Hi there Thanks for popping in. Still ticking boxes like a loonie here. It’s the only way forward for this old chick at the moment. Keeping busy and keeping focussed. We can call it being mindful, and we can also call it staying on top of things. Bit of both. With the world in such turmoil, we crafters are very, very lucky to have creative distraction. I was talking to Linda Williams this morning, about the next Craftalong we’re doing…
Hey there Thanks for popping in. I have some really exciting news to share with you! I mentioned in the last Clarity Craft Club newsletter I wrote last week, so you may already have received that if you’re in the club, so to speak! It has been a while since I last did A Moment of Clarity. Barb’s Workin’ Life, as you know, has been put on the old backburner for the last few weeks. But this week she’s getting…
Hey there Thanks for stopping by. Can’t stop long. Going to get Dad out of hospital, so I’m writing super fast! It’s Day 34 for him! That’s such a long time! Can’t wait to get him home with Mum. Just wanted to throw a light on some new plates designed by Tina Cox that Paul will be launching on The Craft Store (aka Hochanda) tomorrow during The Pergamano Shows at 11am and 3pm. 4 funky doodled landscapes. Lisa took some…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Having you been joining Linda in The Pergamano Summer School via Facebook and YouTube the past four weeks? Linda has been guiding us gently through the Pergamano Handbook for Multi-Needle Tools Volume One. Since she wrote the book, who better to take us on this super trip?! For the past 4 weeks, we have been working with various tools covered in the book. Here is what we have covered so far: Lesson 1 –…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Grace left for New York this morning, and the house is very quiet. She’s such a bundle of good energy and joy! Despite extending her stay, just like her brother who had to get back to SF to work, she wasn’t able to see her Grandad either, because he is still in hospital. It’s been almost a month now. Who could have foreseen this? But he’s in the right place and getting stronger by…
Hi everyone! Paul here, I hope you are all well. I am up at The Craft Store studios (aka Hochanda) getting all set to launch a brand new One Day Special at 6pm designed by the lovely Linda Williams – Time for Tea, Coffee & Cake in stamps! You may recall back in March we launched the Groovi version, and if I recall rightly it flew out the door. After the show, we had many requests for them to be…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are all well. It has been another scorcher of a day down here in Kent, although it seems that it depends on what part of Kent. The other day I left the office and it was hot, hot, hot. 10 minutes into my journey the roads were soaking wet, you could feel the drop in temperature. 10 minutes further down the road and the roads were bone dry! Anyway, I thought I would…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are well. Well today it was back to school for me and many hundreds of our lovely Clarity & Pergamano friends. I am sure that if I had taken a register of all the attendees, it would have taken me an hour and the class would have been over. Can you imagine if we had actually all been in the same room, we would have filled a small theatre and no matter how…
Hi everyone! Paul here. I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Just a quick reminder that the Half Price Clarity Craft Club Members Sale ends at midnight tonight. So if you have been humming and hawing, you don’t have long! Despite the scorching temperatures down here in Kent, we have been busy in the picking, packing and dispatch department. Royal Mail has been backwards and forwards collecting all the packages – this was waiting for the 3rd and final…
Hi everyone. Paul here – the sun is streaming through my office window as I sit here writing to you today and the thermometer is recording 26 degrees. Anyway, since it is Friday, I thought I would review the week just gone. It sure has been all go here at Clarity Towers! On Monday, we kicked of the Clarity Craft Club Half Price Members Sale The making, assembly, picking and packing teams are hard at it, with a few of…
