beading setup

I went to Hobby Lobby today for some miscellaneous beading supplies. Everything still fits in the one big container, so that's good.

I stumbled into the ideal setup for adding beads to knitting. I've got a glass custard cup sitting in a round Glad plasticware container. The wee crochet hook and cable needle stand between the containers. It's large enough to wedge against the chair and provide a stable platform for beading. (My eyesight isn't good enough to spear beads sitting on the end table. Too far away.) I'm delighted, because it just fell together and it's perfect for my needs.
