And it's that time of year again where the blog is dragged out again, (huffing and puffing) from the back cupboard under the stairs.  I have no idea why it hides in such an inaccessible place most of the  year, it's really very friendly once I dust the cobwebs off and talk to it a little.

And off course it's that time of the year again when Lori Anderson is hosting her annual Bead Soup Blog Party - this year it's the 8th to be run and my 2nd participating.  Last year I partnered Adlinah from Singapore, this year it's much closer to home with Tania Hagen from Pelima Designs in Gisborne, New Zealand.

Here is the soup I received from Tania :)

Looking forward to designing with these.  

Now how did Tania know my two favourite colours are red and black?
