Hi there Just a quick update. It’s been a while since I blogged! The days just seem to run away with me! Many many thanks for all the kind messages, cards, and gifts that Dave and I received last week. So thoughtful and generous! Dave is definitely making great progress, which is very heartening. I see the pain levels subsiding in his eyes as the days go on, and I see it in his movement too. So things are certainly…
Hi there Happy New Year! New Year – new ideas! I have been deep in thought all morning, considering the future. I’ve been thinking about the past year, too, and how Work/Create & Craft TV seriously interrupted play in 2024! The good news is – I’ve figured a few things out! Anyway, I have been going round and round the old house here, tidying, sorting and cleaning, whilst simultaneously going round and round the virtual houses in my head, which…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy Monday. Always starts well in the SHAC, and today was no different. What a great way to tee up the week, with a lovely bunch of like-minded buddies, doodling and colouring in our Hippy Chicks! If you missed it, then you can always catch up here: You may have caught me telling you about a pottery breakthrough I had yesterday. Well, #madeinmay friends! Sunday was a big day in the life of Barb…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Sunny day here in the South East. Crowborough, East Sussex, to be more precise. It was fresh early doors this morning, but once the sun came out to play, it started warming up nicely. What about you? Where are you, and what’s the weather forecast? Leave a post below, tell us your whereabouts, look out the window, then tell us what it’s doing outside! It’s just interesting for all of us to know where…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a busy day back in the Clarity saddle. The SHAC at 10 is always a great way to focus the mind. And those girls are certainly Hippy Chicks! Here’s a pic of the Hippy Bus we drew together previously… As I was saying this morning in the SHAC, I spent pretty much the whole week and weekend making, making, making. Making prints, making pots, making nice meals, making cards. Dave too. He…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Just paddling away here, writing the latest newsletter for the club, compiling a big blog for tomorrow, watching Paul and Dean on the screen in the background. I’m looking forward to this evening’s E for Elephant session in the SHAC. Must do a little prep for that too. The bus driver just needs to know where the bus is headed! Why the hustle? Can you feel my busy-ness? Well… I have been planning this…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thanks for joining in yesterday evening for the Moment of Clarity if you did. We had about 160 guests, which is great on a Friday night! Those Doodle Discs and Tiles, designed by Tina Cox, really are a pleasure to play with. Here is the simple card I made, and a link to the video. Plenty of tricks n tips methinks… Our stats tell us there is a swing in numbers from Facebook viewing…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I have been asked many times whether I sell my pottery, and until now I have always declined. Several reasons: to start with, I didn’t think it was good enough. I didn’t have enough to fill a table because i always gave the best pieces away. Claritycrafts and TV take up a lot of time, and I didn’t want more pressure. I didn’t want to turn my hobby into a business AGAIN. Bla bla…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Rainy Sunday, so a perfect day for crafting. Pottery this morning. Made a start on the Totem Pole. This could take a while, but hey! Who’s in a rush?? You just need a little vision and a lot of patience… Oh. And a ruler and pencil… Remember the sketch? Well, this is the base piece. That’s 6 hours so far. But who’s counting? It’s a good job I don’t have to make a living…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I must be feeling better! Rose with the lark this morning, made the bed, emptied the dishwasher AND wrote this month’s Club newsletter – all before 8am! Feeling energized because this afternoon was the first time back at Pot pot pottery class! It was so good to see the ladies again! A proper affectionate welcome back. I can only speak for myself, but why oh why do I always think people don’t like me,…
