Beware of easy peasy

I decided to try and learn how to do the round peyote stitch. I have tried to learn the flat peyote stitch but let's just say, I am blaming the beads not my lack of understanding the concept. I am practicing because I would like to use this stitch to make necklaces with some of the great natural stones I have from a few purchases. I know until I learn the basic stitches I will never become successful at the more unique. I am having fun trying to take the basic and make them my own. I am so proud of my actually being able to thread the needle a few times in less than 10 tries. My eyes are not my friend at times. As long as there is really good lighting it helps me. You would think that being the case I would be drawn to the more large stones instead of the tiny 15's. Could get my new beads tomorrow but part of the fun is waiting for the box. Sellers have the weather to contend with so one must understand some longer mail times. Here is the Peyote....it has already been decommissioned and the beads back in the box. The easy peasy stitch has proven to be my "I want to scream at the person who said it was easy". Hope there are some great projects happening out there. Love to hear about them and any ideas and helpful hints.
