[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Nice Surprise

[Lisamaria Martinez]

The passion to do art, in all the forms possible, is definitely
inherited I think.

My mother's side of the family has artists of all kinds. We have folks
who put their art passion into musicfolks who crochet, folks who like
to draw and sketch, folks who are super crafty with a glue gun and
lots of different things to glue together into some awesome craft,
etc.

My grandmother makes beautiful and intricate baby girl clothes from
bonnets to dresses. She's a seamstress and a passionate crocheter. I
want to make a lap blanket for her so much so but won't begin making
it until I work out all my beginner mistakes.
