I still have bead containers like that somewhere, but haven't used them in years. I used to add them to the zipper pulls of fleece pullovers and vests I sewed and sold, and also to the drawstrings on some fleece hats. So hard when you have to be careful with your dominant hand. Larry is suffering with bad back spasms right now, so can't do much, but has been able to sit at the table and shell walnuts. HIs version of sorting beads I guess ;-) Hope for quick continued healing for you!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-49317026863885558242017-09-15T11:07:23.101-05:002017-09-15T11:07:23.101-05:00Wish I could have had a hand in helping you sort t...Wish I could have had a hand in helping you sort those beads. Now that's my kind of work. Those look so neat and pretty. I'm like you though, the colors have to look just right. I drive myself crazy with things like that. Glad your hand is getting better.

Please just take it easy and let you hand heal. When I need help, I have finally learned to put my pride aside and ask for it. That is a hard thing to do but I use my "advancing age" as a great excuse. Haha. Praying for a speedy recovery for you.
