Several years ago when my delica stash began to grow, I thought I had finally found the perfect thing to store in this antique sheet music cabinet that had been given to me. Because the drawers are so thin, I got these flip-top containers. I spent hours making the labels. I wanted to be able to see right away what the delica number was. With the tubes, you have to pick them up and turn them just right to be able to read the number. The problem? The lids don’t stay on!! Dropping them is a disaster! The lids pop off and beads go everywhere. The lids come off so easily, but I have hundreds of them! I am going to try the diamond art screw top containers. They won’t fit in the drawer, but I guess I could take the bottom out of every other drawer. Don’t get these containers!

Don’t you just love getting a bead order! Just seeing the box gave me a thrill! This is what I needed to add to what I already have for the dog tapestry. Now I just need to get it all organized.

I have so many projects that I want to do. How do you decide what to do for your next project. I enjoy peyote and brick stitch the most. I am stuck in my head at the moment. Help me decide.

I bought this bracelet pattern, but I think it would be really pretty as a necklace. (I wish I could find the shells in that color!) I'm sure someone here has converted a bracelet pattern to a necklace and I could use some pointers. I'm thinking I can make the 6/0 beads smaller and add a couple beads between the two rows of ginkos. Thoughts?

I'll be leaving group I can't keep up plus my health is an issue thank you for having me everyone and Linda sorry. Holidays are coming I'm getting unexpected orders. Thank.you everyone good luck and take care.
