[Nfb-krafters-korner] a few questions

[blindhands at aol.com]

Melissa,

I am not sure what you are referring to regarding bulk yarn info.  Theresa
had suggested to contact her regarding info on getting yarn for charity
projects.  I had suggested contacting the senior centers in your area as
many folks donate yarns to them.

As far as selling your hand made items: Word of mouth is an excellent way to
network.  Either have some business cards made up[a bunch of deals are out
there online][you might have to have some sighted help to order them
online].  I have to think now as I do not do well with remembering names,
but I have gotten a couple of color design business caards like 250 printed
cards for around $30 with the shipping.  I have one design with a crafty
type theme[buttons & yarn and needles, which I use for the Division and I
have another one that has a bright colored stripe awning and that one is for
my crafting sales.

I had taken the course that NFB in Baltimore offered to sell on EBay.  We
also have some folks that have things for sale on Etzie [don't know if I
spelt that correctly].  In my area it seems like the craft shows are not as
many or as large as in the past.  So there are options out there.

As far as Dallas or Orlando goes,we invite all to take part here at Krafters
Korner.

Krafters Korner is for everyone and Everyone makes Krafters Korner what it
is!

I'm sorry if this looks strange.  My original message was accidentally sent
from another email address.  
first of all, could someone send me the info for the bulk yarn source
discussed last night during the shawl class?
also, as blind people, other than conrentions, how do you advertise your
work either for proffit or voluntier work.  I know my way around churches,
etc to make things like blankets and shawls, but how would you safely
advertise for proffit?  I am saying safely because there is an app for
iphone and android called nextdoor that I hav thought about advertising on,
but can't tell if they can see exactly where I live.  MY husband and I are
in and out of the house with our different hobbies.  bowling and my
crocheting, etc.  
Okay, so more than two questions, but is everyone going to Orlando, or is
anyone going to Dallas?  I know that this is mostly for NFB, but just
curious? Not trying to open up a jug of worms on list, but if you are going
to Dallas, email me.  talk to you later.
