Since I cannot knit, spin or weave right now I have moved into a major cleaning mode again. Today I started working on my jewelry making supplies. Since I am no longer doing fund raising, I am no longer making earrings or bracelets those beads and supplies have to leave. I am only about 60% finished, but I have almost filled a medium USPS medium flat rate box. To be weighed and listed on E Bay for gem show pricing.
I am also taking the opportunity to switch out my storage space for my jewelry making supplies. I have two new storage boxes in an effort to downsize from over a dozen containers. I still have to go through a few more boxes. I went through the beads first because there were just so many of them in so many boxes they were in. I can say the beads have all been sorted. I just have to decide how many findings to keep. For those that do not make jewelry the findings are the pieces that keep the beads together.
I made more progress in other areas too. Yesterday I went through the coat closet. I just wanted to see if anything I stored in there because it was two small for me to wear at the time. The good news is that I fit into 2/3 of them. Only one did not survive the time in the closet. That particular year did not wear well. Four pieces need to be hand washed, the others are now waiting their turn in the washer then the clothes line for drying. So this round of new clothes is a continuation of shopping from my closet. There are a few pieces that still have a few more inches to go. I found this to be my personal happy dance time.
Just a little peak of the beads I went through today. This is only one of the drawers that I went through today.
