Hi there Thanks for popping in. Yes, it is that time of the week again where we shine a light on a particular design and offer it to you with a 30% discount (plus Craft Club discount) to celebrate being in business for 30 years! This week it is the Poetry Frames & Verses. Yes, you are right, we did shine a light on them back in April, just after Easter, but I thought that they deserved another outing. Available…
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. Late blog I know. I got caught up in the moment, doing pottery, smoothing out some pinch pots I have been making in readiness for the Clarity Open Days next week. Well, and before you could say “That’ll do Donkey” – it was 10 o’clock! They need time to dry out slowly, before they get bisque fired in the kiln. Then I have to wait 2 days before the kiln can be opened, then…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sorry I have been awol here – had a few technical issues, but it’s OK now! I have been working alone all day, getting ready for the Create & Craft TV shows on Thursday 3pm and 7pm, and Friday 9am and 1pm. Got pretty much everything sorted, except the last hours. I was thinking a Mixed Media session with the GelPress and new stencils, plus a useful mark making set. So tomorrow first thing…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A little later than usual this week, we held off launching the Design of the Week until after the Coronation Event on the website. This week is another of my personal favourites: arty and funky Word Chains in stamps and Groovi, I just love playing with different fonts, uppercase and lowercase, and mixing it all up. It doesn’t matter what your style of crafting is, they seem to work perfectly everytime. Here is a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Is it really Tuesday again? The weeks/months are flying by! Bit of a scramble here today! Wanted to get ahead of the TV Prep game for this coming Sunday 3-5pm. Thought I had loads of time, got right into a colouring project…but then it turned 2pm, and I have to get my hair done for the King’s Garden party tomorrow! And lovely Carron, she who is going to work her magic on my mop,…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Take 2. A new design collection of the week, and one which is very close to my heart. Darling Annie designed this collection. A young woman who left this world far too soon. I think of her and her little daughter Dorothy every single day. Life is harsh sometimes. But she was such a free spirit, such a creative talent! She could sing, she could draw, she could make stamps, she was good at…
