut out the round, main poppy flower and leaf pattern from the 'Suffolk Puff Poppy Instruction' pdf link above: Pin out then cut the poppy top and bottom using the red or white fabric, and the leaf using the green felt: Thread the needle with black thread. Tie a knot at the end of the thread. Use a running stitch, as illustrated in the picture, around the outer edge of the fabric circle: When you have completed the full circle of stitched, start to pull your threads so that the fabric turns inwards as illustrated: Keep pulling until it is tightly bunched in the middle. Knot by making an additional stitch threading the needle through the loop made by the extra stitch: Using the same thread, stitch on a button over the bunched up middle section. Next, push the needle through the button hole so that the needle and thread are at the back: Now stitch the green leaf to the back. Traditionally the leaf should be stitched in the 11 o'clock position. This is in the 1 o'clock on the back. Finally, stitch on the brooch pin. If you would like, you can glue a piece of felt over the stitches to neaten the back: Congratulations, you have completed your traditional poppy. The poppy should be worn on left hand side with the leaf pointing to yourheart:
If you are making these for the Poppy Appeal, please consider making a donation to the RoyalBritish Legion(for
red poppies) and Peace Pledge Union  (for white poppies) in support of remembrance and peace. To give is one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing.

Little Bird SOS are again really pleased to have been chosen by 15 young people undertaking the National Citizenship Service (NCS) in Leicester as their social action project. NCS provides the opportunity for young people to build skills for work and life by taking on new challenges and making new friends. There are three phases to their NCS experience including adventure, an outdoor residential experience, followed by skills phase then the final phase, called 'Make a Difference' where the groups go out into the local community to support a good cause and make theirmark.
They will be planning lots of fundraising events this week to support the work we do, as well as raising awareness of our organisation and the impact this has on the lives of those we support. Below are a few words from Shauna who, in her own words, explains their reason for choosing us for their 'Make a Difference' social action phase and their excellent awareness raising campaign they have launched as part of their work. "WE HAVE CHOSEN LITTLE BIRD SOS BEAUSE ALL OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS ARE VERY WELL KNOWN. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE MENTAL ILL HEALTH AND NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GET HELP TO GET AWAY FROM IT.

TUESDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2017 WE NEED TO DRINK MORE WINE! Even though it’s a beautiful day I really struggled to get out of bed this morning, I’m just feeling so tired and my bed was so cosy....... As a result I was late, thankfully I didn’t do the usual self flagellation and sorted myself out and turned up, bringing my breakfast with me. I’m trying so hard to talk positively to myself, it’s a complete challenge. Again, Lisa came up with a little corker to make things out of wine corks. The basic idea of slicing the corks meant that you could let your imagination go wild and create to your heart’s content.Coasters

Thankfully Lindsey and Lisa have taken some photos, because it’s difficult to express the emotion of what we’ve produced with words, because it’s the journey of creating that we get so much healing from, rather than the finished product._DANAE_

THURSDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2017PROJECT LEGACIES
Have you ever had one of those moments when something happens and you feel it was meant to be? Earlier this week, I was in a meeting and was asked if I had ever reviewed the projects I have worked on over the past few years? I thought it would be a good idea to go back and review these lagacies. and started to think about how to go aboutthis.
That very same day I bumped into Jo and Jenny, who I worked with on the Knitting Communities Togther Project, in poundland and they told me all about a wonderful initiative they had worked on last year, making knitted poppies and selling them to raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. In total they raised £497.92 in donations from their knitted poppies - something that kind of blew mymind.
This wreath is so loved that it will be kept inside and only bought out, for the remembrance room, once a year! I was absolutely thrilled to hear that the Knitting Communties Together project was very much alive, still connecting adults with learning disabilities with the local community. It's so amazing that all those little stitches, my grandma and mum taught me, have been passed on to others and that they are doing so much good in my localcommunity.
I felt, somehow this chance encounter was telling me to keep going and keep flying the flag for arts for health and wellbeing. Something is definately telling me that it is worth all the hard work. I will keep on keeping on - Lisa Knitting Communities Together - evaluation report, in case you want tofind out more:

British Legion Poppy Appeal FRUSTRATION AND ELATION I came to Little Bird SOS with a bit of a cloudy head and my thoughts just longing to be back in bed, but knowing how much I enjoy this place, I dragged myself along. So, t-bag folding, I found it to be quite therapeutic, with the precise folds and systematic gluing that was required but others found it frustrating bringing back memories of schooldays and less than patient school teachers! I think a massive congratulations should be given to all of us because everyone created something beautiful and all went away calm, withLisa's help.
For all of you continuing t-bagging at home, I hope you have loads of fun and for those of you who didn't find it your cuppa tea, you can cross that off the list and look forward to another week when we will be trying some new xxxx_DANAE_

ABOUT ME
* Lisa Pidgeon
Leicester,
United Kingdom
My aims are to positively engage with people, both adults and children, and provide life enrichment, education, socialisation, creative distraction and personal growth. A further aim is to disseminate positive ideas about recycling, re-using and eco friendly arts and craft, which will reinforce a feeling in the learner of 'doing something positive and useful' by reducing their own environmental impact. Within this blog you will find tutorials many of them have an eco theme, encouraging you to think about using materials from a sustainable source where possible. As an ex-nurse I am a big supporter of using arts and crafts to enhance health and wellbeing. View my complete profileBLOG ARCHIVE
