Welcome Dixie!  I am Cindy Zimmer and I work/teach at the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I teach Home Management skills to blind adults in the training center.  Along with teaching cooking and cleaning, I also get to teach crafts.  I enjoy learning new crafts and working on alternatives so those that are blind can do them.  

I'll be at the NFB convention in July and hope to meet you then.

Cindy Zimmer

Hi,

My name is Dixie, and   I live in Connecticut.  I have been doing crafts
since I was a little kid.  My favorite crafts were crochet, knitting, macramé, beading, counted cross stitch, pulled thread embroidery, drawn thread embroidery, needlepoint, bargello, sewing, hmmmm,  I am sure I am missing something in that list.  I lost my sight about 5 years ago, and I have been trying to get back up and running with my crafting.

My first love was the embroideries, but, I just have no clue how to do those in the dark.  Knitting I was very poor at, and now I am getting better, I am mediocre!  I am starting to get my crocheting back, which I enjoy doing so much more than knitting.  But, I have taken up spinning.  It was always a dream of mine to learn and so, this was the time to take it up.  I am really enjoying spinning and hope to get into spinning dog hair.  Cobalt, My Fidelco Shepherd being the first fiber donor to this new endeavor.

I look forward to meeting you all, and hope to join in on one of the chats in the not to distant future.
 

Dixie
