[Nfb-krafters-korner] bracelet successfully completed

[jill]

I am so glad your daughter liked it!  I would love to learn more knotting
also!  I hope to get with Terry about that book.  The family is all fine,
but getting a little restless since our activities have slowed down.  I have
gotten a small amount of green beans and cucumbers from my vegetable garden
so far.  I have lots of tomatoes which are still green.... sigh can't wait
to get my first tomato sandwich!  For those who have not experienced this
delicacy.. it is 2 slices bread, generous portion of maynaisse and a thick
slice of tomato in the middle with a sprinkle of salt of course!  Makes my
mouth water!

hi Jill,

I wanted to let you know that I successfully completed my cobra braid
bracelet. once I got the hang of it, I asked Valerie if she would like me to
make her a silver bracelet. she said yes, that she liked silver. so next day
I gave her the completed bracelet. she was genuinely happy with it and
thanked me. it makes me feel so good that she likes the things I make for
her. I wasn't certain whether a 22-year-old would like the bracelet or
wether it was more for younger kids, burt apparently it works for her. I
don't know any other kids to make bracelets for unfortunately. I would make
one for myself but I believe that this cord I have would irritate the skin
on my wrist, so not sure I will make another one for me. I have been
considering making the braid as the hanger for the Xmas stocking though and
will suggest it to the group then. well, that is, if I remember to do so.

so thanks again for teaching me a new skill. if you learn more knotting
techniques I would enjoy learning more of them. I did macrame years ago
using that book in braille by Ann Porter, but don't remember the knots or
patterns and don't have a source for the book. but the book was explanatory
enough that I was able to teach myself. sorry, don't remember the name of
the book, but Terry has a copy of it. she offered to read it to some one to
transcribe onto the computer, but gee, that would be quite a project, so
think I'll pass on that one.

in other news I am going to get windows 7 next week upgrading from XP and so
have been busy backing up my data. it is quite a project. meanwhile I am
also learning win7 and office 2010 from the sight center. so I have been
busy with that. but while my computer is being worked on I will still have
my Mac to use and won't have to sell it back till my win7 is up and running.

spent two hours out weeding this evening, got a lot done. I planned to pick
some spearmint for drying, but it  is close to sundown now and the bugs are
biting, so I've quit for tonight.

so what's new with you? how are your family?

later.

Cathy
