[Nfb-krafters-korner] felting resorces

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Joyce,
I think the blind teachers we have had were great. But we wouldn't 
want to be like some of those sighted people and discriminate against 
people who are not like us. lol  A sighted teacher, especially one 
who is used to teaching visually impared, would be great as far as I 
am concerned.

More then that, Those tea cups sound like fun and anyone willing to 
teach me how is top on my list. lol
