Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m all set and packed for the next two days up at Create & Craft. Lots of demose, tricks n tips. I hope you have time to tune in. There are some pretty lovely stamps and stencils being launched… First off, it’s our new In the SHAC with Clarity Show at 3pm & 7pm Many of your fellow SHACKERS may remember these lovely framers that we doodled together? Well Jazz has worked her magic,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. The One Day Special is well underway on Create & Craft, Paul is doing a cracking job, and the Floral Bijou ABC is proving very popular – which is good news indeed! Paul and I had planned on sharing the TV hours, but I had to go to the dentist today, and it couldn’t be cancelled. The injections are wearing off now, and I’m not feeling great to be honest. But it has to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a good day today. We have good days and growing days, right? Some days are easy, others are more challenging. But today has been a GOOD DAY! It started with a very productive meeting first thing with the Clarity Design crew. This is how it goes. Somebody has an idea (on this occasion it was myself). We then call a meeting with the team, bounce said idea around, gather responses, throw suggestions…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Lots of TV shows this week. Tina is back today at 11am and 3pm with the Pergamano show, which will be delightful as ever. I will highlight the products and art samples down below, but for now I want to talk about something, and I’ll start with this quote for the day. We can’t help the thoughts that come into our heads, but we don’t have to voice them all! Barb I bumped into…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. In a bid to switch off from work, and break the Nose-to-the-grindstone routine, I ventured out to my pottery studio this afternoon. I had started an Architectural sculpture course at the beginning of the year, but then things happened, and pottery got mothballed. Been missing from class pretty much the whole term. But the architectural project has been waiting patiently for me to find my mojo, and this afternoon it landed! It comprises layers….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m going upstairs to my little art-studio above the garage for the first time in months. I had prepped the TV show for January, but then that weekend Dad died, so Paul jumped in. I haven’t been back up there since. It’s time. You know what I mean. I am going back on Telly next Wednesday, to launch the 6pm ODS, so I’d best be prepared; better for the head to be ahead of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been hanging out with Ragnar and Dave by the Aga. This Empyema certainly is a thing! You feel fine, you can breathe fine, you can drink tea fine. No pain. But wait until you move around! A leisurely stroll to the fridge and you feel like you’ve run down to Sainsbury’s and back! Ah well. I guess I shall just have to stop running down to Sainsbury’s! It’ll be ok. There is so much…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Firstly thank you so very very much for all your positive and kind messages! What a tonic! I had the loveliest of mornings, just sitting by the Aga (the cats are never far away), opening the many Thinking of You cards, condolence cards on Dad’s passing, and then the Speedy recovery cards! So much beautiful artwork! I promise you, the very first thing we’re going to do, before we even fire up the SHAC…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just thought I’d surface for an hour, have a little chat. You keep me company. It’s all very nice having single rooms, but it does get lonely. Got a marvellous view from this respiratory wing too..let me see if I can add a photo . Blogging on your phone is always a challenge ! It’s a waiting game now. Empyema is pretty serious, so I just have to trust the process. The drain is…
