I'm crocheting everyday in November for Dementia UK
This November, I'm taking on the Dementia UK November crochet Challenge by hooking every day and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. As I tend to find time each day to crochet, my version of this challenge is as follows:
1. Not to start a new project, but to finish one of the many unfinished ones currently languishing in boxes.
2. To resist temptation and not to buy new balls of wool to add to the stash but only get new balls if the unfinished project requires it.
3. Use up stash as much as possible.
Earlier on this year, my father was diagnosed with vascular dementia, which has affected his balance. He has very limited mobility, and is limited to a wheelchair. Mum is now his carer and I visit and help out where and when I can.
Dementia affects millions of people, changing lives in ways that can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. That's why I'm supporting Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity. Their Admiral Nurses provide expert advice, practical support and compassionate guidance to families when they need it most.
Just £33 could fund a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour supporting a family, helping them understand their options, cope with difficult situations and feel less alone.
Thank you for helping me make a difference this November. Your support means so much. 💙

Keep going Tee. I have a cross stitch project sat on my coffee table that has been 30 years in the making. I know how easy it is to succumb to new temptations and I admire your commitment to finishing old projects.
