Well, you may not be the best calligrapher now, but all of the other stuff 
is still quite doable. Before you know it, you'll be teaching us.

Michelle,

You don't have to have the family tell you it is alive. Feel of it. Feel of
the soil. Feel for the blooms. It will actually love you for all that love
and affection. When you feel a dead leaf, remove it. Or, dead blooms.

What crafts did you enjoy before becoming blind? I'll bet one of us knows
how to do that same craft as a blind person. Give us a try and see (big
smile).

I  have been blind for 11 years and have gotten away from doing craft
things. However, I  keep thinking of the Holiday Wreaths we did at rehab
school. I  came up with a  idea to make a  pattern to wrap and make the bows
we affixed to the wreaths.  It turned out to be a  good  fundraising project
for the school.

Last month I  got up the nerve to put a  hanging plant on my front porch.
For years, hanging plants on the porch became a  usual site for my
neighbors. My family tells me it still lives and has blooms. I  guess I  am
returning to that creative side of me. While I  am thinking about it, I
better go an water it.

Welcome to KK! I'm sorta new here, too. All the folks here are wonderful &
super helpful.

What kind of crafts do you enjoy the most?   I love loom knitting & am just
now getting back into plastic canvas.
