Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Bank Holiday Monday! Thought I’d have a proper sort out in my artroom this morning, in readiness for the working week ahead, and in the very first box I found a set of ClarityCraft StampClub back issues. The words on the stamp of the month hit me between the eyes! And what’s more, the older I get, the longer my list of things to do – and the more pertinent those words are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. If I had to pick my favourite Freshcut die, I think it would be this one. There are some superb designs in our library now – check it out HERE – but I have to say, this one is it. Drawn by Mel Turner, we have got the same design in stamps, stencil and Groovi! We were quite late to the Die party, but when we arrived a couple of years ago, with our…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went to London today. Had a business lunch at the Shard. Nice treat, but you really are up in the gods on the 32rd floor!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. After a full day of drawing, prepping for TV, doodling and making art, I am feeling happily tired, which just goes to prove that Art IS Therapy.

I think art and healing come from the same source actually. They seem to go hand in…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up bright and early today. It was potter potter pottery this morning! My favourite time of the week! You know that old adage “we have good days and growing days” ? Well, today was certainly a growing day. I made such a horlicks of the glazing! What a mess! Never mind. The good news is you can scrape it off and go again. So back she goes tomorrow evening, for another run at it!…
Hi there Thanks for stopping by. Happy Saturday! The Gray Friday Sale which goes on till Midnight Monday is very busy! Thinking ahead a little, I thought I’d shine a light on all our storage solutions – which are also in the sale!
