[Nfb-krafters-korner] crafts

Fri Jan 5 12:30:59 UTC 2018

Joyce, I find your message very inspirational and strive to get as many crafts under my belt as you! There are so many crafts that I’d love to learn how to do but get a bit disheartened when I need so much input from a sighted friend or relative for colours etc especially because I don’t have any friends who are already crafty and live nearby. I want 2018 to be my year for advancing my skills to a saleable standard and to finish my many partially completed pieces like my first baby quilt and a needle felted cushion that I need to stuff and sew but am struggling to thread the bobbin on my machine. My dad should be calling round tomorrow so I’ll ask for his help and hopefully get moving on them! 

So many ambitions, so little time!

Suzanne.
