making molehills

i am busy trying to clean up the work that has accumulated over my work table. 
last year, my seed bead collections began to grow quickly and the smaller 4mm and 6mm beads that are used with seed beads grew as well.
of course, i spend a lot of time learning new stitches and this means practice and many restarts and do-overs and half finished little dealie-bobbers with a yard or so of thread hanging off of them…. these accumulate like gerbils.  right now i am in the middle of making a butterfly pillow and i have to stop and search for parts.
i will explain.  i got a butterfly with prongs on it for making "cold-connections".  i did not want to begin learning to cut and finesse copper sheet metal, so i made a one inch square of peyote stitch and poked the blades of the butterfly through the stitching and folded down the blades so it was anchored to the beading. i made the back of the pillow and zipped stitched them to cover the blades and give the pillow effect to the butterfly.  it got a few more embellishments and made a pretty neat summer necklace.  i used a picot stitch to make a neck chain. 
i cannot find where i put the butterflies.
