Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Easter weekend! I hope you are enjoying the break. Loving the absence of cars on the road outside. Nothing like a little quiet to calm the mind and get some clarity. Feeling a little under the weather here. Nothing serious – just a persistent cough which has been picking up momentum all week. I haven’t really got back on track since my last bout of pneumonia etc, so this has knocked me back…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the south of England. What a difference a ray of sunshine makes! Mind you, the windows! The windows! Nothing like a little sunshine to highlight the smears and dust and dirt!! So had a little blitzy spring clean first thing, opened all the windows, let some fresh air in – and Life is good today! I hope you enjoyed our two Clarity shows on The Craft Store yesterday! I…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quick little stamping on parchment step by step, using Tina’s lovely new Robin stamps. CLICK HERE Tricks n tips, right?

You see, you can see through the parchment, so this copy-paper version becomes your template, or pattern as it were,…
