[Nfb-krafters-korner] Idea for Circular Needle Storage

[River Woman]

Yes, Terri, that happens to me, too. I also have problems with the bump 
dots - they come off after awhile. I am able to see very large and strong 
contrasts so I can use a Big Mamma Marker and Write my description on white 
cards to put in the cases.  I have not yet gotten to the store to buy what I 
need to do this, but I am definitely gonna do it. That one binder will 
replace a big box of needles that I now have in baggies - this will be far 
more organized and easier for me to find what I need. In the baggies, I have 
to sift through them all to find what I am needing. Lynda
