There is nothing more frustrating than picking out the colours of beads you want to use, pouring them out into neat little piles and finding that because at some point you saw some lovely unbranded beads at a really great price, and bought them without thinking why.   I started to make another Fun Floral Necklace curtesy of Kelly Dale from Upthebeadedpath, and discovered the sizing of the 8/0 Heamatite seed beads I  have in my stash are all over the place.  Small, big, wonky, long, chunky are just a few of the different shapes.  I had been trying to pick out beads of roughly the same size, but have decided to give up with a bah humbug attitude. I have only myself to blame, there are reasons why some beads are a lot cheaper than others, and sometimes it really isn't a money saving option at all when you find that around half the beads are not fit for purpose. So my first Note To Self is... DON'T BE CHEAP. Toddle Pip...  JanieB. Xxx
