Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Friday already. Where did that week go? In fact, where have the past 9 weeks gone, since lockdown began 23rd March ?? It’s actually uncanny how quickly we humans adapt to new, changed circumstances, isn’t it? Friday’s blog a private peep, right? Well, I think that the daily doodles on Facebook Live have really opened a door into my private life! I’ve always been quite open, but our relationship – yours and mine –…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Following on from yesterday’s blog, I want to highlight the second set of Doodle Stamps from our SHAC-Shack mornings together. We decided to go with the Hot air balloon and added a really cool separate frame stamp. So with the help of the additional masks, you can build scenes, with or without the balloon, with or without the rolling hills and trees. Yes. This set is very, VERY versatile. I have had a really…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Got something very special to show you, something fresh out of the oven, something which we have made, and which is coming up next Saturday on Hochanda at 1pm in a special one hour show…. Let’s see if you recognise it…. Yep! Here’s how it happened.. Every time we’ve done a doodle session, which is every day for weeks, afterwards when Paul and I are discussing how it went, he says, “your doodle would…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been working away, preparing a bunch of Hochanda TV Demos next week. We’ve got shows every day from Wednesday to Saturday, I think! Yikes. Just want to get ahead of the curve – you really don’t know what’s round the corner, do you? So best to get what you can done done! Also had a good sort out and tidy up here in our little SHAC Shack. It’s been getting progressively worse as the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Pergathursday on HOCHANDA today! Sold out of that lovely new Rose Arch Groovi Plate, designed by Linda Williams. Very nice too! The Groovi-Pergamano community is certainly growing. I think a lot of crafters and creative people are figuring out just how mindful and relaxing parchment work is – especially using the Groovi system. And there}s no time like the present if you’re wanting to learn a new skillset! Blimey! You’ve certainly got the time!!…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s blowing a houlie outside today! Had to record TV demos in between the downpours! Later, when I spoke to Paul, he had had the same problem over at Clarity Towers (Tin roof, he reckons!) where he was recording videos for the Sunday evening Show. But heyho. It’s all good. At least rain has stopped play with the obnoxious neighbour! He’s had to stop demolishing whatever he’s demolishing and go indoors too! It never…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe and enjoying some sunshine? Spent a good portion of the day in the garden, as prescribed. Listened to a book, started a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, watched the birds. Stepped away from the business for a day. You just can’t see the spot you’re standing on, can you? As my Dad always says, you have to be on the outside of the goldfish bowl looking in, not swimming around….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope your day has been a good one? Beautiful and sunny here in the Southeast of England today! I ran a food delivery over to my parents’ house this afternoon. Dave ran the shop gauntlet earlier, while we were all merrily doodling; then I took over, so that he could get back to PPE production. It was good to see Mum and Dad, even at a distance. We had a good old catch up,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hope you are staying safe and keeping busy? BUSY??I’ve already blitzed the bedroom, the bathrooms and the kitchen! Listened to 3 chapters of my book at the same time, emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher and folded the laundry (I draw the line at ironing today!) . Oh. AND had my yoghurt!! What next ???? It’s TV day today. At 11am and 3pm we are away with the fairies! Showcasing magnificent Fairy dies, stamps,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Quite a day today! Have you ever left the house, and then just as the door closes, you realise you’ve left your keys on the kitchen table? With your phone? Yep, that was my first party piece today. Was all set to go out to my little SHAC-shack above the garage, to fire up the cameras and get going on our daily doodle session at 10am – and gasp. Locked out of the house….
