We encourage you to take a class or if a class has gone by and you really  
would like to take one of those just let me know and if there is enough 
interest  we repeat classes that are popular.
 
Folks have asked me about doing another  Fun Making Soap class and I  will 
plan another one in the next few months.

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
