Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. I think DROP is the word of the day. The kettle’s on because I need a DROP of Rosie Lee. The sun’s pouring through the window here – and life is good. Friday’s blog a private peek. Well, what can I tell you except that I DROPPED my Ipad on my toe this morning, stumbling around in the dark, trying not to wake anybody. Ouch! Hurties! I didn’t break my Ipad. But I think I…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in! Have you looked at all the limericks about Mary the hairy fairy on yesterday’s blog ??? Amazing!!!! But I am so backed up (with work, she added quickly), that I haven’t got time to read them all and enjoy them all until bedtime. So Dave and I have made a date to have a limerick reading session and a blimming good giggle before we go to sleep. “Has it come to this?” I think…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Where did the day go? One minute I was engrossed in prep for the TV on Sunday, the next it was pitch black outside. So before I call it a day, here’s a little card I made to showcase some new and rather special little stamps which are coming up on the Sunday Show: Our new Wee Folk Fairies, Elves & Whimsy. When the first Wee Folk landed, WEE FOLK 1 WEE FOLK 2…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What a blimming run around! That’ll teach me for having a weekend sale! Didn’t see that coming, I can tell you! Plenty of jumping around today at Clarity Towers! So here’s a late after supper blog… Actually, I really like being able to unwind alone, with a little blog task. Monday’s blog is flowers and trees, right? Here goes then! Dig out a Gelli Plate inky background from my stash. How did I do…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by on this rainy day. It’s raining cats and dogs here! On the rare Sunday when we are at home, it’s roast dinner day, and I love making it all lovely and homely. Lamb today. There’s nothing quite like feeding a bunch of grateful men, is there? Mark, his friend Deklan, Dave and my brother Steve certainly fit that bill! Then Grace called from New York, so she was in the kitchen chattering away on Facetime, and…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Saturday’s blog a new technique, so I decided to get out a cool stamp and some Perfect pearl Mica Powders, and have a play… The set above, 7 colours, is the set I used here. Do you know that in this weekend’s sale, that set is reduced from £17.99 to £14.39 for the whole set? With another 10% off for club members! Tis true!! I just checked!!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. So sorry I’m late tonight! Did some priority sorting today, and spent the day with my parents, which was lovely. Wurka and Hollick were locked in the garden shed; didn’t even get to ride in the boot. Mum and I went off for a spot of lunch and shopping. Then back to Dad with the cake and fresh cream! So please excuse me for cheating a little. I am simply going to take the…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Rainy Thursday afternoon here in the South of England. Poor old Dave didn’t escape the lurgy, I’m afraid. He’s just arrived at where I was about a fortnight ago. Don’t envy him that at all. So now it’s my turn to be nurse. Poor sod. Haha! Poor sod because he’s ill? Or poor sod because I’m his nurse… So here’s a step by step which I did this afternoon. Just decided to go where…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What’s today? Ah yes, Wednesday… Wednesday’s Blog is something new, so here are some delightful new Style Stencils we launched recently. They are very retro, very chic, What’s really cool, too, is that you get both the inny and the outy, the positive and the negative. There is also an excellent set of Stamping accessories, which work brilliantly to jazz up the stencil girls. But let’s get to grips with a new technique too……
