Hi there! Nice of you to drop in. I’ve been packing things ready for TV tomorrow.  Checking, double-checking. Honestly, I waste so much time going over stuff, to be sure to be sure.  But then again, that means I can relax more  on a 2 hour live tv show, safe in the knowledge that I’ve got at least 2 of everything I need,  and at least 1 of loads I don’t need.  Saturday’s Blog a new technique, right? Well, now…

It all depends where you stand…

Hello there! Thanks for popping in. On Wednesday’s Blog, we look at art from the heart; not so much WHAT we do, but WHY we do it. And today, two words have surfaced in my mind: CREATIVITY and POSITIVITY. Why do we crafters spend every spare penny  on inks, paints, papers and craft tackle?  And every spare minute  making cards,  making art,  being creative? Why do we strive to master artful techniques, go to workshops to learn more? Why oh…

Hello there. Thanks for popping in. What a beautiful day here in Kent & Sussex today! The colours are pretty spectacular, aren’t they? So I thought I would blog a painted card.

Let’s keep it simple this evening, and stick to card. Which card? Our 7″…
