Well done to the team of Cherub projects on creating such lovely beaded goods to sell. Two of the members of our support group got together and decided to get their kids working. Sandy does beading on clothes for a number of major fashion stores so it was only natural that Ryan (22 with cerebral palsy) and Storm (Glenda's daughter, 18 with Down's Syndrome) got involved and decided to make the most amazing beaded products. They also make very unusual gift boxes out of coke bottles by cutting them in a certain way and then decorating them using decoupage.
If anyone out there drinks a lot of coke, then please save your bottles and we will collect them from you. They must be the 2 litre plastic bottles and only coke - nothing else works.
On another note, the last 2 group meetings have been very interesting. Sorry for the delay in updates. In June we met at Sandy's house and Ian, father of a young man with cerebral palsy, gave us a very interesting talk on his experiences in the world of special needs children. We had an interesting debate on the merits of keeping your child at home with you vs putting them into a home. Basically the conclusion is that different things work for different people, depending on their circumstances. Lots more lively debates on a variety of topics.
July's meeting was at my house. We met a new member (hopefully) and ended up chatting till 1am, much to my husband's surprise when he arrived home out from an evening out expecting to find everyone gone and me asleep! It was a good meeting.
