Stupid Beading Tricks: Sorting

I haven’t managed to create ONE stupid thing since before the wedding. I blame married life for sapping away all of my creativity. And the more I look at beading sites and Pinterest, the more I think I’m a talentless hack.

So to reacquaint myself with my beads, I decided to clean up my trays. Meaning, sort them by color. Every. Bead.

Fact: Every Facebook status is funnier if you fit in the word “slobbering.”

It’s taken me about 2 1/2 weeks, but I’m finished. And I now have 5 color trays instead of 4. 🙂

Purple, blue, green & yellow
Red, pink, orange, brown
Black, white, and 3 shades of gray.

WM heads back to school tomorrow. I’m very thankful and grateful that he has a job to go back to. This is in mostly due to Governor Pancakes-(R) frightening a bunch of teachers into retirement. My feelings on this are very mixed. Because we knew he had a job to go back to, our summer was laid-back and worry free. If you’re keeping track, this was our first worry-free summer. Here’s to many more.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.
Well, that happened.
