Why blend in when you were born to stand out?

Hi there.

Thanks for popping in.

Great day today.

Very long but also very fruitful and constructive.

Came home to test some delightful new stamps which lovely Linda Williams has designed, and well! I just had to see whether the lineart really was as fine as it looked…

Oh yes. Splendid print on an inky scrap.

This stamp collection is superb.

Wait till you see the rest of the collection – the feathers, the arrow and the peacock himself!

Actually, these will also be available in Groovi format.

If the stamps are this delicate, the Groovi plates will be fantastic.

I know. I’m teasing you again, and no, these stamps aren’t for sale for another month!

We shall be launching them at the NEC, and will be showcasing them on the Live TV Hochanda shows directly from Birmingham.

Linda will be showing off the Groovi plates on TV on the Friday at the NEC, and I shall be bringing on the stamps on the Saturday.

I just wanted to give you a hint as to what is in the pipeline.

And today, Mel came over with another set of phenomenal wildlife stencils. Insanely good. I cannot wait to show you them. There’s one with little squirrels and a hedgehog….

Anyway! Enough teasing.

Time to chillax for an hour. I’ve had my inky fix.

Love and hugs,

Barb

OMG can't wait for these little beauties. That wonder woman Welsh lass is so flipping clever!!

Hi Barbara
Oh you tease! Aren't they beautiful and in stamp and groovi form, you know how to keep everyone happy ( or should I say happy and poor 😂). It always amazes me what you can produce by just using an inky scrap. Enjoy your chill out time, you must be exhausted after your busy week.

Oooooh, very exciting! These new designs look fab. Xxx

Brilliant! Whoop whoop! Exciting innit? Had my first drink of kefir today. Liked it! Xxx

Beware of the kefir. I had a couple of bottles to get going before my grains arrived. I started to take the top off one this morning and the top exploded right off. I now have to clean the kitchen window and blind. I love the flavour lots. I have to ration myself as I am sure I need other ingredients in my diet as well. My first batch of home made kefir is now busy working. xxx Maggie

These look exciting!! Another reason for going to the NEC. Fingers crossed I will be feeling better & I will be able to make it.

Ooooo love peacocks so a stamp version will be amazing. Looking forward to seeing the future releases. Xx

Hi bloggy friends, happy Thursday. Went with my mum to her favourite fabric shop today, I love all the colours and patterns and always have that twinge of sadness that I don't sew so have no need to buy any… Of course I often get round that by buying some and then asking my mum to make me something with them! Xx

Beautiful stamp. I am looking forward to being able to get this in March.

Oh flipping heck Barbara! They look amazing. That Linda Williams is so blooming clever! I can't wait to see and get this collection!
Oooo I feel a colouring exercise coming up!
Love and hugs! Xxx

Confused to blogs liking the ideas of new goodies coming exciting xxxx

From the look of this little sneaky peek there are lots of great things to come Barbara, and the stencils sound wonderful too. x

Yesssssss!!!Hooray, you've made my day, I've asked for a peacock a few times now (when you've asked for suggestions ). OMG I can't wait. This is brilliant. Woo hoo, happy, happy, happy xx😁😁😁😁

So excited!

Some of my favourite things here which I won't be able to resist (hedgehogs, squirrels and also badgers and rabbits so I can't wait for these releases. Keeping my fingers crossed for some Groovi animals at some point too! Also, won't be able to resist the peacock as would love to make my Mum a card with those…I just know I'm going to love them.)
