I have the Yellow Botswana Agate freeform pieces, and they REALLY look like lemon slices. I thought making a “pick” with them would be fun, and might get me to stop hoarding them and make something instead.

So hoarding is a common thing with beaders?
Whew! I am so relieved to know I’m not the only one that does this.
Now what do we do about it?

Beautiful choice of beads. It is bright and cheerful, just the thing to make a dreary winter day seem brighter..

LOL, I also thought I was alone in my hoarding habits. I always feel so selfish when I end up having to buy at least two of my favorites so that I won’t mind using one of them in a gift.

I LOVE this pick. My first thought is that now I really want a slice of lemon pie.

Ah…y’all have made me feel better about my hoarding. I have certain items that I take out to design with but put away again because I love them too much to just “do something” with them. Then, I have the designs that I’ve made with some hoarded fave and set the price on them high enough that the fave can slip reluctantly out of my hands when someone else falls in love.

I finally stopped “hoarding” my Yellow Botswana Agate Flat Freeform Pieces, and made a necklace:

They really do look like lemon slices. Very pretty. hoarding is the name others give to our stashes when they just don’t understand. Its not hoarding, I am just releasing them from captivity. Which reminds me – LB those other glass beads could use a really good home somewhere. Hint contest hint?
