Hi there I’ve been up since before 6 o’clock! With Dave being in hospital, it is all a bit strange. He’s in a lot of pain, and that makes me feel anxious, too. In fact I was woken by Erik, miaowing outside the bedroom window! He’d been out all night, and normally Dave let’s him in at the crack of dawn. So he must have been sitting outside the back door, waiting patiently. Then, when Dave didn’t open the door,…
Hi there Just a quick blog this evening, to shine a light on these rather fabulous Richelieu lace plates, brand new, and designed by Linda Williams herself. What’s Richelieu lace? I hear you ask. Well, I didn’t know what it was called, but I have always been drawn to this kind of lace.. You will know the sort. Where areas are cut away, and often almost tanged together by these woven threads. Turns out these connectors are called bars or…
Hi there Busy day at Clarity Towers today. Had a good meeting with the team, and ticked a load of boxes. Since we are launching brand new, really REALLY useful stamps designed by Jazz, and a new game-changer product this Sunday (invented and made almost entirely by Dave), there is a lot to consider! …Like I said, there is a whole can of P’s for a 2-hour TV show! But I am really looking forward to showing you what we’ve…
Hi there. After a day of business meetings and coffee in London, we caught the last train home to Tunbridge Wells before the commuter craziness commenced – and it do get busy! Standing room only after 5pm. And what did we do when we got off the train? Yep we moseyed on down to the local Smith & Western, for a shot of Shania Twain, a dose of Dolly Parton – a dirty burger for Dave, and Fajitas for little…
Hi there Apologies for the absence this week. It has been so hectic since we got back from our holidays! I am starting to think about booking another one! A really, really LONG one! Just a little recap…. No wonder I’m cream crackered! I finished the November Club projects this morning, cleared the decks for the SHAC tonight, figured out what we’re all doing together – and once I have blogged this, I am going for a little nap. Thing…
Hi Went for our flu jab, which was pretty rapid! In one door and out the other! Literally one minute from entry to exit. God bless the NHS. Then went for an early walk up on the forest with Dave, to clear the head. Got to keep it in the day, stop projecting. Serves no purpose. I decided to clear up my art room when we got back; what a mess it was! Still hadn’t even cleared away the boxes…
Hi there Been busy today, prepping for a TV show on Sunday 3-5pm. I do hope you will be able to watch! These new Poppet stamps are rather delightful! Here’s a blue-ish card I made today, using a split Companion Paper background… The Designer Paper and the matching Companion Paper I have used here are from our new Antarctica Collection. What a splendid combination of blues, teals, pinks and more. I just love these colours! The little Poppets are new…
Hi there Last day of September. Had the whole of September off work. Am just sitting in front of a log fire with Dave, watching Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse Gone Fishing. And I have to say, Life is good. Those two blokes really show you how to relish the simple things in life. Such brilliant English humour. Had a busy day at Clarity. Enjoyed hanging out with Paul and Jazz and Jim and Jilly. Got loads of planning done….
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Well, we’re as ready as we’ll ever be! Slight change of plan on the presenter front. So I’m working with Dean at 6pm !!! I know, right? I just told you he and I are close friends – and lo! There he is. So that will be good. Here is a summary of the timetable of birthday events this weekend, just in case you fancy keeping us company. Looks like the Floral ABC is…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I got caught up making little cards today, out of the new 4×4 inch card blanks and envelopes that are pouring out of the Pinky Gray printroom at the moment, in readiness for our 31st Birthday weekend on Create & Craft! I used a print I had made using the new leafy layering stencils, which wasn’t very exciting as a whole. In fact, I didn’t even bother taking a photo of it. Yep. That…
