[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Successful Saturday

Mon Jan 1 01:23:39 UTC 2024

I’m so happy this technology is around and becoming affordable. My friend left me who called in a few weeks ago I guess to the Friday night craft chat loves those. I don’t know what kind she has but sometimes we can’t get her attention because she’s listening to music, or a book on bard and she’s so into stuff that she doesn’t hear anything outside her phone!
