[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Pony beads

Hi Ericka,

These compartment boxes are not so much best for storage because of the fact that you will likely have many more colors of beads than compartments. But what these boxes are good for is to use with a project. For example, suppose you have a project where you will be using four different colored beads. You can place each color in a different compartment and when you need a particular colored bead, you simply reach in to a compartment, rather than fumbling around in a bag. I have a compartment box where it has plastic separators so that you can adjust the size and number of compartments. This has come in handy. Walmart is a good place to buy this type of thing.
Hope to see you in a class soon. I am signed up forShelley’s daisy beaded flower. Folks had some nice ideas for how to use the beaded designs. I just like to make them. I have a collection of beaded items that Joyce taught over the years. I haven’t done a thing with them, just enjoyed making them. Maybe they will come in handy for one of the charities, though they are rather delicate and easily crushed because they are wire.

We’ve had a number of beaded bracelet classes, would you be interested in that? If so, what kind of bracelets do you like? Bangles, stretchy, woven, or what?

May God bless you.
 Cathy F

I don’t see her too much because she lives out of town and we’re both married and you know what I mean. I I’ve known her since first grade. That was a while ago! They sell boxes I think to help you keep them sorted. I guess labeling would be kind of tough in Braille. It looks kind of like a tacklebox the ones I’ve seen at Walmart anyhow. They were clear though. Some of them had pull out drawers and others were a little plastic box kind of like you can buy bunches of stitch markers in.

>> I purchased my pony beads online from Michaels and was able to go and pick them up. But they would have delivered them if I had wanted. Luckily, I had a ride from  my crafty friend. As for the sorting process, I am friends with the kids and there mother next door. I had the kids come over and sort my beads into zip lock bags in which I placed a braille card with the color name. Not everyone has that option I know, and the kids are growing like weeds, so soon I won’t have them as an option either.I’d better see if they can sort my mini pony beads before they get too old to be willing to do it. 
>> I used to visit a older neighbor who would help me with my sorting. If was helpful to me and also for her. She did not get out much and enjoyed the company. I haven’t seen her in awhile. She had been very ill. I should check on her, now that I think of it.
