31 days to Christmas?!? You’re joking! Where is the time going?? All I keep saying is, “Well, I’ve ordered the turkey!”. As if that is an indicator that I’ve got things under control. Ha Ha Ha. And so to my old mantra, ONE DAY AT A TIME. As soon as I say that to myself, I immediately feel relief. Believe me when I say that any anxiety I may be experiencing has nothing to do with Christmas. I really am…

Hi there With Christmas around the corner, let’s enjoy a selection of wonderful 3-D angels and Christmas cards, created by our ever clever Art Team… Beautiful aren’t they?

Angels is certainly shaping up to be our Clarity Christmas theme this year. Those Hope Peace and Love Angels have been flying out to…
Hi folks! Thanks for popping in! As promised this morning, a blog centred around those lovely new stamps Eileen and I came up with together. We had fun designing them! It’s all about the layering… Here they are, in all their glory: A4 Square stamp sets, plus their masks too. For your orientation, the longest blooms plus stems measure nearly 6 inches on this BIG BLOOMS SET. Also in A5 Square + Masks. FYI, the longest blooms plus stems measure…
Ho Ho Ho!The weather is certainly on queue for Christmas! Temperature below 0 and we even had a flurry of snow down here in the south east yesterday, which is unusual nowadays. Are we dreaming of a white Christmas now, just like the ones we used to know? I dug out the lyrics from Irvin Berlin’s famous Christmas song, so you can sing along. Ready? I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,Just like the ones I used to know;Where the treetops…
Hi there There’s a little robin redbreast in our garden. He follows you everywhere! If I sit on the bench and have a cuppa – there he is an arm’s length away on the arm rest. If Dave chops wood, there he is again, perched on a log right there. When I load things into m car, he sits on the fence, watching me walk back and forth. I hear this a lot. Mum has a pet robin in her…
Hi there If you were at the Clarity Open Days and Workshops this weekend, you will have heard that dear Linda is finally hanging up her parchment hat, and retiring. Well, let me qualify that. Linda is still going to be designing beautiful Groovi plates for us, and has no intention of disappearing! She just decided that the Ditton Retreats, Workshops and Open Days are more than she can handle anymore. I totally get her. It’s Tuesday, and I still…
Ho Ho Ho! Have you noticed the Christmas Trees are in the Supermarkets now?? Yikes! This is getting serious! I went to Morrisons this morning, cos the cupboard was bare as they say. And there they were. It’s the middle of November for Pete’s sake! (As if Pete cared!) So on that note, here’s a Groovi Tree Sampler that I drew a while ago. Perfect for Mini Makes Monday! So many different designs on one plate! Nine, in fact! AVAILABLE…
Hi there We waved goodbye yesterday to all our lovely friends and customers who joined us for the Clarity Open Days — and what a brilliant time we had! The atmosphere was buzzing from start to finish, full of laughter, creativity, and good company. It was so wonderful to see familiar faces and meet new ones too. Judging by the smiles, chatter, and the beautiful artwork being shared, I think it’s safe to say everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time….
