Congratulations, Ericka!  That is an accomplishment.  And you’re already putting it to use, contacting people.

I haven’t been doing any craft as we call it here in the group, but I received my general class amateur radio license today! I didn’t exactly know what I was getting into but I passed on the second try. I am in Bloomington Minnesota at HANDIHAM amateur radio camp.  I called that an accomplishment. I also made two contacts. One in Indiana and one in Ohio. It was tough cause though spots from the sun and all those things are just making connections tough through the air waves. We’re making the best of it and by the way HANDIHAM has been around for 58 years. It started out helping World War II veterans get back into civilian life and adjust to having a disability. Now it’s everyone with Disability. Most of us are blind, but there are people who are deaf blind. There are people who are in a wheelchair and everything.

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

 

I ordered buttons from Etsy for the sweater I’m making.  I used Facetime to show my sister my sweater, and then sent her a link to the buttons that sound right, and she thinks they look good.  We’ll see.  They’re supposed to arrive by Monday, if not sooner. 

While I’m waiting for them to arrive, I started knitting the throw a friend asked for.
