Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm getting excited to do this! I'll look in to
soapmaking kits at my local craft stores.

In Christ, Miranda

Hi Miranda and welcome to the list, here are any number of crafts that the
blind can do and it does take some exploring to find what you enjoy doing. 
We have crocheters, needle knitters, loom knitters, quilters, plastic
canvas, oragami makers, beaders, soap makers on here, just to name a few.
For a quick and easy craft what about soap making, especially natural soaps,
I know there are kits available at craft stores, that are real easy to do,
they contain most everything you'd need such as the mold and stuff to make
the soap, then you could just buy more of the soap supplies and maybe a few
different kinds of molds.
Just a suggestion
Again, welcome and hope this helps a little, Barb R
