Hello there! Thank you for stopping by today. Thursday’s blog is something blue, so here’s one I rustled up last night – and I kid you not: it took less than 5 minutes. We won’t speak about the 2 hours prior to the breakthrough, where I was seriously considering knocking the whole crafting lark on the head! You know how it is; nothing, but NOTHING is working. And what you have managed to cobble together looks like something the dog…
Hello Sunny Wednesday! Hope all is well? I’m afraid I wrote a blog yesterday, but it has flown away. Don’t you hate it when that happens? I spent a merry hour, sitting in Redhill Hospital composing THE most delightful blog, and went to post it this morning, and it’s gone. It’s binandunangon! I’m sure you’ll agree, there is nowt more frustrating than trying to retrace one’s steps, so I am just going to accept that the sole purpose of the writing…

Hello there! Hope you are well and happy? Mondays seem to roll round so fast, don’t they?! I was going to hold this BRAND NEW AND BEAUTIFUL Maya Angelou Stamp until Wednesday’s blog (because it is something new, and as we know, Wednesday’s Blog is always something new…) But I really am rubbish at keeping surprises! When I know there’s something special coming up, I have a hard time keeping it under my hat! What about you? Can you keep…
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by. Well the Doncaster Dome Show is on, so I hope that Dave and the Clarity Crew are having fun. I stayed behind because my neck is spreading to my back – as it does…but I will get there next time I hope! I love that show, and I love the organisers, Paula and Gary from Whichcraft. You couldn’t wish to meet a lovelier family. Anyway, after yesterday’s Tulip Express, I thought I would…
Hi there! Happy Sunny Saturday, and thanks for stopping by. After yesterday’s fun in the Wendy House, I thought it was time to showcase a brand new stencil. This wonderful Tulip stencil was designed by our very own Amanda Branston, so let’s hear it for Mandy! No sooner did I start using it, than I decided we needed a Vase stencil “and we need the vase bits, too!” I called over to the stencil makers. Now we can begin. Think…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. One evening this week, I was on my way home, and the traffic going through Tunbridge Wells was savage. So when I got to the exit for John Lewis and Home Sense, it was a no brainer! Sit in traffic or go mooch in the stores until the cars are all gone….. Result? Look what I found!!!! I have been looking for a little wrought-iron day bed to go in my little Wendy House…
Hello and welcome to the Thursday Blue Blog. Thanks for stopping by. Today I thought we would take the fabulous Horse stamp and simply add a little blue. It lends itself perfectly to colouring in and Zentangle. So on TV on Sunday, I got as far as Dee’s black and white version with the unicorn’s add-on. I have to tell you that Dee and I prep the shows together now. And what a difference that makes to my life! Here, we…

Hello there, and thank you for joining me on this lovely You Tube Tuesday in sunny Kent, the garden of England! Why am I mentioning our whereabouts? Well, during the past few weeks, we have noticed a veritable surge in YouTube viewers from all over the world! USA, Germany, France, Australia – the list goes on. But how exciting is that? So if you are from other climes, do please leave a message; we think it’s brilliant that you are…
