She had stuffed animals from her kids, school pictures and a whole lot of books and mail that we got through yesterday yesterday. Then we\u2019ve got the pantry and bedrooms to go through. She took so much stuff and it\u2019s hard to believe there\u2019s still so much left! No matter what size of closet people tend to fill it up with more stuff and hide it so well. Lol when she\u2019s completely moved in the apartment is cleaned up and the keys turned in. I guess I\u2019ll have to turn around and do it in our house. No yarn will disappear. I\u2019ll figure out something it\u2019s projects that turned out like crap because I\u2019m a beginner that I don\u2019t know what to do with. At our first church here in Janesville, Wisconsin, I gave things to Pastor, and he handed them out to the Homeless. Better to have something funny looking but warm than nothing at all.<div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Ericka Nelson</div><div>KE9DYN</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 12, 2025, at 1:24\u202fPM, Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }

I have a new granddaughter, born on 10/09/25. We were on our way back from Virginia, attending my brother\u2019s celebration of life and I got the news. Anahi Jiselle was born, weighing 6 lbs., 3 oz. and is 18.5 inches long. They barely made it to the hospital and that little baby was born! The nurse and doctor hadn\u2019t even got into the room yet, when my son had to yell into the hall that the baby was coming! When the nurse came down the hall, sure enough, she was making her entrance into this world! We are heading there tomorrow to meet this beautiful baby!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">ReNae</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> NFB-Blind-Crafters <<a href="mailto:nfb-blind-crafters-bounces@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">nfb-blind-crafters-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, October 11, 2025 11:09 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'List for Blind Crafters and Artists' <<a href="mailto:nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:carcione@access.net" target="_blank">carcione@access.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It\u2019s Successful Saturday!

I did it again, then thought I\u2019d picked up the stitches on the wrong side and pulled it out and did it again picking up on the other side, only to realize I was right the first time and pull that out. Now I\u2019ve picked up stitches for the band again. I\u2019m on the right side, and I have the right number of stitches.
