Wiped out but feeling Groovi…..

Wiped out but feeling Groovi…..

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by.  Just got in from the TV Show. What a morning! We launched our new Groovi Parchment Craft System. If you watched, thank you. If you invested in us, thank you again. Sold out in half an hour. Now I know you must think “Well, she obviously doesn’t take enough stock” All I can say is, “it isn’t physically possible to make more!” In fact, we have had to buy two more Laser Cutting machines…

Got caught up in Tunbridge Wells with Gracie.  The sun was shining, it was Friday afternoon, folks were sitting outside the coffee shops and pubs. it was actually really lovely! Do you ever think, “where was I this time last week?” Well, this time last week, I was in Houston Texas,  boarding a plane bound for London,  getting all excited…

One man’s weed is another man’s flower…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I can’t stay long either; I have still got quite a lot to do for the TV Show on Sunday, and I was hoping to spend the day with Grace tomorrow, before she heads over to my parents on Saturday, en route to Heathrow. Ah well. A week was what we planned, and a week was what we got! So here we are, being mindful, concentrating on the task at hand focussing on Thursday’s…

Mindful Wednesday – A listed building? But which list?

Mindful Wednesday – A listed building? But which list?

Hello there. Thanks for popping in. Back in England, and the sun is shining today. So I won’t keep you long. This Wednesday Blog is where I delve into the world of Mindfulness. Staying in the Here and Now. Not allowing our minds to drag us into dark, fruitless places. I just want to take you back to last week’s mindful Wednesday, when we talked about the benefits of working with your hands and focussing on the actual job,  be…

YouTube Tuesday – Leafy Corner Interlude

YouTube Tuesday – Leafy Corner Interlude

Hello there. It’s You Tube Tuesday and thank you for popping in! We have just had our 6 year TV birthday, you know. Yep. 7th May 2009. It was a one hour show with Martyn Parker,  and I shall never forget it. Nervous? Terrified would be more apt. Shortly after that we moved to Sunday morning Shows,  and we’ve been there ever since. We sold out of this little leafy corner within minutes on that first show, so I thought it…

We have the cure for jetlag!!!

We have the cure for jetlag!!!

Hi there! I know. Late again.  I will get my act together again from tomorrow. But I’ve locked Wurka and Hollick in the suitcase until then. Just spent an amusing hour with Grace and Dave, watching last month’s TV show.  I very seldom watch myself on telly.  I did do back in the beginning, to see what could be done better. But then I stopped. Not because there was nothing to improve on! Good God!  But I just decided not…

A welcome couch potato…

A welcome couch potato…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in.  Not much artwork going on here today folks! Had a looooong trip home from America.  Don’t know who was more of a fidget-arse – me or Dave! But look who we hooked up with at Heathrow, and brought home? I love it when it works! Grace came in on a Virgin flight from the Big Apple, and landed an hour before us. Straight in the back door, shoes off, sofa dive and snuggled up….

Albuquerque Turkey!

Albuquerque Turkey!

Howdi! Howdo? Took a while to get to you. Been packing and shutting up the house, and now we are at the Albuquerque Airport,  waiting for our flight to Houston, Texas. What a magical place this New Mexico is. The Land of Enchantment. Even the airport is delightful. In fact, they call it the Sunport. Fabulous art everywhere. It’s more like a gallery than an air terminal! What’s even more interesting though, is that although I have been through this…
