81 Days to Christmas – Launching the Next Online 1-2-3 Course!
Hi there.
We’re so pleased to announce the launch of the fourth Online 123 Course in our popular Parchment learning series!
This afternoon at 3pm on Clarity TV, Paul and Louise will be introducing the brand-new course, guiding you through what’s included, what you’ll learn, and why it’s such a great next step in your parchment craft journey.
Perforating & Picot Cutting

Our Foundation, Whitework, and Colouring courses are already available online, and they’re not going anywhere — they’ll always be ready and waiting for you. So, if you’re just starting out, it’s a really good idea to take the courses in the order they’ve been presented. That way, you’ll build your skills step by step, gaining confidence as you go.
And if you’ve already completed the first three? Perfect timing — you’re ready to dive straight into Course 4: Perforating and Picot Cutting . Hosted by the ever-talented Louise, this new module will also expand on the techniques you’ve already learned, building your skill set to take your parchment work to the next level.
Louise will be using the same Christmas plates- Festive Frame & Sentiments A6 Square Groovi Plate Collection – as were used in the last colouring course, which is great! Now she’ll guide you through perforating, picot cutting – and everything in between! CLICK HERE TO FIND

Take a look at this beautiful artwork by our ever clever art team. It will inspire you.










You know how it goes — sometimes all it takes is one new trick or idea to get the inspiration flowing again. That’s why I love our Parchment 1-2-3 series. Each course takes you step by step, building your confidence and adding new skills along the way. And now the next one is ready to go! If you’ve already done the earlier courses, this will take you a little further. If not, don’t worry — they’re all still there, ready when you are. Either way, it’s the perfect chance to spark new ideas and keep enjoying the parchment journey with us.
So, whether you’re catching up from the beginning or joining us live today, don’t miss the launch of this exciting next chapter. CLICK HERE TO FIND
Tune in at 3pm on Clarity TV, and let Paul and Louise show you what’s in store.
Bip the Bear will also be in attendance!






Dave and I are taking a week out of the office. We are going on a course ourselves – a chair making course, up on the forest! It was our Christmas present to each other last year. I’ll let you know how it goes! Last night, we were having a bacon sandwich for tea, and enjoying it thoroughly. I was sat opposite Dave at the kitchen table.
“This time next week, we’ll be sitting on our new chairs”, I said.
Dave said nothing. Just leaned over to the left and carried on eating. It was very funny.
I may be away a-whittling, but the 100 days to Christmas blog will be continuing its countdown! If you haven’t already signed up to receive this blog straight to your inbox, please do!
Love and Clarity

Chair making sounds interesting have fun and more importantly enjoy the week xx
I once made a three legged stool in a forest when I was doing a Forest School Leaders course many years ago. It was one of the best things I ever did (the course, not the stool 🤣). I hope your chairs turn out well but I know you’ll enjoy it !
Enjoy your week.
Sounds fab! Enjoy your week. xx 🌸🌼🌺
Have a great time next week, Dave leaning to the left did make me smile – as if you would make a wonky chair 😂😂.
Will be watching this afternoon to see what Louise & Paul have to show us. I must finish the colouring course – got side tracked with packing & sorting my craft room.
Barb, enjoy your Forest Retreat with Dave, a week out of the office will be good for both of you, and a great chance to bring some inner peace by being creative. And remember, on ….
Some enchairted evening,
You will see your soulmate,
You will see your soulmate,
Across a whittled seat!
🤣👍🏻
Good one Ken !
Bip bear and the course sat waiting for me to hit buy later today. I’ll join Louise and Paul later.
Have a lovely week and look forward to seeing the results.
Xx
When you go down to the woods next week, take care, just in case BIP the bear is attending a teddy bears picnic. I’m sure you will both have a great time, looking forward to seeing the results. I already do Groovi, but have so enjoyed the previous 123 courses, as they help me to improve. I will be joining the new one, but that will be later in the month. Off to put the washing out now, with a few extra pegs to anchor it on the line!! xx
