[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Hi Renae, that sounds like a "Stinking Fun" day that you participated in.

We as in Terry and I say a little prayer for Eve every day during Grace
before our meals. (May she and all of our pets be they guides or just pets
and all of our human persons Rest In Eternal Peace.)

Happy birthday, Igloo!  My retired Seeing Eye dog, Eve, died unexpectedly  a
couple of weeks ago and it has been a pretty rough time.

 

My Super Saturday consisted of going to a Young Entrepreneurs  craft show.
This was kids creating and selling their crafts.  The youngest participant
was 6 and the oldest was 21.  There was usual kids stuff, like body glitter
and slime, but there was one middle school girl that I was so impressed
with.

 

She is 8th grade and she alters wedding dresses,, suits, and many other
items.  She had handmade teddy bears, book bags and all kinds of things.
Talk about talented!

 

One thing she also did is paint on items, book bags, tote bags and canvas
shoes.  I was hooked!  I ordered a pair of shoes, where one foot will have
princess Ana, from Frozen, in her blue dress and the other shoe with
Princess Ana in her other dress.  You see, my Seeing Eye dog is named Anna,
which I call her Princess Ana.  She is also know as Anna Banana.  So, I am
also having her paint a little peeled banana in the ankle part of the shoe.
They are going to be so stinking cute!

 

Although, not my craft project, it was a fulfilling craft day!

It's Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or
achieved a goal?  Share your success with us and we'll celebrate with you.

 

I taught a knitting class this week, which went well.  And, because I was
doing the project as I was explaining it, I've started a nice hat I'll give
to someone.  Love making hats! 

I also took Laurie's class and made a beautiful beaded snowflake.  I'm going
to make some more.  Easy and lovely, and you can't beat that!

 

It's also my Seeing Eye dog Igloo's birthday today.  He's 5!  I can't
believe he's middle-aged.  To me, he's still a pup.  

Tracy
