[Nfb-krafters-korner] Drawing with braille

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi,
     I don't really have a specific craft that I like to make,
although I have made some wonderful scarves with a loom that my
parents got me for Christmas: quite a good boredom killer or easy
thing to do while sitting around watching TV. I would love to learn
about new projects that I could start because summer as a college
student can be quite boring.
I look forward to learning from everyone!
