[Nfb-krafters-korner] New list member interested in crafting

Honestly, if you sent it to the list and sent it to me off list that would  
probably be the best.  That way you get folks on the list to make comment  
if they are interested and I would keep your off list email to remind me.   
I sometime like to contact the person who asked for the class to check if 
they  have a preference of day of the week or time.  I can't always get times, 
 but if I know what days work I will contact the teacher and suggest that.

Hi  Joyce,
As far as suggesting previous classes be repeated, would it be  more
appropriate to request this on-list? Or, would you rather I contact  you
off-list about this?
Thanks, and have a great week!

In  Christ, Miranda

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.

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
