[Nfb-krafters-korner] what is new?

[jill]

Hi,

I thought I would throw out the question “ What is new”?  I mean what is the
new projects everyone is working on.  Have you discovered a new trend in
crafting?  Did you find a unique item at a recent craft fair?  Please share
it with us all!  I believe that burlap is becoming popular for home décor.
Has anyone made something using burlap?  I made a burlap wreath and adorned
it with summer silk flowers as a wedding gift.  Over the weekend I made a
memorial flower arrangement for my best friend’s daughters grave.  My friend
lost her daughter 11 years ago when the little girl was only 3.  Each year
she and I try to make special arrangements for her little angel Kali.  This
year I also covered the Styrofoam with burlap and used greenery and small
pink silk flowers to decorate the piece.  This is a sad but fulfilling craft
for me.  I also made arrangements for my parent’s grave in May.  It is my
way to show my honor and love to them still.  Does anyone else work with
silk flowers?
