Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and had a good weekend. The weekend was a bit of a blur for me after Friday’s TV shows on the new Create and Craft. It was a very long day, left the house at 3am and with a few overnight road closures and diversions arrived just before 6am! Left the studio at 3pm and ran into all the normal Friday afternoon traffic and arrived back at the house just…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well. I seem a little out of sync this week. I think it must be staying in a strange house, not that Barb and Dave’s house is strange! I suppose it is what you are used to, at least I don’t have to worry about jet lag! Ragna and Erik have got used to the new routine (still not sure which is Ragna and which is Erik!) although I know that…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Don’t panic, I haven’t started writing in code! I thought I would shine a light on the additions to this weeks W.I.G.I.G (When It’s Gone, It’s Gone!)

Hi everyone, Paul here.I hope you are all well. Strange weather in this neck of the woods! This morning we had heavy rain at Clarity Towers and now it is glorious sunshine – as Barb always say “If you don’t like the English weather, then just a wait a minute!” Anyway, I thought I would give you the heads up, just in case you didn’t know – the lovely Tina Cox will be on the new Create and Craft tomorrow…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Yep. The world is going mad, and all we can do is keep calm and carry on crafting!! Whether you make cards for Ukraine, or knit socks for the neighbours, it doesn’t matter – JUST MAKE SOMETHING! My distraction, my calm place, my serenity is in clay. Although I haven’t had much time for pottery lately – that will change again – I did manage to pinch a little trio of pots last weekend….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Life’s a Bowl of Cherries…. Mmmmmm…Ya think? I decided to investigate, and find out where that saying comes from. Originating as the title of a song (1931) by Lew Brown (lyrics) and composer Ray Henderson, it was performed by lots of favourites, from Doris Day to …lookie lookie… Judy Garland. I thought we could take a look at the lyrics while she sings them to us… Life is just a bowl of cherriesDon’t take it…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Spent the afternoon with Tina Cox today. It was so good to catch up with her. Haven’t seen each other for years! Isn’t that crazy? Well, she’s back in the Arty Saddle for sure! We firmed up arrangements for her two TV upcoming TV shows on Saturday 21st. (2pm on CreateandCraft Extra, and 5pm on CreateandCraft main channel). She has designed a little set of brand new Groovi Parchlets for us. They are delightful!…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Here in the UK we ’re gearing up to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. 70 years on the Throne, in service to the country, is an exceedingly long time, isn’t it? Whatever your opinion re the Royal Family, you have to admit that is one hell of an achievement. Seventy years. My oh my. She could write the proverbial book for sure! I would love to write it for her! Poor woman lost…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been clearing a path through my Craft studio in readiness for our Craftalong this evening. What a mess!! So much gear!! And all of it not where it shoud be! So I’ve been walking miles up here, putting it back where it belongs! Blimey! You don’t realise how prolific you are until you stop and take stock of what you’ve been up to in the past few months! Then I prepared the Craftalong, got…
