And then...there is me. lol. I've tried so many crafts. I can make jewelry but it's just not that fun to me. I have enough beads in my closet to make a necklace long enough to stretch to where you live.

Anyway, point is, i DO want something that is from my hands that i can pass on to someone. A part of my life, my love and my work. Corny, maybe. But i want it and i want it bad.

I'm sitting here trying to go by this book and the first stitch to learn is the casting stitch. I look at the pic and i'm not sure if i'm doing it right or not. That is what is so frustrating. What if i'm practicing it wrong?

I'm not to the point of poking my eyes out with the needle yet, but i have sat on them twice now.

You are so lucky to be learning in the age of YOUTUBE!!
YOUTUBE IT !!!

They have EVERYTHING!
