66 Days to go – Christmas Rounds Stencils
Hi there
The weather is certainly changing here in the South East of England. Much needed rain. We saw the huge lorries bringing water to fill up the local reservoirs last week, and we still have an official drought. Bonkers. I have to keep my thoughts in today; otherwise I get anxious. My job is to stay focussed on steering Clarity through the storm. These are uncertain times, and I for one benefit greatly from getting out of my head and getting with my hands. Yesterday, I spent a few hours in my little pottery room. I worked in silence, listening to the rain and wind outside. It felt safe.
Two grogged porcelain platters and 3 quirky hand-built pots later, I was calm, and had a plan for the week.
A Plan?? She needs a plan! It gives her something to hang on to. You understand.
- 10 am today, THE SHAC. Stream from home, then go to work.
- Janice is coming in to Clarity, for a 2pm show. Paul will present and assist.
- Meet with Jazz, and move the Open Day workshop design into prototype.
- Finish the Stencil project for the November Club. Write up instructions and draft layout.
So that’s my TO DO list. Of course, there’s the business of the business too, which underpins all this lovely design work, but I won’t bore you with that!
One thing is certain: Christmas is 66 days away! I’ve picked a smashing little set of festive stencils to bring to your attention today.
Our Autumn Sale is well underway, so this little package of fabulous creative potential is HALF PRICE. Check this out:
This Sale is going to run until next Sunday. We will endeavour to make to order, even when we have sold out of things, but we cannot guarantee it.
Here’s a little Stencil artwork to inspire you…
Looking at our website, we really do have a fantastic selection of original and beautiful designs. Stamps, stencils, Groovi. Quite something. If you have half an hour, why not make a brew, and just go for a virtual walk through the pages of our collection? Tell me below, which is your favourite design? Like your all time favourite, go to, always on your desk kinda design?
Mine? I have a lot. I really do, depending on what exactly I plan to make. But if I had to pick my Desert island stash, mmmm…. HERE
Like I said, half price for a week. We really appreciate your support.
Love and Clarity,

Placed a little order. After the wonderful workshop at the weekend decided I needed a few more alcohol ink colours. I have so many stamps and stencils had to be selective in choosing a new set but thank you for the sale and I will
Be able to have another background making session to
Get prepared for crafting in the winter months
Thank you for the sale Barbara, I enjoyed a cuppa tea and a browse last night and placed an order. I love adding to my stash, although sometimes I think I’m more of a collector than a maker! 🤣🤣
My favourites, especially at this time of year is the ‘twas the night collection, and I love the Güd guys and gals too. Jane x 🌸🌼🌺
No favourites really because I love them all.
There are lots of favourites for me but Stencil club #133 has got me hooked at the moment. Going on all my Christmas cards this year, just in the background to make you think, there is something there isn’t there. Doesn’t always have to be in your face but looks great like that too. Compiling my order as we speak. Lots to choose from. xxx
Just wondering what this stencil is please? X
Good morning, pouring here and I’ve had to drop our Mikey at the Cat Clinic for an investigation in his ear and more weight loss so I need a bit of distraction. At 19 you have to expect things going wrong but it’s not easy. I’ve been looking through a lot of old stamps I have that no longer exist – marvelling at how well they stamp as I’ve never used some of them ! X
I got the items on my wish list to be going on with! (thanks for the wish list – can I download another somewhere please?)
Fave stamp = the cat on the books!
Love
