Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. Saturday’s blog a new technique. And we are having a 40% sale on our Groovi Borders, so I decided to show you a neat way to get coloured parchment. Place the A5 parchment on your Clarity Blending mat. Load your brayer with a dye-based ink colour – I used Sail Boat Blue. Start rolling the brayer back and forth across one end at an angle. Turn your attention to the other end, and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! A little late I know. But I spent the day down in Bognor Regis with Dee, and then took the scenic route home. And I mean THE SCENIC ROUTE. Must have been singing too loudly along with my good friend Dave (aka Bowie), because I suddenly went from doing 80 along the A27 to doing 8 up a mud track!! Not to worry. Had a brill day with Dee. A good old chinwag, lovely…

Hi there, Welcome to mindful Wednesday! This is where we come together to talk about LIFE, take a look at various coping mechanisms on offer. Where we fill our little survival toolkit with tricks, tips and techniques. Well, this week I’d like to talk about Acceptance. George Orwell once said, “Happiness can only exist in Acceptance” I am so with him on that one! But to really believe that, to accept that as the truth, I suppose we need to check the…

Hi there! What a rainy Bank Holiday it is! Don’t you feel sorry for all those poor country fairs and shows which are a complete washout? I have done enough of them in my time. You know you’re in trouble when the tractors have to haul your van INTO the grounds BEFORE the show!! So a quiet day today. Just taking stock, and settling down to a normal working week again. After all the excitement of the HOCHANDA launch, I…
Hi there, Thank you so much for popping in today. Just got back from the HOCHANDA studios. Before we settle down and chillax for the evening, both Dave and I want to thank you for all your upbeat support during this launch weekend. I can tell you now, it has been one of the best experiences ever. To be involved at the very outset of something as mammoth as launching a TV Channel. You just can’t imagine it. To be…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Well, here’s the big day. The first live show on the new channel Hochanda. In case you haven’t figured it out yet: Home of Crafts, Hobbies and Art. Cool name. Say it like a Chinese person. Go on, I dare you! Hochandaaaa Hahaha! Enough flippancy, Gray! This is serious business!! As if I didn’t know that. I’ve been up since 6am! This is mostly due to the early morning coffee room delivery I asked…
Hi there! Happy Friday. Thank you for popping in today. After the strain of yesterday’s Hochanda new TV channel launch, I decided to step back and enjoy the lovely town of Stamford. What a place! And the George Hotel is very lovely, I must say! This morning I went into the little secret garden at the back… Actually, what happened was, I was trying to get a phone signal to call my Mum and Dad, so stepped outside. I figured…
Oh My Giddy Aunt!!!! This is the funniest thing ever!!!! I had suggested to the ladies at work that they all have a little party and enjoy the new adventure our little company is about to embark on. It was Debby’s birthday today too, and she had already got the doughnuts, so I said, I said, have a party! Get some lemonade! I had also asked my Mum and Dad to join us, because they are on Virgin and Mum…
