[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday

Thu Mar 30 05:49:33 UTC 2017

Pizza, lasagna, and nachos with lots of cheese, sour cream, and olives
 along with the soda. Supposed to be good and eat healthy, but since
we're spending imaginary money, I'll imagine that my cholesterol isn't
anywhere near out of whack, and that I can eat all I want as I think
of more crafts projects to do.

Ditto on the spinning wheel and learning to spin. Forgot that was on
my to-do list.

Also wondering about the Shaker towels.

Henry, apple butter turned out light, smooth, melt in your mouth,
great cold out of the fridge on a warm biscuit. Who knew. I'm sure
there's some in HI, just haven't found it at any of the stores near my
place. Now won't have to look, since I can make my own.

Does candy making count as a craft? Can I add that to my take-a-class
portion of the answer for this week's question?
