Hey all. I'm not new to beading, but I've been away from it for a while. Stopped beading when I went into the military and then I was unable to get back into it after the military as I went homeless. Recently I find myself stable in a home finally and am homebound from multiple disabilities that have finally caught up to me over the years. I'm tired of surfing the web and sitting around doing nothing. 

Surprised at all of the new tools to make the beading easier for some of the more detailed and heavier beading projects. Such as the loom work for beading. I'd love to get back into beading. I'm able to look over all of the neat seed bead projects I could do and even have made a few that I'd love to make and see in beads here through the site's pattern maker. Fixed income has made it a bit impossible to get back into beading. I figure when I finish a project, I can sell the projects and build up a beading income for making projects.

I was good at peyote stitch and Native American beading techniques. I want to get back into that as well. Other things I was good at was making knotted floss bookmarks and jewelry, as well as macrame. 

Beyond all of that, I'm enjoying a renewed interest in doing anything outside of being online all the time. I'm just hopefull to get out of being in a funk about being homebound and get active again. Even if it is just at home doing something I used to love again.
