Trust the process.

Trust the process.

Hi there

Thanks for popping in. Just got in from Day 1 of our Clarity retreat. I think the projects we covered were well received. Most people seemed pretty happy with their day’s work.

I’m always rather apprehensive before a workshop, especially when there’s a brand new technique on the menu. But to be honest, whilst it’s true to say you can’t please all the people all the time, the results speak for themselves . And when I took a stroll around the room to check in on the guests and the finished art at the end of the day, I was bowled over. Absolutely super effort.

Day 2 tomorrow. More creative play, new techniques, tricks n tips. I’m really looking forward to it. Such a great bunch of crafters and friends! It’s so good to spend time with these people. It’s when you see the sense of accomplishment in their eyes – there’s nothing like it.

The Collage Process works!!!!! It’s one thing when you manage it yourself; it’s another thing to a room full of people nail it !! Was it everybody’s cup of tea? NOTHING is everybody’s cup of tea – EVER. But yeah. I got pretty good feedback from the room when I read it. There was a bit of “the windows are a bit fiddly”, and Fran with a Plan cracked me up when she announced “All my doors are round the back!”

But they all agreed with me:

You just have to trust the process

Love always,

  1. Still laughing at ‘my doors are around the back !’ I might have to use that ! I wonder if I can get away with that for a lighthouse, just had email to say mine is it on its way. It will be out of my comfort zone a bit but looking forward to it. Glad you had a great day and I’m sure tomorrow will be the same. X

  2. Pleased for you that the day went well. Always a bit fraught before presenting something new.
    I’m sure too the crafter’s had a fun day learning something new and are looking forward to tomorrows challenges.

  3. Very glad the day went well for you- especially after all the hard work the Clarity team put into it! Bet you’ll sleep well tonight!

  10. Had to smile with ”my doors are round the back” – glad the day went well for you & by the sounds of it all the crafters to as those that have commented are looking forward to another day.
    I have also had my email to say my pack for October is on its way so look forward to seeing what it is all about !! Promise I won’t look too closely but will put it somewhere safe – I will tell OH where I have put it just in case I forget but next to the Alphabet colouring charts will be a good idea.
    Have fun tomorrow x
