Hello there! Happy Leap Year Monday!Thank you for popping in. Monday’s Blog is trees and flowers, so how about a very simple card, showcasing one of our best garden stampsets? Very trying morning at the office. So before I do my 400 plates a day – it’s best to retreat into my little Clarity den and have half an hour of art. Clears the mind and flushes out all the crud. Here’s a 7″ x 7″ ink pad scrap from my…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday? Had a quick coffee with Paul this morning, made a plan for next week, (yikes) and then got back to cleaning and packing Groovi Plates! I have set myself 400 daily. Every little helps. Dave has been at work baking them all weekend too. Sometimes, the only way to get the job done is to do it. So to today’s step by step. It’s from last week’s TV shows….
Hi there. Good of you to drop in this Saturday! I’ve emptied the fridge, (which was starting to resemble a science project); I’ve been to Waitrose and filled it again. So now I’ve had my domestic fix, we can move on! On Thursday, when I was on HOCHANDA, I showed you a piece of artwork combining Stamps and Groovi work. Maria’s been doing this beautifully for months; I just took a while to catch up! I really like the look….
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in today. Thanks also for watching HOCHANDA yesterday. You have to admit, it is getting good. I love it up there. The presenters are all so delightful. It was great to be back with Leonie too. About blimming time. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Today’s the first day I have stopped for a while now. It’s quite important from time to time, don’t you agree? To stop and reassess the situation? Hang on, let’s…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I’m busy at the studios today. 11am 3pm and 5pm. Hope you are able to join me! HOCHANDA.COM Here’s one of the projects I am hoping to complete in the second hour, using the Cockerel and Hen stampset (complete with masks) and our new Jigsaw Puzzle blanks. So cool to do! There are loads of pics, which a pretty self-explanatory really. Rather than read the steps, say them in your head, as if you…
Hi there. Mindful Wednesday today. Well I have been scrambling all day to get ready for tomorrow, doing battle with bull, and letting it get to me too. Then Wurka and Hollick dived in, because they saw an opportunity to redo the lounge. So quite frankly, I doubt there’s much I can bring to the party today, other than a card. Or something. Sometimes it’s best just to switch off and get with the hands. Here’s a little something which…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! It’s Tuesday and the sun is shining through the trees. I came away from the NEC last night, to get home and crack on with TV prep. Thursday 11am 3pm and 5pm. Those are the 3 three hours I have to prepare. Yikes!!! So here’s a step by step I plan on doing, which I have obviously done! I weally weally have to quack on, so please forgive me for wobbing the Telly Stash….

Hi there! Early morning start here! Bad internet connection here at the B&B. The set up at the NEC was arduous, but the end result was so cool. As Jim said at 9pm as we were leaving the building, “That’s the best stand we’ve ever made!” Check this out!!! The whole stand from a distance This area of the stand containing our lovely stencils and stamps This part of the stand containing all things Groovi The stand looks amazing! Dave…
Hi there. Good of you to stop by. We are setting up the stand at the NEC today, for the UK Trade Show. So I can’t stop long. Here’s the other step by step I did a while ago in the project club, for you to try. It’s very easy, but very effective. Try it! First we need a mask. Draw a line, and cut it out. Masking tape round all 4 sides of our stencil card. Place the mask,…
