Hey there Thanks for popping in. I have some really exciting news to share with you! I mentioned in the last Clarity Craft Club newsletter I wrote last week, so you may already have received that if you’re in the club, so to speak! It has been a while since I last did A Moment of Clarity. Barb’s Workin’ Life, as you know, has been put on the old backburner for the last few weeks. But this week she’s getting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunny Sunday, and all is well with the Gray family. I am happy and relieved to report that Dad was able to come home on Wednesday, and – after a faltering start, which a wonderful district nurse was able to come to the house to help with – things have been improving day by day. As you can imagine, it has been an uphill climb, and will be for some time to come, but…
Hi everyone! Paul here, I hope you are all well. I am up at The Craft Store studios (aka Hochanda) getting all set to launch a brand new One Day Special at 6pm designed by the lovely Linda Williams – Time for Tea, Coffee & Cake in stamps! You may recall back in March we launched the Groovi version, and if I recall rightly it flew out the door. After the show, we had many requests for them to be…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are all well and have had a good week. I have some very good news to share with you today………………… Finally, after months and months and months of waiting, the Nested Square Picot dies have finally landed – yipeeeeeeeeeee! If you are new to Clarity and all things Groovi/Pergamano/Parchment, then you may have heard the words “picot cutting” or seen it being demonstrated when we appear on The Craft Store or showcased in…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are all well. It has been another scorcher of a day down here in Kent, although it seems that it depends on what part of Kent. The other day I left the office and it was hot, hot, hot. 10 minutes into my journey the roads were soaking wet, you could feel the drop in temperature. 10 minutes further down the road and the roads were bone dry! Anyway, I thought I would…
Hi everyone. Paul here – the sun is streaming through my office window as I sit here writing to you today and the thermometer is recording 26 degrees. Anyway, since it is Friday, I thought I would review the week just gone. It sure has been all go here at Clarity Towers! On Monday, we kicked of the Clarity Craft Club Half Price Members Sale The making, assembly, picking and packing teams are hard at it, with a few of…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been blitzing my artroom today. What a mess! A real shambles actually. Honestly, I have never been great at filing. When I come back from a show or a demo day, I just dump all the craft gear, and dash off to the next job, saying I’ll come back to it later – as I skip off into the distance… Thing is, if you keep doing that, you end up with this: After a…
Hi there! Are we having fun yet? I’m imagining the Ditton Open Days LIVE now. Second day, Saturday, at its busiest around lunchtime, right? At the entrance are Jeannine and Sheila, giving you all a warm welcome as you come in … Glynis’s Pete there in the background – photobomb!! As you come round, there are those wonderful sisters, with their magical, slimming, non-fattening cakes – NOT !!!! Over to the right is Lou Withers, having a right laugh with…
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…
