Hi there Thanks for popping in. On Friday evening, during our Moment of Clarity LIVE Craftalong on Youtube / Facebook LIVE, I rolled the brayer off onto a few little scraps. If you watched you may recall, I was telling you all about the misty Scottish highlands that I could see in the little scrap… So I thought I’d play the film right through to the end, so you too could see what I see! Simple step by step coming…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m in the middle of listening to a novel on Audible at the moment. It‘s entitled ‘The Favoured Child’ by Philippa Gregory. It’s the sequel to Wideacre, a story about the Lacey family – Beatrice in particular. The sequel skips a generation and picks up with another Lady Lacey: Julia. Anyway, it’s easy listening, well narrated and very well written, so it keeps me company when I’m driving back and forth to mum’s house,…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Rainy Sunday, so a perfect day for crafting. Pottery this morning. Made a start on the Totem Pole. This could take a while, but hey! Who’s in a rush?? You just need a little vision and a lot of patience… Oh. And a ruler and pencil… Remember the sketch? Well, this is the base piece. That’s 6 hours so far. But who’s counting? It’s a good job I don’t have to make a living…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Easter Monday and all is well. Was watching Iolo Williams trekking through the Welsh marches earlier, and suddenly had a hankering to do some stencil art. So here is a splash of treescape colour, stepped up. I used our lovely treescape Stencil, designed by Mel. An hour or so of inky distraction was just what the doctor ordered… Look out for it behind me the next time we hang out together in the SHAC!…
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…
Happy Easter friends! I hope you have a pleasant weekend planned with friends and family. We‘re here, although Dave and Paul are using the empty office time to move some big equipment from one factory to the other. I did ask if I could help, but the answer was “not really”. So I‘ll be chief cook and bottle washer instead. Look what came through the letterbox here this week…the official invitation! Thanks to several of you lovely people, who went…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you’ve enjoyed your Sunday? I thought I’d do a photo step up the SHAC art I started on TV last week, using a set of those Floral Panel Stamps…the Tulip. Here goes… Now would you mind if I let the pictures do the talking? I’m pretty bushed to be honest! Pretty easy to follow, right? Stamps and Groovi Plates all available HERE See you bright and early in the SHAC at 10am tomorrow….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Dave and I were watching a load of crows in the sky, and I remembered ages ago in the SHAC how we‘d had a cool session, learning all the collective nouns and names for the various groups of birds. Could I remember the Crows? A Parliament of crows I thought, but then I was pretty sure the Owls were also a parliament. …so what do you do? You let your fingers do the walking,…
