Guest post....Oh where....is her mojo???

Hi! My friend, Irene, asked me if I wanted to do a guest post on her blog and I said " why not? ". So, here goes!

I am Cindy from CindyB's. I'm supposed to love crocheting, knitting, sewing and quilting! And I DO!!!!!

But, I have lost my mojo! Or is it crojo?, knitjo, or whatever you want to call it? It's just gone! I've tried about everything to get it back. I tried changing it up a little too!

I really admired loom knitted items at the craft shows last summer, so I bought not one, but two loom sets! A 5/8 inch plastic set and a 3/8 inch wood set from CinDwood Looms. I found out, much to my dismay, that I do not like looming! This is definitely not my cup of tea!

I am no quitter in this pursuit of my craft mojo! My friend, Irene is helping me in my pursuit!!!!! "Try beading" she said! Lol! Another friend of mine gave me a lot of her mother's seed beads! Good grief! I can barely see them! But, Irene is doing her best to help me! And to be honest, after watching a ton of You Tube videos and her help, I can see the appeal! And, after trying a few projects, I now know what I like and don't like.

For instance, it definitely works best for me personally, if I can actually see the bead!!! And, with the help of an Ott light and magnifier, I can!

There is definitely a learning curve! And with Irene's unending patience and good teaching skills, I am enjoying myself!

She also introduced me to the incredible, beautiful and spectacular ladder yarn and how to crochet it into necklaces! Is this my new "Craft"? Possibly!!!! But what I really like most of all is spending time crafting with my friend! I'll post a few of my endeavors.
