In the middle of all the fun I've been having with my colour challenge I still have to get on with real work.

I need to bead a project for the next issue of Bead magazine and although I've already made it, I've decided to bead it again using colours inspired by a photo I took at the beach in Southwold.

You can see more about how the palette developed on my colour challenge blog.

I'm also working hard on my next newsletter which will go out soon as well as two new sets of instructions which will appear at the same time- with a newsletter subscribers- only discount.

Had a good night last night with a visit to Belgos and then the  Round House for a reading by one of the funniest writers around- David Sedaris. He is the only author that I have had to ban myself from reading in public as I was so emabrrased by the amount of times I literally laughed out loud on the tube.
