Hi Carol yes there is a blind socity where i live thats where Rebecca came from to visit me a couple of times,i told her i wanted to learn braille and she said about collage but thats not for me as i can,t handle groups of peaple only one to one,but will ask about a voulintere sorry can,t spell it hehe to come to our home. it was,nt soft flowers i got its called flower soft it comes in a little plastic pot when you open it you have to put the flower sft into a biger container as you would never get it back in the pot it came in,its soft and the only way i can think of explaining it is its like soft flour running through your fingers you put pva glue onto say a card . my idea was this,i have a cut out shape of a reindeer and im going to cover it in pva then sprinkle the brown flower soft on it will make it feel soft and a bit like fur. My mum thinks hobby craft is expensive and so do a couple of my sighted friends. it was a good day but becouse of the cold my hip is really hurting so think i will be off to bed now. I love chatting to you and clare about crafting and stuff,thankyou for letting me. have a good day tomorrew. love Angela and Monty
