I CANNOT quit laughing!!!! Have we not all been there? What color?

:-D Glad to have made your day!

I have transparent red, opaque black, opaque white and transparent
crystal. It seemed more economical to order them by the half-kilo than
by the hank. So I thought...well, I would probably end up using a lot
of the basics - black and white - and then of course because I do
Christmas crafts, red and silver. It's probably a good thing I said
"Hmm, this is getting expensive" or else I would have green and gold as
well!

Well gosh...a half kilo is 1.1 lbs btw. So I have 4.4 lbs of beads!
That's more than a lifetime's worth of seed beads :-D I can't believe
that it didn't dawn on me that I was ordering that much.

We're booked for three Christmas craft sales, so I'll bag a few of each
colour and maybe they can find new homes. A friend has already taken 40
grams off my hands, but if I can sell 250 grams of each, that would
make a sufficient dent. I'll be sure to take a picture when I get home.

Best,
Christine

I love miyuki drops! I use them for so much..borders on peyote stitch,
in free-form peyote, in bead embroidery, in spiral rope (they look
amazing in spiral rope)...I have so many tubes of them that they take
up two and a half organizers.

shipping to the states? You can email me with the answer.

I can see why you love them so much! It sounds like you have a real
mountain of them. I haven't tried spiral rope or peyote, although I
have a Beadstyle Basics magazine which shows how. Thanks for sharing
that idea...I'll have to try it with once I master it with seed beads
:-)

Hi Alison,

Here you go:

I have to admit the black pile is a little on the low side since I
filled up some empty tubes with it. Not that you would ever know of
course :-)

Best,
Christine

There are NO spending accidents, just beads that haven't met their
coordinating buddies yet! hahahahahahahaha

Makes me feel as if I could just scoop them up and run off with them.

OMG! It looks like YARN!! I can believe how many beads that must be.

Those clear ones call to me... despite the fact that I don't bead (I just
collect! :-)

On a related note...last week at my weekly beading group I was voted the
Best Person to Spend Other People's Money. I am the Queen of
Coordinating Bead Buddies, lol.
