[Nfb-krafters-korner] SUCCESS

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Cathy,
Wow, you wore me out with all those projects. They all sound great.  

I went to the garden shop today. The salesman was laughing at me. I wanted seeds for herbs and flowers that could live in a coffee cup.  He said I was to early. lol

I want to use up some of these cups in this house. I am sure they multiply during the night. lol I thought some fragrant herbs and maybe some little flowers like viola would be a cute gift on Easter. I could put one at each place setting or a group in the center of the table for people to take home.  

All I could get was the herbs. Since they were on sale I worry that they were not this year's seeds. But I will plant them and hope for the best.  

I am afraid my Husband is going to have some very serious surgery in the next few weeks. So who knows what will be happening on Easter. But I can start this new life and hope.

I feel like you with the baby blanket. I saw a pattern that looked easy and fun. But both my Great Nieces and my Great Nephew have Grandma's who crochet for them. You know one of those Grandma's lol Carol. So no sense competing. lol

I think I might just do some spring dish cloths since I might be spending my days at the hospital. I am putting the patterns in braille as books now. What a boring job. But how nice it is to have my little flip books with a line on each page when I am knitting.

This group has sure stretched our horizons hasn't it?
