Hi there! TGIF!! It will be good to slow down and get the house ready for when the kids come home next week. Paul did a cracking job on Hobbymaker with these 3 brand new smashing Groovi plates. I drew them as stamps a while ago, and now we’ve made them into Groovi. FIND HERE They sit beautifully alongside the Art Nouveau Collection we already have. I’ve long admired the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and it was a real…
Hi there, HAPPY NATIONAL CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY! What’s it all about Alfie? Well…it’s for SAVE THE CHILDREN. Simply put, it’s a day to wear festive jumpers to raise money for children in the UK and worldwide. Well, at Clarity, we put our Christmas Jumpers AND our thinking caps on – and we have come up with a perfect plan… Remember Jim’s old Christmas Jumper? Well, we shrank it! It’s so brilliant now! In fact we have speed knitted 6 new Christmas…

Whether you‘re a parcher or a doodler, there‘s nothing quite like this brilliant uplighter tablet. Super slim too. CLICK HERE I’ve just checked stock levels of these, and we only have 22 left. Black storage bags have sold out, but we still have a few Lightwaves left, which is great. Just levelling with you. If…
Hi there! Sorry for the late blog! It‘s been a day, I can tell you! I was just about to climb the apples and pears here at Mum‘s place, after a lovely evening in her company – and it occurred to me!! I haven‘t posted a countdown blog!!! No no no. We can‘t have that!! I will not fall now, with just 19 days to go!! So blog on my phone I shall! Not the easiest , but hey! I‘ve…

Hi there Big day today! We’re unveiling our brand-new Friends, Sisters & Angels collection. Our workshop guests in November were the first to meet them, and they were genuinely impressed. They very kindly kept our new idea under wraps until we were ready to share it with the world — thank you, dear friends. xxx We’ve developed something completely new and different, designed to give our friends, sisters, and angels (that’s you) many hours of creative joy. Allow me to…
Hi there Happy Saturday. Happy Feast of St Nicholas Day! Did you put your shoe out yesterday evening? Was it full of sweets and nuts this morning? When we were kids, our Mum always upheld this German tradition. Well, St Nicholas is celebrated in many countries, not just Germany. Dates back to the 4th century, apparently. Anyhow, it was always very exciting in our home as children. I remember putting my little shoe outside – fair and square – and…

CLICK HERE to find Here is some lovely artwork too, to uplift and inspire… If you had to pick a favourite, which would YOU choose? And let’s…
Hi there Great gifts or what? There’s nothing like a handmade gift. And small is good too. Something that firstly doesn’t take yonks to make, and secondly doesn’t intrude. You know what I mean. I think most of us crafters love to make for friends and family, but many of us also worry that our work might not be to the other person’s liking. I really get it. My guess is that’s why we make cards and not wall hangings!…
