[Nfb-krafters-korner] patience, patience, patience

Thu Oct 28 11:43:28 UTC 2010

I have a plastic box with 4 or 5 slots to put needles in and I can put folding sizzors there, too.  I think I might lose a pill bottle.  I can sourt them out by size.  I like those quilted change purses for a pair of sizzors and a needle or two, to cary with my project.  I usually have a second needle.  You never know when you might drop one!

Linda;
How about adding braille to your large print labels.  This will prevent straining for those high up items, and if you are learning, the print will back up your braille.  I can read jumbo print, but surely not that far away.  
I had alfa shelving put in my closet by the container store and also in my londry room.  One wall is for crafts and other items.  I love it!  Shelves are adjustable.  
Plastic draws from Walmart or Kmart are also helpful if you do not want to put shelving in.

Linda, I certainly could not claim to be patient, but I may have a tip that you would like.  I keep yarn needles in a pill bottle.  If you have several things in plastic bottles, they can be Brailled.  If you don't use Braille, other tactile markings will work.  Where aids and gadgets for the blind are sold, there are generally glue on shapes to go on the top of jars, etc. 
You can also use envelopes to sort things like needles and chrochet hooks and trims, etc.  I don't do it as much as I wish I did.  But when I get around to sorting things in bottles or envelopes and brailling them, it is so nice too be able to find them so easily.
