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….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in East Sussex again. Thoroughly enjoyed the daily doodle this morning. Hope those of you who joined in did too! I am loving the finished artworks you are posting on our Facebook group, Clarity Worldwide! Who knew we were all such great illustrators?!? Well, you never know until you try, do you. We are on HOCHANDA TV today too, showcasing some of my very favourite designs: the Birds in the…
Hi there. Greeting from the SHAC-Shack! In case you’re wondering, SHAC stands for: Safe – Happy – and – Creative Stay – Home – and – Craft I settled down to finish a little piece of artwork I started last week, when we launched Tina’s beautiful Floral Doodle flowers on HOCHANDA TV, and thought I would step it up and blog it for you. My Mum always calls me her little Daffodil, because I was born in March. How lovely…
Hi there Greetings from my little Clarity SHAC-Shack! How are things in your little SHAC-Shack? I do hope you are okay. Our daily Artworkout is going well! So glad you are enjoying it too. I was thinking about the weeks ahead, was thinking that we should really make the most of all this time in isolation (together), to learn different colouring techniques too. Colouring-in is one of THE most mindful, calming pastimes out there. For ANYBODY. But we crafters are…
Hi there, Greetings from the Clarity SHAC-Shack! Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe and well. This Corona Virus is certainly a game changer. Boy oh boy. Words fail me – and that doesn’t happen often! I’ve stopped obsessing about watching the news – it really serves no purpose. I just get anxious, and despondent. Much better to focus on what I can do to help. Which is keep Clarity going, make sure the team are safe and…
Greetings from the CLARITY SHAC-SHACK ! Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe. We had our daily 9am conference call with some of the Clarity team earlier – the guys and gals who are helping keep the good ship Clarity afloat during this time. I have worked from home for many years, so this is nothing new to me. But for most of the team, working in isolation when you’re used to working across the desk from one…
