Hi there Thanks for popping in. Treescape. Beautiful design by our friend the cartographer, Mel Turner. When you look closely at this treescape, you can see the roads and paths overlapping, can’t you? This week the Design of the Week also ties in with the, “A Moment of Clarity” I have planned for this Friday at 7pm live on Clarity Facebook/YouTube. It’s a win win. A fabulous design at a fabulous price, and a free tutorial on how to use…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I won’t tell you how long it took me to locate the grave accent on my Mac for the a in the title! And blow me! I can‘t find it again now! ååaaaaaaaaaaAa ååååeéååååaåå à. Aha. Bingo. Just learned something new!! Well what a find!! Eureka moment. The trick is to not give up I suppose. To not get frustrated, to make the decision to figure it out – and even if it takes…

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.
