Moar crafter problems
May. 6th, 2013 08:50 pmSo last night I had a vivid dream about spilling a box of beads into the carpet. I mean granted the beads in the dream were somewhat less of a pain to pick up, being about the size of ditalini or perler beads instead of the vision destroying grains of sand that they are in reality, but they were still annoying to pick up in the dream.
This morning I emptied my purse when I got to work, per usual (pretty much all I put in there is my lunchtime can of soup, my keys, my wallet/phone and my charger cable) and discovered that the bead box I'd put in there yesterday and removed this morning had popped two compartments and I now had at least two grams worth of two colors kicking around in the bottom of the bag. It could have been a lot worse, mind - the two colors that got dumped are fairly contrasting, as opposed to the possibility of having my two lightest colors mixed together... I shudder at the very thought, considering how much trouble I have telling them apart under anything but a blindingly bright LED flashlight, and even then it's a strain. Also, there are worse places to have a bead spill than a reasonably small and pretty self contained bag. Which isn't to say there wasn't some swearing when I discovered the mess.
Seriously can I be done with this project now, ugh. Also why do I have to have the prescient dreams about bead disasters of all things? >_<
