[Nfb-krafters-korner] Introduction from a New Member

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Hi Jewel, 
   Welcome to our group and hope you have fun and find answers to your crafting questions. I am Audrey, Secretary of Krafters Korner and would like you to explore this site:
    http://www.ssww.com/search/?va=1&v=string+art
   The pictures you are talking about are definitely called "String Art" and this site still has the kits available.  I put this site up several days ago, but I guess no one has had a chance to review the things they have to offer.  I dealt with this company off and on for several years and know they are very reliable.  They are called "S & S Worldwide".  I have no other affiliations with them other than to offer you all an on line location to obtain some of your craft supplies at a reasonable very price and a more convenient delivery option. 
   I also want you to know I am a seamstress and one of the items we use in sewing is a leather thimble that slides over your finger to help with the pushing of the needle.  This can be used as a protection for your finger when pushing in your tacks.  They can be purchased in any sewing store or in the beading aisle of craft suppliers,(Joann's, AC Moore, Michael's)
We also use metal and plastic hard thimbles, but these might not give you the touch sensation you need. 
   Lastly, with Joyce's last post to you - I believe she was trying to let you know that you need to start your application for the Jernigan Fund as early as possible, even if it's not for this year.  
   Good luck, 
   Audrey Wellner
   Secretary, Krafters Korner

Joyce,

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortuantely, North Carolina's chapter is
broke, due to a loss of the caller center they have been using for
years that brought in the majority of their funding each year. Because
of the high expense of a trip from North Carolina to Dallas, and lack
of other assistance, $600 would not be enough to help me, because I
have so many other expenses right now and very little money. It will
likely h appen next year, though, and I will certainly try for the
scholarship then.
