Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quick heads up for tomorrow morning on the Craft Store at 9am, and then again at 1pm. I am so looking forward to showcasing a bunch of Tree stampsets – some real Clarity Classics coming your way! There‘s a real mix of stamps, stencils – old, new, revamped and revised – the products, not me! Here are some some of the items being shown: Here is some inspiration from…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Have you ever looked at a craft project and said, “I’d NEVER be able to do that?”. I bet we all have. The thing is, you’re probably right. Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, either way you’re probably right. You’ll probably NEVER even try, because you’ve already decided you’ll NEVER be able to succeed. So if you have already failed before you’ve even given it a go, then chances are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks for joining in yesterday evening if you did! I can only speak for myself, but after quite a strenuous week at work, I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with the Clarity gang, and putting those Lino Cut Stamps through their paces. Having played with all three of the Stampsets, I can’t say I have a favourite. All three are really REALLY useful, clever, and easy to make great art with. As I said…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Here’s a brand new journaling set by our Sam Crowe, that Leonie is showcasing on The Craftstore today (2nd show at 2pm) . I remember having a long Facetime chat to Sam about these a while ago. Mainly because I couldn’t get my head round the designs! But once she had explained it to me, I was 100% converted. The notelets and list stamps for example. She said, “aren’t you always writing notes on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Jackanory – what’s the story – again today. Since the weekend, we have been thinking about artwork we’ve created in the past which we are particularly pleased with, or which brings back good memories. Well, here’s one, a GelPress piece, which I did way back in 2014 – over 7 years ago. This piece reminds me of a couple of things actually…. It takes me back to when we first started making Clarity…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Happy Bank Holiday Monday! Happy Memorial Day in America! Happy last day of May Monday! Yep. This year is certainly flying by! June tomorrow! What?!? But today is Monday, and in Clarity World, it’s the day we launch our Offer of the Week! Love these Tag dies! From Mixed Media to fabric work, from Card-making and papercraft to running your own arty business, these tags and plaques are perfect. And at half price plus…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just came off air after the second TV show on the Craft Store. Thank you so much for watching and supporting if you did. If you couldn’t make it, the CraftStore.com has a great Catch-Up section! I am on a high. Not a care in the world. And I know why. It’s the focus on the art, and the kind of art. It’s the laying up of words in a random (not so random)…
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. Had a really good spring clean in the SHAC Shack this morning. It feels so much fresher and nicer now! Was getting pretty skanky to be honest. Just kept piling the next job on the old job, and not filing – just piling !! All set for the 2-4pm Clarity TV Show on Hochanda too. Lovely Lucy and I worked on this one together; we bounced back and forth for quite a while, getting…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just spent a couple of very lovely, chatty, crafty, arty hours with a dear friend on Facetime. Many of you will know Sam Crowe from oop norf. To know her is to love her. It was great to catch up with her. She’s a smashing woman. Fun and crazy. Here we see here in action at the last Open Days in Ditton… When we get talking about art and projects, we could go on…
