Oh Irma!

Oh Irma!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Thought it was time to come away to my little haven above the garage, and spend an afternoon in thought and prayer. In the wake of the shocking hurricanes which have been battering little islands and huge states across the pond for days and weeks since Harvey ripped into Texas, it feels inappropriate in my heart  to be blogging about kingfishers today. I am sure you agree. So here’s a little canvas I made…

A brilliant day out…

A brilliant day out…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got in from a fabulous day with Mum and Dad. We just had the BEST time. Caught a coach with their local community and neighbours to Runnymede on the Thames. Went on a boat ride up the river, past Windsor Castle. This isn’t Windsor Castle by the way! But check out the Sunflowers!!! Beautiful warm sunshine all the way Had lunch on the boat. Then the coach took us to Savill Gardens,  where…

Another bright Idea just around the Corner….

Another bright Idea just around the Corner….

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Did your day go well? Ours did. A few of us from the office had an excellent meeting this afternoon. We took ourselves off to the lovely Spa Hotel for lunch.  We broke ground on new ideas, made plans and generally got some Clarity on the next direction. Sometimes you just have to step away from the plate  (the Groovi plate??) to see the next move. Feeling much more aligned now. Great things on…

Makedo (Pronounced Mac-kay-doe)

Hi there, Can’t stop long. On my way out the door again, to a meeting. WHAT A RUN AROUND! Ah well. Just for today, I shall be grateful I CAN run around. When I shot home from work this evening, fighting fit – (fighting for breath and fit to drop!), I was sprung like a coil, I can tell you. Should have left half an hour earlier, but got caught up and then was scrambling to make a supper date…

Peace on Earth. PLEASE !!!!

Peace on Earth. PLEASE !!!!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in again. In case you missed this demo on TV yesterday,  here’s a simple stamping step by step on our new Indian Summer parchment. Using a Black Archival ink pad, stamp the lovely  Winter Wonderland Stamp  onto the FRONT  of the designer parchment sheet of your choice. Look for an opening where this stamp would sit beautifully…. Add Babbi and Dad. Note I didn’t call the fawn Bambi. Too too sad. Babbi will be fine….

Monday Groovi Bauble Project.

Monday Groovi Bauble Project.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And thanks for watching our shows if you did, and thanks for your custom, if you decided what we had on offer  was for you xxx Took over 6 hours to get home. M11 traffic. Ah well, the lorry driver whose truck caught fire probably had a worse day than most of us bringing up the rear of the procession.  Here’s a bauble step by step with a difference. Inspired by lovely Linda Williams…

Sunday Snowflake

Sunday Snowflake

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Cor blimey!Just did the launch hour on HOCHANDA  and wanted to share the first demo with you, which was intended – not to baffle you with science – but to explain the basic concept behind our Duets.  It’s very very simple, but my word!  The possible options when using the two plates in combination are far too numerous to count.  Let’s start with a simple frame on clear parchment. Wipe BOTH sides of the…
