Saturday – A Day to regroup.

Saturday – A Day to regroup.

Hi there. Thanks for checking in with me. Glad you’re here. Saturdays are my Regroup-and-Consider-the-Week-ahead-Day. Saturdays are my Laundry-and Clean-the-Kitchen-Floor-Day. Saturdays are my Switch-off-from-the-World-Day. What about you? What are Saturdays in your world? Or have all your days rolled into a chain of 24-hour episodes? Having had our routines wiped away, I’m hearing plenty of “what day is it?”! I have always worked from home a lot. Especially any art-related tasks. They ALL get done here in what has now…

Innocence…

Innocence…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope your day has been a good one? Beautiful and sunny here in the Southeast of England today! I ran a food delivery over to my parents’ house this afternoon. Dave ran the shop gauntlet earlier, while we were all merrily doodling; then I took over, so that he could get back to PPE production. It was good to see Mum and Dad, even at a distance. We had a good old catch up,…

Floral Friends and Bluebells.

Floral Friends and Bluebells.

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Beautiful day here in Crowborough. Time for a little walk through the bluebells now….funny that. It’s even more important now than ever that we don’t miss them before they fade. I guess we are realising what is important ? Or is it that we are realising our frailty? The shortness and frailty of human life? And a carpet of bluebells is heavenly. Tomorrow we are showcasing our wonderful collection of Floral Friends on HOCHANDA.com….

Monday Monday

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hope you are safe and well. All good here, but it’s time to stop and sit in the garden before the sun disappears. Funny old day. Feels like I’ve been swimming against the tide since I woke up. Not in a contrary way, not in a rebellious way. Been quite happy up here alone in the SHAC-Shack, doing art for TV. Just having to use more energy than usual to do normal stuff. Got…

Bobbing and Weaving!

Bobbing and Weaving!

Thanks for popping in. Such a busy day !! So much for hanging out in the garden and honing my Lino Cutting skills! Not this week anyway! Our SHAC SHACK daily doodling with the hot air balloon is coming along nicely, and tomorrow we’ll be adding a nice back drop. We got a great basket weave going today, didn’t we?! I nearly lost the plot there for a moment – but hey! It’s all just a bit of doodle fun…

Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Another beautiful day in Paradise? Well, it’s certainly sunny in the southeast. And having chased my tail all day again, it’s time to stop and gather my thoughts for the week ahead, make a plan for our daily doodle sessions and just chill out a bit, before the sun disappears…. Woke up anxious this morning. Decided to avoid the news and just be an island for a day. I consider myself to be quite…

Beautiful Evening….

Beautiful Evening….

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Have you also had a beautiful sunny day where you are? It was glorious here – difficult to comprehend that we are in the grips of something so invisible and sinister, isn’t it. Well, today, it was my turn to work at the new factory. We go in one at a time, and I opted for Saturday. It was the first time I’ve been beyond the garden gate since the Wednesday before last. How…

Limp Internet stopped play….

Limp Internet stopped play….

Hi there, I hope you are well and keeping safe? Our SHAC campaign SAFEHAPPY ANDCREATIVE/STAYHOMEANDCRAFT is certainly keeping me on my toes! Blimming internet just keeled over this morning, so we had to abandon ship and record it instead. Ironically, the message I had wanted to weave into my patter today was to work with what you’ve got ! Tell you what, God’s got a funny sense of humour! But here’s a little landscapey-bunny doodling session all set for you,…

Phew!

Phew!

Hi there! Hope you’re safe and doing ok? Greetings from the Clarity SHAC-SHACK!! Been quite a morning, getting our first Facebook Live session under our belts. But after the initial streaming issues, I reckon it went well! Thank you so much to everybody who watched and joined in! It was really cool to know that so many of us were all doodling away, grabbing a quiet half hour TOGETHER. It felt right to me, and it felt like it was…

Cat Naps are Essential

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. All go here! Still pedalling between the two factory sites at the moment. But we’re getting there. Fighting Fit, that’s what we are!

An exquisite collection of brand new beautiful childrens’ illustrations by our Mel. When…
