The ups are the book is 'this close' to going to print. This means that soon it will be here with me and then winging its way to everyone who ordered it.

Another up is my brand new pricing gun, which I am in love with, as it makes labelling bead tubes and bags so much easier. I'm merrily working away on tubing up all the beads for the 'My Favourite Delicas Pack' and they will ship very soon (with a book if you ordered one). I'm please to say there are only a few of these kits left and so I will repeat the style of pack in a few months.

The downs are discovering that I have partially torn my achilles tendon. This is beyond annoying, and painful, and even worse is that I didn't even do it at skating, merely slipping on some wet decking 6 weeks ago. It hurt as soon as I did it but I did my best to ignore the pain until recently I realised I was in daily agony and struggling to walk (of course I have skated in all this time).

So now do I do the sensible thing and rest on it not skating for a few months or so I continue as I am and see what happens...
