     To reply to all of you,

Silly puddy is a great idea until I actually learn something productive, 
and there wouldn't be any beads all over the floor because the stupid 
strings came untied LOL. But I would really like to get into some 
crafts, and who knows. I might become fast enough to sell something at 
my local honey festival which happens every november in my home town. I 
will work on my mom, to see if she'll help me get something cheap so I 
can join the conference calls. As for knitting, I started learning, but 
I'm stuck at a point where whatever I do I keep undoing my own yarn, so 
no progress is made at all, good or bad. I'm starting a new row, and 
that's where it's awefull for me. Is the person who is doing the bead 
and safety pin thing selling this kit, or is there some place I should 
be able to get it?
It sounds like I've got a lot of newbie friendly opportunities on this 
list!
