Dear Glinda,
Very yummy; I sympathise with the many pairs scenario. I've got to the stage of leaving reading glasses at the computer at home, a pair at the computer in the day job, a pair by my bedside for nighttime reading, and then very close-up glasses for making at my "jewellery station" (the sofa in the living room, or the kitchen table, lol!), as well as keeping in the car prescription distance-only for driving, both tinted and untinted; then there is my regular pair of bifocals, my "everyday glasses". Between the corneal graft and my pronounced astigmatism in that eye, varifocals do not work for me, and each lens for that eye costs at least $200! I found that I was causing myself all sorts of neck pain (both literally and figuratively!) trying to find the right spot to look through the bifocals for computer, and was looking OVER or UNDER them when wirewrapping etc. Luckily, I have a fantastic (female) optician.
Glinda, I've been busy between tax returns and gearing up for craft fairs, so of course I have been looking through my bead stash. I see that stocks are running low for ye.
When I have more time in January or February, there is quite a bit of my early purchases that I can weed out and send on. It takes a while to get to that stage of seeing one may never use particular beads one has purchased, I think I'm there now!
Love and Joy
Mary V. xxx
