Hi there Thanks for popping in.

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy morning. Already been to a hospital appointment early doors. Dave took me. I may actually be able to drive there myself, and sort myself out, but to be honest, my confidence has been rattled. I guess that’s normal, and I look forward to getting back behind the wheel, but easy does it. I have to say it again, in my experience, Pembury Tunbridge Wells hospital is pretty excellent. From parking the car to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Monday again. Strange, since every day seems like a Saturday nowadays! Pottering around the house, doing a bit of Spring cleaning, and finding all sorts of little arty samples and things I am loath to part with… First up, the lino prints I created a while ago, and we made into stamps. Makes me think I’d like to pursue that artform again. I had actually booked a 2-evening course for Dave and myself…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. You know you’re getting better when you get your pencils and tracing paper out, and get lost in a world of sketches and doodles. Today was quite lovely. Sitting at the kitchen table, sun pouring in, and trying to transfer the pictures in my head to paper. It didn’t quite translate as I had hoped, but I went with it. There are loads more, and I’ll try unlocking them during the week, but all…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I opened the bedroom curtains early this morning, the sky was a beautiful pinky grey. Glorious. A room with a View. We actually have a wonderful collection of Room with a View dies, illustrated for us by our talented friend, Mel Turner. I love her work, and I particularly love this set. It reminds me of sitting on the bus from here to Brighton, and looking out over the South Downs from the…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and had a good weekend. The weekend was a bit of a blur for me after Friday’s TV shows on the new Create and Craft. It was a very long day, left the house at 3am and with a few overnight road closures and diversions arrived just before 6am! Left the studio at 3pm and ran into all the normal Friday afternoon traffic and arrived back at the house just…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Don’t panic, I haven’t started writing in code! I thought I would shine a light on the additions to this weeks W.I.G.I.G (When It’s Gone, It’s Gone!)

Hi there Thanks for popping in. The sun is shining here. Always improves the mood, don’t you find? I was humming “Oh what a beautiful morning“ from Oklahoma to myself earlier ( I only actually know the chorus!), and just by total chance, I found this artwork. OH!! I said, Quelle coincidence! Here we see Ragnar and Erik when they first came to us. I used our Letterbox stampset to spell out their names – probably THE most essential stampset…
