What's in your Purse?

What's in your Purse?
from Deb Moffett-Hall

A few of my favorite non-bead specific beading items;

1. Altoids tins of all sizes: they securely hold bead tubes, needles, thread, thread cutting disk. I pull these out of my purse in Doctor's waiting rooms, at the orthodontist, etc. and make use of otherwise wasted time.

2. "Jelly" type pencil grips make great needle pullers.

3. Tic Tac boxes both large & small are a tear proof way to carry beads in my purse.

4. "Betweens" Quilting needles size 8. I love these for peyote work, the eye is large enough for Fireline and the needle is thin but strong so I don’t snap them easily.

5. Clothespin style clip-on goose neck reading light that came free with a book!
