That is so awesome. I would like to make such items for others. I have a prayer shawl that was made for my husband when he was ill that was made by my brother's church women. I haven't used it since his death because he was covered with it when he died. Before I placed it on him, I held it and prayed with it. Maybe one day I'll be able to do it for someone else when I get going with knitting. I'm looking forward to getting active with you all.
Oh, I also had the pleasure of meeting Mindy and Loren at the convention. They were sitting at the Krafters table. I would have loved to stay for the rest of the convention, but I had transportation for only Monday, July 6th and only for a short time. I'll try to be there for more of it next year and share a room with others which will help financially.
Blessings,
Annely

We make stripps, knitted or crochet,
7/36 or blocks of 7/9. Our knitting groups puts them
together for men, coming back from war. The Navy
Medical Hospital.
We also make hats and scarves and what ever else for the
needy and baby blankets for Baptism.
People donate yarn or we can buy our own yarn.
I have loom knitted a few hats and now I am doing the
strips.

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.
