[Nfb-krafters-korner] cleaning up after crafting

[Marianne Denning]

The yarn reminded me of my dog guide, Jackson.  He got 2 balls of yarn
and went around and around my dining room table.  I had to throw that
yarn away because it was so messed up.  When something gets really
tangled around our house we say it is "Jacksoned up."

Shelbi, I know your hair wrapped around the beater of the sweeper was
very painful and dangerous but I had to laugh a little imagining how
that must have looked. We do need to laugh at ourselves sometimes.
