Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had a great morning drawing and designing a new collection of stamps. This also involved pinging texts back and forth to Sam and Leonie, whilst we lay the foundations to our plans. But it’s Tuesday, which means we are shining a light on yet another one of my favourite ranges – and bringing the price down for a week by 30% – to celebrate our 30th year in business. Time for some deer and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Paul is up in TV Land, getting ready to present an exquisite and brand new collection of Floral Wreath Stamps. Check out our new, fresh Claritystamp packaging too! New Year, new beginnings. This Floral Delights All Occasions Stamp Collection has been designed by our very talented Jazz Morgan at Clarity Towers. Jazz is an amazing young woman, and comes up with fresh and beautiful designs every thime. You may already be familiar with these…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy morning. Already been to a hospital appointment early doors. Dave took me. I may actually be able to drive there myself, and sort myself out, but to be honest, my confidence has been rattled. I guess that’s normal, and I look forward to getting back behind the wheel, but easy does it. I have to say it again, in my experience, Pembury Tunbridge Wells hospital is pretty excellent. From parking the car to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Monday again. Strange, since every day seems like a Saturday nowadays! Pottering around the house, doing a bit of Spring cleaning, and finding all sorts of little arty samples and things I am loath to part with… First up, the lino prints I created a while ago, and we made into stamps. Makes me think I’d like to pursue that artform again. I had actually booked a 2-evening course for Dave and myself…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Good day, good day. Went for breakfast to Mum’s, which was lovely. She is doing well. Then came home to watch Rugby. This pottering and spring cleaning is bringing loads of stuff to the surface! I found a neat piece of artwork sandwiched between 2 paintings, which I haven’t thought about for years. Remember making it in our second home in New Mexico though, when we had been over to Anaheim LA to launch…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just gave myself a proper scare! Came to blog here in the dining room, and thought I could hear voices in the front garden. Looked outside, but nothing. Started edging towards the living room, because that seemed to be where the intruders were – then recognised Paula’s voice!! Dave had put the TV on for me, ready for Paul’s TV show at 9am!! I haven’t been watching TV at all during the daytime while…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. What a morning. I was looking for a particular document that I need for something important, and was suddenly taken by a bright idea. Say this out loud, in a spiffing accent: “By Jingo! I’ve got it!! Let’s take this opportunity of sitting around, convalescing, to sort through some of the mountains, folders and boxes of paperwork that abound here”. 4 hours later, still haven’t found the paperwork I was looking for, but have…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. You know you’re getting better when you get your pencils and tracing paper out, and get lost in a world of sketches and doodles. Today was quite lovely. Sitting at the kitchen table, sun pouring in, and trying to transfer the pictures in my head to paper. It didn’t quite translate as I had hoped, but I went with it. There are loads more, and I’ll try unlocking them during the week, but all…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been hanging out with Ragnar and Dave by the Aga. This Empyema certainly is a thing! You feel fine, you can breathe fine, you can drink tea fine. No pain. But wait until you move around! A leisurely stroll to the fridge and you feel like you’ve run down to Sainsbury’s and back! Ah well. I guess I shall just have to stop running down to Sainsbury’s! It’ll be ok. There is so much…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Firstly thank you so very very much for all your positive and kind messages! What a tonic! I had the loveliest of mornings, just sitting by the Aga (the cats are never far away), opening the many Thinking of You cards, condolence cards on Dad’s passing, and then the Speedy recovery cards! So much beautiful artwork! I promise you, the very first thing we’re going to do, before we even fire up the SHAC…
