YeeHaw! Good for you, Maggie!

I have spent the past two days going through all of my jewellery supplies, mostly beads. I had put them all in baggies and a bin when we moved over six years ago. Made a couple of half-hearted attempts to use them over those years with no energy to do so. I *thought* I'd gotten rid of a lot of inventory. No way! I have sorted almost all of them, now, by shape, size, and colour/type. I have filled over 100 little plastic boxes, actually about 139...I lost count! Now, I cna hardly wait to start designing.

A dear friend found out what I do and liked the jewellery pix I sent her, so she sent some bits she's collected over the years. All of them have a story and meaning to them, which she has shared and which makes them that more precious to me. She has asked me to design a couple of special necklaces from them. I am honoured and so ready to get started, esp. now that most of my things are sorted! The rest of my clutter may not get shifted soon, but I am going to have fun. There is also an art show coming up which I may design one for, for display and sale.

I love this thread! Thanks,
