[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Pony beads

[Ericka]

Glad you have some help there Kathy. Do they sell these in compartmentalized boxes sometimes? I think a friend of mine used to do that stuff. She made friendship necklaces and stuff. I don’t see her too much because she lives out of town and we’re both married and you know what I mean. I I’ve known her since first grade. That was a while ago! They sell boxes I think to help you keep them sorted. I guess labeling would be kind of tough in Braille. It looks kind of like a tacklebox the ones I’ve seen at Walmart anyhow. They were clear though. Some of them had pull out drawers and others were a little plastic box kind of like you can buy bunches of stitch markers in.

As for the sorting process, I am friends with the kids and there mother next door. I had the kids come over and sort my beads into zip lock bags in which I placed a braille card with the color name. Not everyone has that option I know, and the kids are growing like weeds, so soon I won’t have them as an option either.I’d better see if they can sort my mini pony beads before they get too old to be willing to do it.
