[missred871]

HA HA I bet! Looks like it is difficult, they look great though

Alright everyone should have gotten a PM from me with their swap partners, so let me know if you didn't pretty sure I took care of you all. Remember have em out by Sept 1st, I figure that is PLENTY of time lol. I know it will fly by though

It will take me a few days to go through everything I have........

I recently combined all my larger beads by color instead of having them separated by color & material. I figured all colors together would be easier than all glass separated by color and all plastic separated by color.

Don't know what I was thinking...I don't like it combined.

It takes up less space though! Leaves me more room for smaller beads & gemstones & such.

I think I spend about 3 months out of each year just arranging and rearranging.

I think I would be happier if my scrapbooking/cardmaking supplies weren't in the same area as my beading supplies.

ETA: I have been rearranging the studio for 6 months now. Still a work in progress.

I hate them

BUT when my niece comes over, gives me something to let her use so she doesn't use my good ones! She used to have her own little stash of pony beads she got at Christmas from someone one year & I have been picking up various plastics here and there for her to add to her stash. Of course last time, she wanted to take them all home, so I may let her next time she is over.

Which is the reason they were separated to start with

You try doing quillwork on leather...the quills are flattened and sewn in like beads are.

Plastic ones are how I taught my daughter to use her first loom and later how to do peyote ... that is all they were ever used for. I really need to find them and toss them lol
