Hi there Thanks for popping in. Huge excitement here at Clarity! It’s nearly 6 o’clock, which means it’s nearly time for our once a month not to be missed One Day Special Show on The Craft Store (was HOCHANDA). Paul’s driving the creative bus this month – he’s been gearing up for this one all day! I think Linda Williams – she who designs these immaculate trifold cards – has totally nailed this third and latest set of It’s a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. You may recall we launched a new Offer of the Week idea on Monday, and kicked the first week off with a little lovely love… The LOVE Heart stampset that we doodled together in the SHAC SHAC , which also comes as a Groovi Plate. At half price, plus your Clarity Club Member’s discount, this is definitely the ideal time to take advantage – especially as we are offering you fab step-by-step inspiration projects…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are safe and well. All good here. It has been a very long day indeed. Today, at the crack of sparrows, and for the second day in a row, I went to Clarity Towers. It’s time. Time to pick up where we left off a year ago. Time to fire up the engines and buckle up. This is going to be a busy bustle! You may recall a year ago, just before…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The sun is streaming in through the window, the shoots are just starting to green on the trees, and spring is in the air – at last! Is it time to pull out our short-sleeved tops and shorts yet? Not quite!! But we can certainly get in the warm weather mood with these superb butterflies (with their cut-to-fit masks) illustrated by Cherry Green. You may recall that I talked about them in the SHAC…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! So there I was, designing a Paisley sampler for Paul and your good Groovi selves to play with in the Groovi Tuesday sessions on Facebook Live soon, and another pair of very-handy-indeedy sampler plates surfaced in the Pergamano Show on The Craft Store today! Samplers really are a great learning tool and builder tool, aren’t they? The two brand new plates which Paul expertly showcased earlier have been designed by Josie Davidson – our…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just heard the sad news that Prince Philip died this morning. 99 years old. What a legend. End of an era. Who was at the Clarity Retreat at the Crowborough Rugby Club the year he landed on the Rugby field in a helipcopter? July 2014? One minute we were all heads down, getting arty and crafty… The next we were out in the sunshine, waving and clapping, cheering and whooping – and welcoming the…
Hi there,thanks for popping in. HOME. Let’s talk about HOME. What a word, eh? Home is where the heart is, Home is where I hang my hat… There’s no place like Home. It’s so good to be back home… Home isn’t a place – it’s a feeling. Home is a shelter from storms – all kinds of storms. Home is where our story begins. Pick a line, any line. They all resonate with me. How about you? HOME. We just…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. You know Linda Williams, don’t you? The super talented Welsh Parchment artist? My best friend too, as it happens. To know her is to love her. And I certainly do love her. Quite aside from being a uniquely creative individual, and having a wonderful art style of her own, she really is a fabulous woman. And this evening we are very proud to be launching a brand new Groovi collection of her art. Read…
Happy Easter Sunday! I hope the sun is shining where you are, and that you are enjoying this Easter weekend? I have been going through today’s TV demos one more time this morning, to make sure I have everything to hand when it kicks off at 2pm. I hope you can join me on The Craft Store (Hochanda) for a couple of hours between 2 and 4 pm. I shall be taking you on a whistle stop tour of London,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thoroughly enjoying a weekend off here. Actually, my idea of a weekend off is hardly what YOU might call a weekend off ! I have spend hours clearing away Friday’s TV wreckage (it always looks like a big Bomzitit after a busy TV show !) I’ve also been prepping, writing, planning, blogging and preparing for tomorrow’s SHAC. I’ve been cleaning, doing laundry, changing the bedding, blitzing the pottery studio to make room for the…
