Thursday’s blog is always blue…

Hi there Been busy today, prepping for a TV show on Sunday 3-5pm. I do hope you will be able to watch! These new Poppet stamps are rather delightful!

October 1st 2014…

Hi there. Tuesday’s blog – and the hours roll back, right? So I thought I’d roll back the hours to 10 years ago. Do you know what YOU were doing 10 years ago today?

My photos tell me even more accurately and irrefutably what I was up to…

Hi there Last day of September. Had the whole of September off work. Am just sitting in front of a log fire with Dave, watching Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse Gone Fishing.

Enjoyed hanging out with Paul and Jazz and Jim and Jilly. Got loads of planning done….

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I got caught up making little cards today, out of the new 4×4 inch card blanks and envelopes that are pouring out of the Pinky Gray printroom at the moment, in readiness for our 31st Birthday weekend on Create & Craft! I used a print I had made using the new leafy layering stencils, which wasn’t very exciting as a whole. In fact, I didn’t even bother taking a photo of it. Yep. That…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Trip down Memory Lane it is then! I scrolled back through my photos to a year ago today. And lookie lookie! Teabags! Remember this? I do love our Linocut stamps too!

Let’s finish that step by step.

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Sunday. Dave and I decided to work this morning, “to get ahead of the week ahead” as we say! He was heading for our Clarity Printroom, to die cut 5×5 inch scored white card blanks on the old Heidelberg press. They’re for next Saturday’s new Card-stitch packs. Conversation ran like this… Me? I just had to empty all the demo boxes from last Friday’s TV shows, and make a start on what’s coming…
