Welcome Annely;

This is Terry Powers from MD.  I was at the chat, last night.
I do loom knitting, hand knitting, plastic canvas, some beading and am a beginner at crochet. I have also done some safty pin beading.  
Right now, I have 3 strips for the Navy hospital, in the works, a prayer shawl, and learning the loom ornaments.  Is that enough?
Two of the stirps are closed to done, I just do not want to go past the length they want.  I also want something small to cary around, so I started another!

Terry Powers

Hi Everyone!

(I hope I am doing this right.)  Although I have been on the Monday night calls, I haven't posted here until now.

My name is Annely Rose and I am in Florida.  I have done some crafting in the past, but it has been a long time.  I was busy with raising kids, working,  and taking care of my husband before he passed.  I used to knit and crochet, but that was ages ago.  I have made some braille cards and last week I did some safety pin beading at camp.  When I was a kid, my neighborhood friends and I used to make different craft projects: a Christmas wreath made from tissue paper and a wire coat hanger, leather belts, baskets, and other things I don't remember.  The projects I did as a child I used my partial vision, but now I am totally blind for the past 5 years so it will be a learning experience for me.  I look forward to learning new things to do.  I may get my daughter-in-law and 14-year-old granddaughter involved, too.  I look forward to spending time on the Monday night calls and doing projects.  I think that's enough for now.  God bless you all.

Annely

 What about making tactile
 calligraphy, or engraving it into clay or other  substance?

 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).

 Greg

 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.
