[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Coming down to the wire

[Bernice Bird]

I thought my friend was screwing up on what she was putting in the bag, but
my good sense of touch had me checking  and noticing there were no size 8 mm
beads. She checked again and the bag said 8 instead of 6. 

I had them all marked at 1 time, but they got out of order. She and I will
get them back in order one of these days.

Sometimes it is difficult for aira to get the colors correct. I think it is
because transmission of color on a computer or phone isn't always true. 

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Bernic,

Where I get the beads there are no labeling on the bags at all.  So I do it
all by touch.  As far as the colors goes, I have labeled them by my pen
friend and the help of my son.  Since he doesn't offer me much time I
usually walk up to him with 2 bags of beads in each hand and ask him what
color, then run back into my place and label those 2 bags.  After that I hit
the bag with my color identifier  to check what color it is telling me.

For the mouse I have 3 boxes,
1 with red all sizes
1 with white all sizes
1 with crystal all sizes.


Don't call me a bean counter as I am "A bead Counter"! LOLe

Good morning,

 

The sign up deadline for the tiny Christmas Basket is August 21 and the
class is August 28 at 7:00. I have put together kits with the materials to
make 1 basket. The only thing I didn't mention that you will need is a wire
cutter. The wire I have in the kits isn't very heavy, so even if you have
some hand strength problems hopefully you should be able to trim the wire.

 

Please let me know if you haven't already if you want me to send a kit to
you. I am giving each person that signs up 1 kit for free. Please sign up
for the class and also email me your name and address.

 

I have used several shades of blue, green, red, and white beads to make up
the kits. I have also cut 3 pieces of wire that are a generous length to put
your basket together.

 

I got thinking about how to ship the kits, and thought padded envelopes
would be best. Well, who has that many padded envelopes. So, I asked on free
cycle for medium to small padded envelopes. Someone emailed me right away
giving me 15 padded envelopes. I love free cycle! I have given many items
away on free cycle and received many items also. Free cycle is an
international effort to keep usable items out of landfills. One time I gave
a large box of materials a teacher could use in a primary classroom. I had
made them when I was in college. Someone gave me a desk. 

 

Have a great Saturday, August 15, 2020

Bernice
