Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sunny day. Mum and Dad day. All round Fab day. Good conversation, great advice. I love to sit with them and just BE. Tomorrow at 2pm it’s HOCHANDA TV time, and we’re getting some of my all time Clarity faves out of the cupboard. The Flyaway Boy, for starters. Stamped on our new fabulous Stampboard. Blimming excellent. Here’s a little demo which didn’t get recorded for TV. Not because it didn’t cut the mustard!…
Hi there. Haven’t played with a die for a while. Found this trap-the-scrap piece from one of our Fresh Cut Funky Foliage Leave & Trees Dies, and decided to turn it into a card for someone special. She likes a little bling, so here goes…. Trap the white card scrap from the die on a double-sided adhesive sheet. Then simply cover it in Gilding flakes. We sell lots of different colours – really nice! Use the yellow sponge to buff…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. So glad this morning’s water colour SHAC-Shack was well received! I think we’ll have a good week, developing those new ideas and perhaps trying them out on different subjects! I had a real hankering to colour in our toadstools from last week’s woods, but was way too busy with so much else all afternoon. I saw somebody else on facebook had done it too, beautifully, and wanted to try it even…
Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in again! Oh boy oh boy! What a launch!! Proud Mum moment here. I knew you’d like these little beauties by Marina, and we made so many stamps! Hats off to Jason and the team for pulling this mega project off. It has been amazing. And just what the doctor ordered at Clarity. So thank you thank you, for watching, supporting and investing in us again. We have more of these little beauties in the…
Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in! Got these little girls on the brain at the moment! All set for the 6pm launch of Marina Fedotova’s Christmas Poppets? I sure am! I am really chuffed with myself right now. All week I KNEW I should be stamping these little cherubs on clear parchment in black, and creating a fabulous Josie Davidson grid around the outside. All week, I have been scrambling, doing demos for the TV launch, and saying to myself,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been a creative, constructive, uplifting day here. Spent the morning in my little Wendy house, prepping for tomorrow’s SHAC Shack Doodle session at 10am. Really looking forward to this coming week now I know where the bus is headed! Not going too far afield this time. I think a Staycation is in order, don’t you? Then I went for a long walk with Mel and her dogs. It rained a little, but that was…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been having a right old Feng Shui Session in the Shac-Shack! A wise woman suggested I move 27 things to get the flow, the good energy moving again… how about 2,700 things out the door?!? And then, when it was almost done and dusted, I ran out of steam. WIll have a fresh look at it tomorrow morning. But before I collapse in front of the box, let me post a simple project I…
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. 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. 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…
