[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello everybody!

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Do you think he might want to make a pillow for his room.  It is easy.  Get two wash cloths with some character of his choice.  I did one of Snoopy in the grass.  Buy matching yarn.  I used black because the snoopy was outlined in black.  Wrap the yarn around a piece of cardboard, equal to the size you want your fringe to be.  If you want 2 inches, then the cardboard should be 2 inches across.  Cut the yarn once, so each piece is 4 inches or double the length you want your fringe to be.  Pin each of the 4 corners together with safty pins.  With a medium chrochet hook, go through both wash cloths right under the thick edging around the cloth.  Put the center of 3 strands of yarn on the hook, pull back so you have three loops and 6 even strands of yarn.  Put the even strands of yarn through the loops and pull.  You have now made your first piece of fringe.  Repeat until you have 3 inches left.  Stuff pillow.  Pin closed and fringe the rest.  Before stuffing, remember to remove pins.  Happy pillow making.  

Terry P.

Hello again everybody!

Dick Carlson here once again.  I had to get off many lists for the past three months due to being so busy and not available as much for a lot of email.
I had to get back on.
Anyway, this was a good list for good ideas and I hope to write from time to time.
You guys remember me dealing a lot with my nephew Willy, who just turned seven years old.  
He's been in school and is doing quite well for what all he's been doing so far.
I still look after him and am helping raise him, and things are going OK!
There has been some great improvement in some areas as well.
One thing he's asked lately is why we haven't done any art any more.  I guess it's been a little while since we've done anything crafty.  Hmmm.  Not good!
Anyway, I guess we're going to get back to trying some fun crafts for kids.

Take care,
Dick
