[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friendship Bracelets (was: RE: Kumihimo)

[Miranda B.]

Hi,
Wow! I'm excited to look at the friendship bracelet book.
Cats are great for demanding our attention, I promise! A cat my husband once
had pead on everything including expensive snow pants and an expensive
answering machine.
Our current two are pretty well-behaved, although the older one (the one who
wanted to help me loom knit) is more of a trouble-maker than the younger
one. LOL. He's used to Daddy's previous very early morning work schedule, so
he still thinks 4:00 is time for the rest of the household to get up, and
he'll do anything to wake us up including unplugging the fan when it's humid
and muggy!

All of your projects sound like a lot of fun, and I too know it's hard to
resist all of these wonderful classes and crafts to learn!

In Christ, Miranda

Hi Miranda,
I got the book from bookshare and it is entitled: friendship bracelets and
is by Camilla Gryski.  I browsed through the book and it looks quite
accessible, with word descriptions, so it is certainly an option to learn
from. Not the first time I learned a craft from a book. I learned how to
macramé from a book as well. but that was years ago and I don't remember
what the book was called. It was in Braille I am pretty certain of that. I
remember making a hanging table and a couple of purses. 
I also remember with a grimace that I was so into the craft that I stopped
holding my cat on my lap during the five o'clock news and in retaliation he
peed all over a purse I was making!  Yuck!  
I have two cats now and am careful not to ignore them when they want to be
held, so you could say that I learned a lot from that experience. The purses
must have been pretty because a month or two ago, my mom happened to mention
that she still owns a purse I made for her in macramé. I hadn't even
remembered I'd made her a purse. <smile>  maybe I should go on a search to
find that macramé book, but when I'd have time to begin another project I do
not know. next week I am going to delve into learning plastic canvas and
make coasters, so that will keep me busy and I don't want to overwhelm
myself with having too many things  going on at once.  But it sure is
difficult to resist all these classes and the opportunity to learn something
new. 
Cathy
