Emily,
Welcome to the list. Glad you are here. You will learn a lot and keep realy
busy. Choose the things that interest you and what you would like to learn
and have fun with and you will become one of us and have fun. I am in SC but
we have a few members in FL also.

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.
