Hi there Thanks for popping in. Lovely day here today! Blue skies and white, billowy pillow clouds. The birds are twittering and chatting away to each other, and the new, bright green shoots on the trees are swaying to the gentle breeze. Everything is coming alive. And it’s good to be alive. I won’t stay long. Feeling a little under par. Had my second jab this afternoon, and I sure doesknow it. Still. It certainly beats the alternative, and I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Good news! Our Spot – On Sponges were delivered at Clarity today! I never thought I’d jump for joy when a consignment of glorified make-up sponges landed – but WOOHOO!!! I can finally stop washing the tired old ones I’ve got left. I actually found half a pack buried in a box at the back of a drawer in the SHAC at the weekend when I was cleaning – you’d have thought I’d found…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Long walk through the bluebells this evening, to clear the head. Freshly rained on, beautiful blue carpet, amazing scent! We followed the path, and went where it took us… Listened to a cuckoo, and met with a couple of deer, too. In fact, more deer than humans, which was quite refreshing. On the subject of wonderful nature, I had been working on some new clay tiles in the morning, experimenting with black iron oxide….
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Isn’t it frustrating when you get up especially early, make not one but two rounds of sandwiches to take to work – and then leave them on the counter in the kitchen. Ahh… but what sweet relief when the wife calls and says she’s bringing them to the factory on her way to a meeting. Lucky Dave. Lucky for him I don’t like salad cream! And I’m trying to lay off the bread, so…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We thought we’d do something special this week for our Offer of the week. The Butterfly Wreath was the first Groovi Plate we designed – and it is still our most popular plate. In fact, Paul used the plate in the Groovi Tuesday SHAC for weeks when we launched that Facebook Live Craftalong. Lots of you asked us whether we could turn the design into stamps. Answer: Yep! So here we have it. The…
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…
