...To survive fire-eating then then almost instantly be taken down by food poisoning.

I have spent most of this week recovering, and reading all your kind emails and messages in response to my blog post on copyright- thank you all! I am still replying to everyone, and it might take a little while so sorry about that, but will post some of the interesting comments I have had just as soon as I can think straight again.

Now that I'm up and about, kind of, I'm back to work and this time in a nice and colourful way with the launch of my brand my Delica beads selection pack. As before I'm keeping the exact beads a secret but be assured there is absolutely, of course, no overlap with the first kit and this one has a different range of beads with a different feel. Lots of metallics and lustres with some great neutrals and then some brights for a bit of contrast. I was delighted last time to get so many emails from those of you who bought the pack and found that there were so many beads you didn't already own. I guess that's a good result from my owning so many Delicas!

As before this is a very limited edition pack and once it's gone, it's gone. You can see more details here.

I have done no beading this week at all but have a new version of my Beaded Frames needing photographing so hope to get to that very soon, along with a brand new newsletter within the next few days. Back to work it is then!
