Josie’s Embossed Pattern Samplers

Josie’s Embossed Pattern Samplers

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…

Ally Pally Weekend

Ally Pally Weekend

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…

Home Sweet Home!

Home Sweet Home!

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…

What a Special Launch this evening…

What a Special Launch this evening…

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…

A Little Pottery Giveaway

A Little Pottery Giveaway

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…

What does SHAC-SHAC stand for?

What does SHAC-SHAC stand for?

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just came off Hochanda Live TV. Really love working with those people. They are, without exception, a really smashing bunch. Actually, if you haven’t heard, the channel has a new name: THE CRAFT STORE by HOCHANDA. Finally! Very happy about this. I have been suggesting since DAY 1 that they include the word CRAFT in the name of the channel, only so that newcomers surfing the internet or SKY actually KNOW that we are…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just coming down after our Reflection Session in the Moment of Clarity live Craftalongabarbie. I really enjoyed that! My kinda thing! Those reflection masks hit the spot for me 100%. Like putting on a comfy pair of shoes…I did take a few photos, just in case anybody wants to check out the sequence, but to be frank, I am wiped out. Been a busy day! Between the SHAC SHAC and the 3pm hour, I’m…
