Hi there I simply cannot believe that a whole week has gone by since I last wrote a blog! That’s bonkers! Just thought I’d pop in and post a pic of our make in the SHAC this morning, and there it was! Last Monday’s make staring at me! Ah well. No point in fretting. I guess it’s been a busy few days! It was evident that my fellow SHACKERS really enjoyed letting their hair down, and doodling those little people…
Hi there According to the specialists, the Moon Phase for today and tonight: Jan 23, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. Yep. Sounds about right to me. Sky is quite clear here in the southeast, so it will probably get colder. Then will come the winds and the rain. Perfect weather for crafting! Deborah Wheeler is back at Clarity Towers tomorrow, 10am and 2pm. She’s shining a light on some fab stamps that we came up with in the SHAC…
Hi there Just a quick blog this evening, to shine a light on these rather fabulous Richelieu lace plates, brand new, and designed by Linda Williams herself. What’s Richelieu lace? I hear you ask. Well, I didn’t know what it was called, but I have always been drawn to this kind of lace.. You will know the sort. Where areas are cut away, and often almost tanged together by these woven threads. Turns out these connectors are called bars or…
Hi there. Grace called me just now. “Have you read your emails Mum?”“No, not this afternoon. I’ve been doing artwork. What’s up?”“Do it now.” And guess what it said… WINNER! You’re officially a winner in the Craft Industry Awards Drumroll….. 1 . Craft Personality of the Year 2. Best Workshops 3. Runner up – Best Stamping Brand. Woohoo!! So excited! Called Dave straightaway, then told the team. Can’t wait for Mum to wake up from her afternoon nap, so I…
Hi there I was thinking about the demo I did this afternoon on our Clarity TV show at 2pm. If you didn’t catch it, you can always watch it later on our catch up section on our website. Here’s the link to the right page. Anyway, the Archival ink wasn’t dry, so when I added the sky, the trees started bleeding, so to speak! Look here… But then, after we’d finished and were packing everything away, it occurred to me….
Hi there It’s no good. I can’t wait any longer. It’s time to show you what’s coming up on our Clarity TV tomorrow. When? Where? Who? What?? Well, here’s WHO, WHEN and WHERE BUT WHAT? That is the question. Ready? Dave has developed a set of what we are calling STAMP PENS. They are stamp-mounts for small stamps. And boy oh boy! Are they brilliant! The thing is that you can hold them like a pen of course, but you…
Hi there Before I head on over to Clarity Towers for our 3-5pm TV Show (on Facebook LIVE / Youtube / our own Website) I am excited to shine a light on our new Gift Vouchers / Gift Cards.

Hi there If you joined me for the Mixed media Craftalong yesterday evening, THANK YOU! I hope it was interesting? Like I said, it’s all about the sequence and knowing your material – how much you need, and how fast it dries. Well, that aside, if you were there, you will already have heard the good news! Yep. How about a really cool afternoon online – a whole afternoon – together, making something really lovely – either for your wall,…
Hi there Competition winner time! So many of you guessed the double-sided eraser pencil from Faber-Castell was our biggest selling product! And how close you were. That little life-saver came in second only to our Groovi Tabs!! So the lucky winner of the Clarity Gift Voucher is… drum roll….. SHEILA CRAWFORD! Well done Sheila. I have often chuckled at how many little packs of Groovi tabs we pack and send out. Which just goes to show how popular our Groovi…
Hi there. I’ve been having more playtime this morning, with those new landscape masks and stamps. So excited about them! The scenery masks are a game changer. I actually wish Sunday would come round faster, so I can show you!! But then again, there’s so much to do at work, I really ought not to wish the week away! Tomorrow, we are back on the SHAC-bus at 10am. Last session on the L for LOVE. The bus driver went ahead…
