[Nfb-krafters-korner] FRIDAYS QUESTION-What haveyou madethat you are m

Tue Feb 23 18:43:54 UTC 2010

I think I got it now.  We are still on the question from Friday, a week ago.  
What is your most treasured item you made?
Did not realize it was going on through the week.  That is why Cindy did not know the subject, either.

While on the topic, I made a cleanex box for my state leader, when she stepped down from president.  It had the whole braille alphabet, a full cell and I think I might have put the Whozit.  
What a way to pramote braille and the dots were even raised, like on my book marks.  Sure wish I had gotten a picture of my hard work and planning.  

I can make a piano mug.  I showed it to a lady at work.  She asked me if I could make her a cleanex box like it for a piano teacher.  Together, we designed notes for the top and I expanded the patern, or the keys to fit a cleanex box and bingo, I made it.  It had black and white keys and a black top with 1 sets of 2 notes, in white, at each end of the top.  Sure wish I got a picture of that treasure, too.
I started my picture portfolio after that, when a friend at work offered to take some pictures of my work.

In my earlier years I made the squares for an afkan and my Mom or a friend put it together.  It finally got distroyed by use and our dogs.  I have made 2 doll blankets, a few baby blankets for the family and a few simple scarves. I started plastic canvis in the earley 90s when I met a lady who worked in a copy center, down the road.  We both have epelepsi and she tought me by using samples and large diagrams.
I am advancing in knitting and beginning in beading.  I have a dream of putting plastic canvis and beading together.

I think for me over the years there have been several projects I am proud of, like the sweaters I made in high school.  So lately the project that means the most to me is a crocheted poncho.  I found this yarn at a junk store.  It is very expensive yarn.  I paid a tiny amount per skein all I could find.  So when I smashed my foot, I had time to do something with this treasured yarn.  I made myself a poncho small enough to not touch the wheels of my wheelchair.  Then proudly added to it as I learned to walk.  So this poncho is a victory for me on several levels.

This yarn is undyed and very light weight but warm. Oh and hand wash only, smile.

Anyone want a hand made poncho, scarf, small throw, smile.  I have more of this yarn, smile.
