[Nfb-krafters-korner] visiting a friend

[Carol Osmar]

I just returned home from a trip I am anxious to tell you all 
about.  As some of you know I live in Michigan.  My mother, my 
husband and I drove to MN for my uncle's funeral.  It just so 
happens Theresa Taylor lives about a half hour from where the 
funeral was, so I was able to stop and pick up the bead kits for 
the next two safety pin beading classes.

Her husband Ken showed us many of the beading projects they have 
done.  Most of them were quite large, maybe 15 inches tall.  I 
especially liked the ice cream cone and hot air balloon.  They 
were all impressive.

It was really great to sit around and talk crafts with a fellow 
blind krafter and meet their family.  I wish we could all get 
together.

My aunt mentioned to me that she buys kits from Herrschners.  
Although I know some of you have recommended them in the past, I 
have never purchased anything from them and did not know they 
were located in WI.  Well, since we were coming home through WI 
we just had to stop and check it out.  The clerks were very 
helpful.  I picked up several things for Henrietta and Me.

Theresa and Ken are tired of hearing us say this, but we just 
retired last week so we can do anything we want to do now and we 
plan to do a lot of traveling.  So look out we may be coming to 
your house too.  LOL
