Hello All,
How many others got to stitch this past weekend? I stitched some each day. Here is my progress from last week.
Before:
After:
I finished the beading on the chair. I added a couple of more ornaments to the dream catcher. My son brought to my attention that the dream catcher was not complete on the left side. I finished that. I finished adding beads to one of the pots. I started adding beads to the bottom of her skirt.
I was wondering what do you use to put your beads into as you are stitching on a piece? Years ago I found the perfect item for me. It is a paint tray. I found it in the craft section at Walmart.
My other question is what do you store your beads in when they aren't in the package? I use some containers that screw together and a case to store the containers in. I found this at Walmart.
How do you store your big pieces of cloth when your working on samplers or big patterns? Do you use a scroll frame? What if you have more than one project going? My husband came up with a neat idea. We went to Staples office supplies and purchased mailing tubes. The tubes come in three sizes. I love it as the fabric won't be folded with all those lines.
I also found something to store my orts in. What's neat about these plastic containers is that they snap and lock together. Cool idea huh?
We as stitchers can come up with the neatest ideas for storing and stitching don't you agree?
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful stitching week!
Hugs, Carolyn

Hello dear your stitching is looking so lovely and I love your bead container so much
Big hugs cucki x
SpiritDancer is looking beautiful and I love all your little storage ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I'd be terrified of using a paint tree for beads! I can just see a cat-oops or a Rosey-oops and there they'd go, all over the carpet never to be found again, haha. The mailing tubes are a great idea!
The beading is looking beautiful and I just love that tiny blue pot!
Spirit Dancer is amazing, you much have so much patience to work this project. You have had some brilliant storage ideas.
Beautiful progress Carolyn!
I love all your gadgety finds!
Wow, she is looking amazing!
I wish the paint tray would work for me, but between the two cats I'd have beads everywhere.
The mailing tubes are a great idea..must think about that one! Lovely work on the indian.
Thanks for the tips on etsy: I will have a look. Happy Christmas xxx
Spirit Dancer looks amazing! I enjoy seeing your progress photos. Merry Christmas!!
Love your storage ideas. I usually just take my beads right from the package they come in. I'm going to get some of those mailing tubes, though. They would work great for finished projects that haven't been framed yet.
