Hi there, Thanks for popping in. What a fab 2 days we have just had! Such lovely artwork! And such a buzz of creative energy! Great bunch of ladies, lovely art, all round good energy. It has been so good to get together again. For many it was the first time they had ventured out into a crowd since Covid, so you can imagine that was quite something. The Spa Hotel is a beautiful venue, and the staff are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A little hazard warning to the wise. There’s a White Van Driver around the Tunbridge Wells Area. Moreover, it’s a SHE – and it’s ME! It’s a biggun too. Much taller and wider than usual. AND it’s got a useful tail lift thingy, which I have also mastered! Amazing what you can do when you have to. The Spa Hotel is all ready to welcome our Parchment retreat Guests now, the shop is looking…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Here’s a brand new journaling set by our Sam Crowe, that Leonie is showcasing on The Craftstore today (2nd show at 2pm) . I remember having a long Facetime chat to Sam about these a while ago. Mainly because I couldn’t get my head round the designs! But once she had explained it to me, I was 100% converted. The notelets and list stamps for example. She said, “aren’t you always writing notes on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How are you? How am I? Or perhaps the question we should be asking is WHO are you? And WHO am I? I seem to wake up most mornings wondering what the hell is going on in England, in Europe, in the world. And I often catch myself wondering what I am supposed to be doing, and which role I should be playing in response to the world we live in now. Which brings…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s definitely colder today. Turned the heating up and dug out the sweater box. We’re in a rain, sun and wind loop. Autumn is here. Did you join in the SHAC yesterday – Thursday? We welcomed Autumn with one of our little poppet Marina Fedotova postcards and a very seasonal border doodle….Still to be completed when I get a mo. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love her artwork. It is just a pleasure to…
Hi there Thanks for popping . There’s something very new and exciting on the horizon for all you lovely Parchers and Groovers! Josie has come up trumps once again. This time she has gone round ! Really clever! 4 fabulous circle grids – Josie is showcasing them herself on the Craftstore.com tomorrow at 6pm. In fact, we thought they were that good, we turned them into a ONE DAY SPECIAL! So that gives Josie 5 whole hours to show you…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just prepping for tomorrow’s two Facebook Live events at 3pm and 7pm. Thought I’d shine a little light on the afternoon Moment of Clarity, and the little Güd Folk. We like these! Do you remember when we started doodling these little Gnomes last December? Where does the time go? If you missed the SHAC episode, it all started HERE and we started to colour them in HERE We ended up with these little Güd…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mind the piles of demo boxes and crafty gear as you come in though! Bomzitit springs to mind. The cats would never find their way out of here! It looks like it’s either been burgled, or I’m moving out, which is about right! Everything but the kitchen sink is going up to the TV studios tomorrow, in readiness for the BIG WEEKEND : It’s our Clarity 28th Birthday! Woohoo. Glad to still be here…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Have been clearing away all the demo gear from Friday’s TV shows this afternoon. I didn’t touch half the demos, but you know how it is – fail to prepare, prepare to fail! Thing is, you see, if you don’t have everything exactly there in front of you, ready to reach for, you really have NO time to start looking and faffing. Even after all these years, I go through the demos again and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s birthday weekend at the CraftStore (was HOCHANDA), so we thought we’d do something special for them, and make some funky Birthday Stamps! The 9am show certainly Happy Birthday rocked! Glad you liked them! Lisa designed the Happy Birthday stamps… Cherry Green illustrated the numbers and funky bugs…. I designed the stencils… And Dave is in charge of the cut outs! Check this out! Makes such a difference ! And in case you were…
