Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Been up since the crack of sparrows, prepping for Sunday’s HOCHANDA TV shows. It’s the Big TV Weekend of the month, the first Sunday of the month. Has been for as long as I can remember back. Happy to report that all 2-4pm Sunday projects are done and dusted, filmed and sent. Now I just need to sort out the 6pm launch of the ODS! No worries. I’ve called in the cavalry on that…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been raining all day here, but that’s ok. The farmers will be happy. But not for much longer! Then they’ll need the sun again! I was looking at our lovely collection of Fresh Cut Dies. They’ve been around for about as long as Dave and I have been married – just over 2 years. And I know this to be correct, because it was our laser cut wedding invitations which set the Fresh Cut…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Much cooler today. Wind and rain very welcome in this garden! Spent a pleasant morning spring cleaning, and getting my house in order, which is always good for the head. Nothing like a tidy up to convince you you’ve got more control!! And nothing like finding a mouse nest in a drawer to make you feel you’ve completely lost it! Mmm. Time to get a cat again? Romeo and Juliet would never have tolerated…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hot innit! Just finishing up on Hochanda with a couple of Mixed media hours. Glad you enjoyed the demos! I do like the old GelPress, don’t you? I did do an extra little demo, an extra, just in case there was time. But 6 is plenty. So here’s a little card which uses the Mixed Impression Beach n Pebble stamps… I used one of our new Mask shapes… They’re excellent for all sorts of…
Hi there Thanks for joining me. Hot or what?!? Just a quickie today, to shed a little light on the upcoming TV shows tomorrow at 9am and 1pm on HOCHANDA. My favourite kind of arty, grungy, Gelpressy printy stuff! A beautiful new Mixed Impressions double set, called Ocean Swirl, plus a double stencil set. The large loose pieces are just what you NEED in your life!! I got up at stupid o’clock this morning, to get the Hochanda filming done…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Wiped out today. After our virtual Open Days, I could do with a week off! We usually go on holiday about now! Not this year! This week we’re off to Hawaii on a Shac-Shack Tour! That’ll be fun. Sometimes the memory is as good as the real deal. Sometimes it’s even better. Certainly a lot cheaper!! Speaking of holidays, you know I finished that Wasgij jigsaw the other week? Have a closer look at…
Hi there lovely peeps! What a weekend! Long, but fun! It has been great hustling back and forth across the ocean with Gracie, keeping these virtual Clarity Open Days going. She has done such a cracking job, as have our lovely DT friends, who have been posting and sharing, inspiring and entertaining. The cool thing about Gracie being 5 hours behind us is that she is still going strong, while I am winding down slowly. So more giveaways on the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Time to get back up on the chair for a cheeky little Open Days Giveaway, methinks! Hands up who has got our Clarity Stencil brushes! Hands up who hasn’t! And hands up who wants a set! The thing about our brushes is you just can’t have enough of them. EVER! Check out my stash !! That doesn’t include the ones on the table… …or the ones in my Glastonbury pot that I wove –…
Hi there Happy friday! In fact Happy Day – Clarity Day! Sitting here, looking out of my SHAC-Shack window, waiting to go live on Facebook and finish our lovely Humming bird postcard, and am thinking about what we should e doing today. Dave wrote a great blog on Wednesday on Clarity Matters, about where we should be and where we are. Today, we should be scurrying around the huge lovely hall in Ditton, welcoming our Clarity guests to our Open…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Felt the need to immerse myself in a little artwork when I got in from work. To be frank, it’s pretty gutty at the moment, so an hour of down time before bedtime is just what the doctor ordered. That, and a cup of ginger with lemon and honey. Nothing too tricky. Just a couple of nice stamps on some Shenandoah Designer card. After I had planted the delicate seedheads, I wished I had…
