Hi there Thanks for popping in. I will be showcasing the Groovi Starter Kit tomorrow on Create & Craft, because it is THE perfect starting place if you are wanting to get into parchment craft. For the benefit of the newcomer, here is a photo step by step of a card made by Tina Cox for us, using just what you have in the Starter Kit – bar the colouring pens. This card project is included in the pack too….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A Pergamano Show peep. No. not a Pergamano peep Show! Mind you, I bet we’d get more viewers if it were! Maybe not the parching audience we’re looking to entertain though… Ready to be impressed? Ready to invest in a set of super duper brand new Groovi plates? Then look no further! Linda Williams has designed these oh so useful layout plate, which give you instant frames for any – and I mean ANY…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We’ve got company this afternoon. Having a little Christmas catch-up with family who unfortunately had to cancel Christmas because of COVID. So we’ve been blitzing the house, making it nice. That’s the thing, isn’t it. We’re so used to rarely welcoming visitors nowadays, seldom even leaving the house, that it’s very easy to let the housework slide, let the ironing pile up, forget to put some lippy on or dress nicely. I saw an…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. On my way out to the Craftstore TV Studios, to launch a superb grid collection designed by clever Josie Davidson. These are big and beautiful and very easy to use – as I shall be showing you at 6pm this evening! If you love the look of beautiful grid work, but don’t have the patience to count out or create a design, clever Josie has done all the hard work for us, making it…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Many of you may already have heard the announcement that The Craft Store TV channel (previously HOCHANDA) – the one we work with – has acquired Create & Craft – the one we used to work with! So. We have come full circle! Let me fill you in….After many years on Create & Craft, we – Dave and I – moved our business to the smaller channel, HOCHANDA – Home of Crafts Hobbies and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Monday the 10th of January already – where does the time go? Perhaps you watched TV yesterday? We launched our clever new Seasonal Wreaths – or should I say half-wreaths? Ironically, the time whizzes past even faster during a 2 hour TV show. I never feel as though I have done the demos justice. But hey. They all sold out, so you saw the benefits of the stamps despite the whirlwind! Maybe it’s…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! What a day this has been! Busy busy busy! And thank you also if you joined in the first SHAC of the year this morning at 10. I think those little doodle tiles will be fabulous when they’re done… I touched on the new stamps which we are showcasing on the TV on Sunday – the Seasonal Wreath stamps. They are rather special. You may recognise the flavour from the SHAC SHAC… The first…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d shed a little light o a cool TV show this evening. No, not the Pottery Throwdown! That was last night on Channel 4. Actually, the young curly haired lad Cellan is from the pottery Studio I attend down here! Very excited for him. He is so clever. 23 years old. Cheering for him !! The TV Show in question is on the Craft Store. What time? 6pm. Who’s the star ? Paul…
Hi there Happy New Year! Went for a long walk up on the Southdown Forest with Grace and Dave this morning. Lots of folks had the same idea, but it was still pretty quiet. Perfect, sunny and warm. Slowly I can feel my head kicking back into design and work mode. Break’s over, and the cogs are starting to turn again. Decided to start a monthly bulletpoint calendar, a simple, arty scrappy thing, to put on my desk and doodle…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well, the Beautiful Frosted Floral Overlays have certainly been well received on telly! Thank you so much for appreciating the beauty and potential in these delicate parchment prints. Many of you will have seen them first at the SPA Parchment Retreats back in October, when we used them for the first time. What glorious artwork the ladies did produce over the two days! So many happy parchers in one place! In case you are…
