Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up with the larks this morning, and all set to head on up to the studios. Hope you can find the time to join me. I will be on Create & Craft for my usual 2 hour show from 3pm until 5pm. Very excited to be showing you a brand new pair of floral panel stamp sets and Groovi plates. All you SHAC friends, who join me on a Monday Morning at 10am on…
Hi therte Thanks for popping in. I have had a brilliant making day today. Pottery class first thing this morning. Working on another piece of this totem pole project. It’s growing! This is another one of those projects which is not finished until it’s finished! See the long cylinder in the first pic? Well, that runs through the centre of the square piece. I can’t wait to get back to it ! How big is the totem pole going to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thank you also for catching the No. 300 SHAC bus if you managed it this morning. Here’s the Youtube link if you want to catch up.. After almost 3 months it was certainly good to get the old bus back out of the depot and go for a little spin with all my fellow SHACKERS! I hope the speed was right, and we didn’t take off too fast. As I mentioned, we’ll be…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just want to shine a light on our SHAC, our wonderful Safe Happy and Creative group. It started on the first day of Lockdown in 2020, and it’s been going ever since. In the beginning when we didn’t know what was going on in the world, we stuck together every single day, and there were over 500 of us; nowadays there are still 200 loyal and lovely Shackers. We meet twice a week, Mondays…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Fancy a get together? Fancy just hanging out with a bunch of like-minded people? Well. we’ve got options! Of course we have our Clarity Open Days coming up in June. It’s in Ditton near Maidstone, just off the M20. Easy access. Great parking. Fab couple of days. Worth a trip and an overnighter if you can swing it. So many of our Clarity Dream team will be there to entertain and inspire! A veritable…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a good, busy, productive Monday. How about yours? Started off putting air in the SHAC-Bus tyres, and figuring out a plan for us. Always best to know where you’re headed when you’ve got 200+ passengers! It was an enjoyable SHAC session, doodling daisies – a symbol of innocence, simplicity and joy. Which is okay. We could all do with a dose of innocence, simplicity and joy once in a while, eh. If…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We went back to the Ginkgo Tree in the SHAC today, and developed our doodles with designer parchment. Here I have worked on the Toscana Collection… . You may have seen me stamping onto parchment in the past; this is next level, where you transfer your illustration through the translucent parchment, and then erase the colour at the back… If you like the look of this kind of art, then NOW…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Had fun in the SHAC SHACK this morning, preparing our Christmas Crackers. Well, I did. Have fun, that is. Chuntering away to myself. In case you’re wondering what I am talking about, here’s the set of printed crackers that we have started decorating. So Güd! Available as a complete kit HERE I was showing off some pretty spectacular finished samples that Dee, Elaine and Jane had prepared for us. Let me show you… Thank…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It was great being back in the SHAC SHAC today! Cor. You don’t realise how much you miss something until you do it again! Well, let me rephrase that! You don’t realise how much you miss SOME things until you do them again! That’s better. Driving the SHAC bus is a güd thing. It feels güd. As I said, once a week works now, for most of us. But should things change, and should…
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…
