Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s Mothering Sunday here in the UK, so if you are celebrating, or being celebrated, have a great day! I have been up and at it, writing and doing artwork. Tomorrow, to end our Japan March celebrations on a high, we are launching a rather special set of immaculate Crane stamps. They each come with their image masks, too. Original artwork by our friend, Mel Turner. They are so beautiful! Let me find some…
Hi there Just about to head out the door to Clarity Towers, to launch a new and exciting range of stamps, designed by the very creative and clever Nicola Elliot. She calls her brand Stamptagious, and we are happy to announce our partnership with her now. The thing is, we have always made for her. So you may well be familiar with her quirky, very mixed media style. When Hochanda / The Craft Store / Create & Craft let us…
Hi there It’s like the buses! She doesn’t blog for a week, then 2 turn up on the same day! Let me explain why… I was waiting to watch Paul and Deborah at 10 am just now. So I have choices as to WHERE to watch them LIVE. I decided to take Route 1 to Clarity TV, which is through Facebook. As I was waiting patiently, on the Claritycrafts Facebook page, I thought to myself, I wonder how many people…
Hi there Apologies for not writing for a week!

Hi there Woke up this morning, and decided to bite the bullet. Thermal Long Johns, thermal vest, two pairs of socks and a biker’s tube for the neck – and I was set to get back behind the wheel! No no no. My days of Harley Davidson biking are well and truly over. In fact, my lovely bike was sold last year. It’s just way too dangerous. Too many cars, too many idiot drivers, too many potholes. But I’m grateful…
Hi there According to the specialists, the Moon Phase for today and tonight: Jan 23, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. Yep. Sounds about right to me. Sky is quite clear here in the southeast, so it will probably get colder. Then will come the winds and the rain. Perfect weather for crafting! Deborah Wheeler is back at Clarity Towers tomorrow, 10am and 2pm. She’s shining a light on some fab stamps that we came up with in the SHAC…
Hi there Just a quick blog this evening, to shine a light on these rather fabulous Richelieu lace plates, brand new, and designed by Linda Williams herself. What’s Richelieu lace? I hear you ask. Well, I didn’t know what it was called, but I have always been drawn to this kind of lace.. You will know the sort. Where areas are cut away, and often almost tanged together by these woven threads. Turns out these connectors are called bars or…
