Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are having a great weekend? Want to introduce you to two friends: Earle & Gola. They are our Paul’s family actually! I have their permission to tell you about their very brave endeavours… Earle works in the care system. He looks after the elderly. Always takes Gola with him to work, and the residents at the care home love them both for sure. He is such a nice guy. And the little…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Lights, camera, action! I will be on Create & Craft at 9am & 1pm with a brand new and very arty Block Print Alphabet and Numbers stamp set, together with some Wee and Miniature Cats, Dogs, Butterflies, Birds, Fish and Marine Life stamp sets. But my new favourite go to/essential item for these shows is our latest set of 7×7 Abstract Layout Positive & Negative stencils. Brilliant to use. Butterflies and birds, fish and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I hope you can join me on Create & Craft at 5pm for all things in the SHAC – Stay Happy And Creative. This month I am will be showcasing those fabby mandala designs we created together in the SHAC back in September and October 2020!! It took us 8 sessions to complete the designs! No wonder! Wait till you see them as stamps! Do you remember? I will also be showcasing our Coronation…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was getting ready for the Friday TV shows on Create & Craft, 9am and 1pm, enjoying the wonderful art samples which the clever Clarity Design Team have prepared for us, when this super duper artwork jumped out at me. It’s by Debbie McMullin – clever girl. She has used the new overlay stencils I shall be showcasing, the new Block Print alphabet I shall be showcasing AND not only the WEE cats n dogs…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Yep, it is Tuesday again and as you will know by now, every Tuesday we launch a favourite Design of the Week with 30% off, plus club discount, to celebrate our 30th year in business. What a lovely collection of art, illustrated by our friend Mel Turner! Our feathered friends are original, arty and timeless. From geese to wise old owls, from kingfishers to cock-a-doodle-doo’s! We even have nuthatches and moorhens. Very, very lovely….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Before I carry on watching “The Diplomat”, a Netflix Series which has me hooked, let me peep out of the window with you, and show you a thing of beauty which stands in the garden here… What a wonderful magnolia! And such a glorious splash of pink! They grow so well round here. We planted this one about four years ago, and it has shot up. The gardens round here are of full of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Rainy Sunday, so a perfect day for crafting. Pottery this morning. Made a start on the Totem Pole. This could take a while, but hey! Who’s in a rush?? You just need a little vision and a lot of patience… Oh. And a ruler and pencil… Remember the sketch? Well, this is the base piece. That’s 6 hours so far. But who’s counting? It’s a good job I don’t have to make a living…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s time to get my dancing shoes on and head on up to Peterborough for the Create & Craft 20th Birthday Party! Dave isn’t able to join in because of work appointments, but Paul and I are always up for a piece of cake and a party! Lots of people who have been involved over the years have been invited, so it will be nice to see some familiar faces. It’s ironic really. I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We have a posh Boardroom at Clarity Towers. Very swish. Problem is we don‘t actually have a board! Unless you count Dave and me! But it does come in very handy when we are having business meetings, as in Bank Manager type meetings. Mind you, Dan our Bank Manager is a great mate, never misses our Christmas Lunches, and when we do have a meeting it’s usually at Bill’s for breakfast! Nonetheless… Today we…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I must be feeling better! Rose with the lark this morning, made the bed, emptied the dishwasher AND wrote this month’s Club newsletter – all before 8am! Feeling energized because this afternoon was the first time back at Pot pot pottery class! It was so good to see the ladies again! A proper affectionate welcome back. I can only speak for myself, but why oh why do I always think people don’t like me,…
