why you should always take care with beads

I spent half an hour this morning picking up and sorting out the hundreds of beads that went *everywhere* when I didn’t make sure that the bead container was properly on the table.

I keep my embroidery beads in little pill boxes, with separate “morn”, “noon”, “eve” and “bed” compartments for each day of the week. They’re great for storing all my beads, except…

…as I discovered this morning, when you don’t put the tray they sit in properly on the table.

CRASH!!

The little compartment lids flip up and out the beads tumble and go about as far as you can possibly imagine on wooden floors.

I bet I’ll be finding them for weeks.
