Hi there Thanks for popping . Did you join me for this afternoon’s Moment of Clarity? I enjoyed playing with those Butterfly stamps a lot! I hope you got something out of the session too xx I had to chuckle at myself too. Every single product I touched which was from Ranger, I called out “RANGER10” !! Irritating? Only mildly! Our Ranger shipment landed yesterday, so we’re celebrating with a 10% Discount Code all weekend! All things Ranger available HERE…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had to chuckle yesterday, when I turned my attention to turning Terracotta on the wheel. Many of you had been commenting about how the lino cutting took you back to your school days. Well, with the terracotta clay session in the afternoon, all I could think of was trying to wash our Mark’s team rugby kits after a particularly rainy day a few seasons ago, when he played for Crowborough. Can you spot him?…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Easter Bank Holiday Monday! Lovely day. Walked out in the countryside with Dave, his daughter and her family. Haven’t seen Laura, Trevor or the grandchildren for months. Those kids they do grow! Young Evie is so bright, and Oliver just laughs and smiles. Precious. We went to their neck of the woods, to the Wild Garlic Woods, and saw lots of new things. The wild garlic is just coming now. We rubbed the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Remember the original Upstairs Downstairs TV Series? Back in the 70’s it was on a Sunday evening as I recall. …it was always on in our house! Mum loved it! Well, Upstairs Downstairs has taken on a whole new meaning here in our little house! Either I’m upstairs in the garage – SHAC SHAC – the Clarity Studio, or I’m Downstairs in the garage – the Pottery Studio! And today I’ve been up and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Good Friday. Call me ignorant, but I’ve never really felt that Good Friday was particularly Good or something to celebrate. Good for who?! Perhaps Good has a different meaning than the one I’m familiar with, because Dark Friday or Black Friday feels more accurate to me. But hey – what do I know. So I kept busy with my hands today. Worked in silence at my pottery wheel most of the day. Threw some…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How about a little Egg Hunt for the weekend? How about finding just 10 eggs on the website to be in with a chance of winning a £150 prize?!? Wonderful! And not fattening either!!! There are 10 Clarity eggs hidden with 10 different products around the website that we’d like you to find. Anyone who finds all 10 will be entered into a prize draw for that egg-cellent prize worth £150.00 So, to be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just came off Hochanda Live TV. Really love working with those people. They are, without exception, a really smashing bunch. Actually, if you haven’t heard, the channel has a new name: THE CRAFT STORE by HOCHANDA. Finally! Very happy about this. I have been suggesting since DAY 1 that they include the word CRAFT in the name of the channel, only so that newcomers surfing the internet or SKY actually KNOW that we are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I just stepped out of the SHAC (AKA my artroom above the garage), and there, sitting outside the door on the little mat, were both Ragnar and Erik, waiting for me. The neighbour (AKA IB or NB) has been drilling, chain sawing, hammering and making such a commotion all morning, that the cats are clearly frightened. As I mentioned in the SHAC this morning, I hadn’t realised how uptight the racket had made ME…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. March 23rd. Always been a big day in my life – well at least for the last 31 years. It’s Grace’s birthday, you see. So thirty-one years ago today, I was just coming round after an emergency C-Section, to the news that I had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Miracle baby numero uno! Grace by name, Grace by nature. Happy Birthday dear Gracie!!! One year ago today, the country went into a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Mother’s Day! Woke up thinking about my Mum. I am one of those women in the world who is a mother, and who still has a loving Mother. So it’s easy for me to celebrate Mother’s Day at several levels today. I go back in my mind to my Grandmothers, and I remember them both fondly too. Grace and Mark, my kids, will be on the phone as soon as they wake up…
