[qubit]

Hi Joyce -- Good for you!
As for stories about grandmas losing their sight and stopping their 
knitting, I heard just the opposite when I was growing up -- my relatives 
used to tell me about our great grandma knitting and rug making and doing 
other crafts even after losing her vision.  She would ask what color yarn 
she was using was all, then would do the work.
So everybody keep on krafting!

Yes, I agree with you totally on this Diane.  People comment how  fabulous
we are and wonderful that we can do our crafting.  I take the  compliment
and file it.  It is the stories I hear, " that my Mom or Grandma  use to do
that and then her sight got bad and she does not do it any  more."  Those
folks I aske, "Why doesn't she do it?"  When they tell  me due to her bad 
eye
sight, I tell them I can't see anything.  I encourage  them to get out there
and help them find what they need to get started  again.

I of course tell them about the Krafters Korner.org and tell them to check
us out.

I know I use to wish before I went blind and was working 2 jobs, that I
wished I had more time to do what I loved to do with my crafts and taking
pictures.  I had just started being interested in photography and had taken
some classes in a local camera shop.  Two days before I had my surgery and
went blind, I was at a Dachshund Specialty dog show  and after my male long
hair won first place in his classification, I was lying down on my tummy on
the  ground snapping pictures of little doxies jumping over rrails in  the
agility  part of the dog show.   So I haven't found a way  to do that, but
crafting is something I will never give up.

Joyce
