Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It was a long hot day in the van up here to North Yorkshire. Sandwiched between Dave and Jayne, like a bratwurst in a bun. We landed, caught up with our friends, had a good old chinwag and supper, made a plan for set-up tomorrow; then suddenly I remembered the blog!!! Where does the time go? Where does it go? I hope you don’t mind, but I decided to go back to a year…
Hi there, Bit late today. Have had a busy but productive afternoon, filming short video clips for the new TV channel here in my den. (Spent the morning cleaning it!) Very nice guys. They sure know their stuff! In my head it was rubbish, but they reassured me that the end results would be absolutely fine. That’s what I think about the new TV Channel Hochanda, too. There are lots of things which could be better: the sound, the lighting,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I thought we ought to broach the subject of Christmas today. It’s getting closer, you know! So how about a really easy Fusible Fibre project? First, let’s drag some Grunge paste through the starry stencil on plain black card. Way too perfect. Let’s tear around the wreath! Replace the cleaned stencil over the dry stars, and add some Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar with a make-up sponge. Next step, out with the white fusible…
Hi there! Thank you for popping in. Monday’s blog flowers and trees? Well, I have had a hankering ALL day to get out our Filigraphy Foliage stamps! Do you ever have something in your mind’s eye? All day I was wondering whether the little Clarity Characters could stand on the big leaves, like a sort of fantasy piece. I couldn’t wait to get up here in my little den and see if I could put what was in my head onto…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. What a lovely sunny day it is here in Sussex today! Just had a little memory bubble there… Years ago, we had some issues with emails not getting through, people moaning because we weren’t responding at Clarity, but the emails had never landed in the first place. It was getting pretty bad, so we started tracking the spam and junk files, where things were automatically getting filtered into the spam trays. Lo and behold…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. Saturday’s blog a new technique. And we are having a 40% sale on our Groovi Borders, so I decided to show you a neat way to get coloured parchment. Place the A5 parchment on your Clarity Blending mat. Load your brayer with a dye-based ink colour – I used Sail Boat Blue. Start rolling the brayer back and forth across one end at an angle. Turn your attention to the other end, and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! A little late I know. But I spent the day down in Bognor Regis with Dee, and then took the scenic route home. And I mean THE SCENIC ROUTE. Must have been singing too loudly along with my good friend Dave (aka Bowie), because I suddenly went from doing 80 along the A27 to doing 8 up a mud track!! Not to worry. Had a brill day with Dee. A good old chinwag, lovely…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s blog a blue blog, right? And also, we have launched a GROOVI BORDER SALE 40% off? That’s got to be worth looking at! It will run until Sunday, so I thought I would show you some tricks using them thar borders! Here are Border Plates No. 1 and 2 I am going to use the Groovi Starter Kit and the Nested Squares Plate for this project too….. Ready? Here we go…. Attach the…
Hi there, Welcome to mindful Wednesday! This is where we come together to talk about LIFE, take a look at various coping mechanisms on offer. Where we fill our little survival toolkit with tricks, tips and techniques. Well, this week I’d like to talk about Acceptance. George Orwell once said, “Happiness can only exist in Acceptance” I am so with him on that one! But to really believe that, to accept that as the truth, I suppose we need to check the…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. As promised, it’s the first Tuesday of the month, so… IT’s YOU TUBE TUESDAY!!! And if you are German speaking, – or you just want a laugh, listening to me woffling away in deutsch – then click on the button above and watch the same project in German. Here’s a Groovi Project, simple to make, lovely to give as a gift. I used: The Groovi Starter Kit Borders 1 and 2 Bookmark Pouches Good Scissors…
