Haven’t been out this year…

Haven’t been out this year…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just realised that there is a particularly lovely set of Clarity Christmas Stamps (and in Groovi too) which haven’t been out at all this year. That’s what happens when you have such a vast selection; there just aren’t enough opportunities to show everything off! I love these aperture stamps. 2017 or even earlier… Here’s a little how to I have dug out, to show you how they work. Cor! Here’s the leafy canvas too….

Saving the best till last….

Saving the best till last….

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day on HOCHANDA! The 6pm Birds on a Wire and Woodland Stamps are in full swing, so just a quickie before Paul goes back to the woods at 8pm!! What a wonderful set of stamps these are! More than any other collections, these will be the ones that will remind me of the SHAC-Shack in the future. I guess it’s because the Woods have been the only outdoors many of us have been…

Just how I pictured it!

Just how I pictured it!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been working on the Christmas TV Show today. Every year we have a one hour TV show on Christmas Day. Don’t know exactly what time yet, but today was the day I put the new stamps through their paces. And I am VERY happy to tell you they have come out EXACTLY how I pictured them! So chuffed. There’s a Winterland Stampset, which I love. You know the one… Well, a few weeks ago,…

Coming up….

Coming up….

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been revving up the engine ready for HOCHANDA TV on Sunday 2-4pm and Sunday evening ODS. It’s a pretty special Sunday actually, because we will be looking back at the SHAC SHAC doodles, and all the wonderful art we have created along the way. I’ve waited until the last TV shows of the year to launch what I consider to be our absolute favourites too! I hope you agree. Here’s a little peek at…

Fancy a Fab Free Stencil ?

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up bright and early, and heading off to Mum and Dad’s for the day. But before I shoot the crow…. Our Gray Sale has gone mad again.

Oh to gaze upon a Panorama!

Oh to gaze upon a Panorama!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. From where I’m sitting right now, the outlook is beautiful. No panorama, but lots of lovely treetops swaying in the breeze, against a blue sky backdrop with cotton wool clouds. Sometimes, we are so intent on experiencing fabulous, jaw droppingly amazing panoramas, that we miss the loveliness in front of us. Well, the fact of the matter is that right now, today, not many of us can go out in search of that euphoric…

I’m hooked.

I’m hooked.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. You know how sometimes you are making something, be it a card or a canvas, a doodle or a painting, and it hooks you, to the exclusion of everything else. It draws you in and you are completely oblivious to the world around you. You realise that it’s going to take a lot longer than you’ve got, that you’ve got a million other pressing things to do – but you can’t stop. You have…

What a week!

What a week!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Looking back over this past week, it has been quite an eventful one. We has 9 hours of Hochanda TV at the start of the week, coupled with trying to get our own Pergamano sale orders out the door. On Thursday we had blow-the-doors-off Pergamano TV shows! Paul showcased Linda Williams’ New Christmas Tree Plate and the Christmas Tree Kit we had been working on for weeks was sold out in under half an…

Life just got sweeter…

Life just got sweeter…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog from me to you, right? Well how about we announce the winner of last week’s anagram quiz ? So many of you entered! Thank you. It is always heartening when you join in; makes me feel less isolated, less like I’m just rowing this old boat round and round in circles. Thought it was a river – found out it’s a moat! What a weird old world we live in. P E…
