Hi everyone! Paul here, standing in for Barb whilst she has a bit of “time out” with the lovely Dave. I thought I would take this opportunity to give a shout out about the wonderful Clarity Open Days in 2019. In June we have a brand new venue, Ditton Community Centre near Maidstone and in September we return to the beautiful setting of Tennants Auction House in Leyburn. So what is an Open Day?An open day is all about celebrating…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today is Tuesday, so you know what that means… Yes, that’s right. YouTube! This week, I’m using the oh-so-brilliant Earth has Music Three-way overlay stamps to make a cool piece of artwork, with a beautiful sentiment. I hope you enjoy this quick step-by-step video. As ever, products used in the video will be reduced for one week only, until next Tuesday’s video, in fact! So, if you liked these and maybe didn’t get to…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got in from the TV studios myself. Cream crackered, but very relieved that it all went so swimmingly again! What a weekend! And what about those floral ABC Groovi plates?!? Good grief! I had a good feeling about them, but boy! Didn’t see them flying out quite that fast! Thank you so much if you watched and invested in us; it is always a huge compliment when we sell out, and even more…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Now I have had to abandon Operation Ally Pally, and turn my attention to the TV shows today. 2pm – 4pm, it’s stamps and stencils. then at 6pm, it’s Groovi Floral ABC time! With all this running around, the weight should be dropping off me! Not so though. Trouble is, I keep eating chocolate to stay awake! Mmmm. That’s my excuse – and I’m sticking to it!
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. We were up at Ally Pally today. It’s our local show, if you like. An hour away from home, but we’ve never missed it. What a fab day! So many good friends and familiar faces. Busier than it has been in years. So while we’re pedalling away up in Wood Green, London, I thought it might be nice to give you a taste of what’s coming up tomorrow on HOCHANDA. Between 2pm and 4pm…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Not one blog but two today! Before I head on up to Ally Pally, I must tell you about a couple of special TV hours today. At 12 noon and 4 pm, our Maria will be showcasing a fantastic new clockfaces Groovi plate, together with a clocks and cogs pair. Hey hey! be careful when you say that one! You may offend the Dutchman! She’s also go some beautiful London Stamps. We just thought…
Hi there, Happy Friday! We are off up to the palace to visit the Queen today. I wish!! No no . We are off up to London in the van to set up our stand at Alexandra Palace! That’s more realistic, innit! It’s a big operation, getting up there nowadays. We’ve got so much clobber! Back in the day, when we just sold stamps I remember being able to set up in exactly one and a half hours on the…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s been a long time coming, this Groovi floral alphabet. But it’s coming together very nicely now. 26 pretty little letters, each depicting flowers pertaining to their letter. As you can see though, we have added upper and lower case letters to each plate too. Paul and I are putting the finishing touches on the demos ready for Sunday evening, and today I think I’d like to show you the quintessence of teamwork. A…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Paul has just left, after a long session prepping the TV shows on Sunday and Monday. Dave is keeping supper simmering on the stove until I call it a day up here. Linda is up in Peterborough with Rob, preparing the TV set, in readiness for the Pergamano Show at 8am tomorrow morning. She is doing all 3 hours on her own, just with a presenter, so that I am able to get on…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I did a little youtube for you, using those flower stamps that I drew recently, with the stone walls and log piles and such. Remember? They were so popular! We’ve only just about caught about with production!! As always, the things I used in the video will be reduced in price for the week, until the next YouTube is posted next Tuesday. If you like these stamps, but were…
