Hi there! Or should I say Hujambo! Still on a whirlwind tour of Africa here. Tomorrow, sadly, we have to return home. But we’ve had a fabulous time with SHAC-Shack tours. The tour guide wasn’t bad; her spelling was a bit ropey today. Had all the A’s but not necessarily in the right order! That said, her pronunciation was spot on! Hahaha. So just for the record, Kaa salama is correct for Stay Safe, and you say it Castle-llama. Perfect….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had such a fun morning in the SHAC Shack. Who knew we spoke Swahili too?!? To be continued…when? Tomorrow at 10 am of course! To continue the Africa Day Celebrations and get your creative juices flowing, let’s take a look at a few fab artsamples which I found in our Africa Box… These wonderful animal stamps have been illustrated by our good friend Mel Turner. Come complete with masks. And I drew the Maasai…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are safe and well? Grace just sent me a message. Here’s what she wrote: “Did you know it was AFRICA DAY yesterday?” Well, no I didn’t, did you?!? What were the chances of us flying off to Africa the very day it’s actually AFRICA DAY!!! Twas clearly meant to be!! I LOVE IT WHEN THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN!! Makes me think that there IS a plan! You see! I told you there…
Hi there. Hope you’re ok today? I looked back to the 23rd May 2019 this morning, just to get some perspective on today, and it threw a whole heap of emotions at me. A year ago today, we were on our way out the door to visit Gracie in New York. It was the trip when we were making a plan for her to join the Clarity Team. We had been to see Jools Holland the evening before (Paul’s Christmas…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Too many plates in the air today; too many thoughts flying through the head, like cars on the M25. So much to do that I don’t know where to start. In fact, it’s a perfect storm for a washing machine head. Been rotating on the spot since our Daily Doodle Session and…. Only one thing for it: CRAFT. Clear the head, make a card, then make a list, then stick to it. Got to…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How has your day been? Did you manage to do any crafting? Paul and I picked and packed orders all day. It was the first time we’ve hung out together in ages – at a sensible distance, of course – so it was actually really fun. I picked and he packed. All good. Like I said before, the new factory is a bit like the Mary Celeste, but hey. Nobody has died. Nothing terminal….
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, Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe and well. Monday in the SHAC-Shack, and it’s been a good start to the week. Doodled a bird with a fringe during our 10am Facebook Live Daily Doodle seesion, and had a total giggle fit. You know. One of those real proper ones, when you just can’t stop. Which is better than any medicine, isn’t it? Let me find you the link …. The quality on Youtube isn’t ideal,…
Hi there. Greetings from the Clarity SHAC-Shack! I hope you are safe and well? Day 4 in the house, and all is well. It occurred to me this morning that I am experiencing a shift in my attitude. I can only speak for myself, but today for example, Dave had to run the gauntlet and go shopping for Mum, Dad, and ourselves. Check out the message on his hat… When he finally got home, we had a pretty weird half…
