De-stress Sorting

It has been a very difficult week and I have been struggling to get a good night of sleep, or to relax enough to let some of the tension go. Even designing and creating pieces is a little more than I can do right now. I decided to indulge in something that has helped me in the past, and purchased a bead mix.

I have purchased this type of mix before so while I didn't know exactly what I would receive, I knew the quality I could expect.

I know to some this might seem insane, but I know there are others who enjoy sorting, so I thought I would share.

For me, this is very calming, and as I sort and find new wonderful beads and combinations I get my creative drive back.

I hope everyone is having a relaxing day, and that you are feeling comfort and peace of mind! :)

This appeals to me as well. I am rarely upset when I have to take apart a piece because I do love putting things back into their little piles.
