It is taking longer than expected to sort and decide what to keep and what to give away of my bead and jewelry findings stash! This afternoon I thought I was nearly done, but then I discovered three more boxes of findings and beads, along with a couple of tins of broken jewelry waiting to be fixed. Most of the findings and a fair number of beads will go, with a few kept for cosmetic pots, jars, bottles and vases. It'll be another day or two at least, as sitting hunched over my work table with my magnifying glasses slipping off my nose, tweezers in hand, is very wearing....
This is an overview of the two tables in use for this sorting project. There are beads, boxes and baggies literally everywhere. Believe it or not, I've already emptied five plastic boxes, one of them very large indeed. One of my bead sorting containers is full of jewelry findings and a large assortment of beads, ready for delivery to our local hospice shop.
The two shallow plastic boxes at left are among the ones now empty, having been sorted into one of (currently) 3 boxes; one holds nothing but small beads, while the larger holds various sizes of "useful" beads and a smaller one is currently holding baggies of seed beads I hope will find space of the larger box. While I was at this job, I decided to pull various other boxes and trays of things set aside for mini use. With luck there will be no more than two boxes of these little but useful items at the end of this exercise.
I want to do some real minis now.....
