Ready to go at a moment's notice...

I always have a beading project with me wherever I go.  I even keep a beading kit in my car...the Girl Scout in me subscribes to the motto "Be prepared". This "go anywhere" tin carries a tiny beading mat, a spool of Fireline, scissors, needles, reading glasses, thread conditioner, and roughly 45 grams of 11/0 Delica beads, 15/0 accent and Charlotte beads.  I've  selected these colors for the next project, which will undoubtedly be another bracelet - my favorite go to piece when it comes to jewelry.  One valuable lesson I've learned when choosing colors is to always throw in a bit of contrasting color...it just seems to make a piece sing!
