crafter problems

[anagramofbrat]

The thing they don't tell you when you take up any kind of craft that involves very small beads of any stripe is that you will spend a fair amount of time on your hands and knees with an eye-destroyingly bright flashlight, picking them out of whatever floor surface you just spilled half a vial onto. >_<

I give thanks for our babyhide thin shit pile industrial carpet right now. I have, for the record, had to do with with shag pile before, and there are few things that make you want to stab yourself in the eye with your needle more. But at least that chore is done, now I can finally run the vacuum in here later.

Fuck it vacuum it anyway, you say? Uh huh, these little shits are expensive, thanks.

Some days I hate my hobbies.

Could you vacuum with a piece of pantyhose over the end or something, like they always say to do for contacts? Not sure how well that'd work but maybe it would.

Beads are evil and occasionally possessed.

This would drive me nuts! And this is why I don't do beading - I don't have carpet - but tiles - they would just bounce in a million different directions - arrgh!
