Hi Terry P.,
No, you are not too busy. lol What are these strips you mentioned? I'd like to get back to knitting and crocheting and working with beads as well as other crafts. I'd also like to do the braille pictures. Can't wait to get started.

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.
