Hi there There’s a little robin redbreast in our garden. He follows you everywhere! If I sit on the bench and have a cuppa – there he is an arm’s length away on the arm rest. If Dave chops wood, there he is again, perched on a log right there. When I load things into m car, he sits on the fence, watching me walk back and forth. I hear this a lot. Mum has a pet robin in her…
Hi there If you were at the Clarity Open Days and Workshops this weekend, you will have heard that dear Linda is finally hanging up her parchment hat, and retiring. Well, let me qualify that. Linda is still going to be designing beautiful Groovi plates for us, and has no intention of disappearing! She just decided that the Ditton Retreats, Workshops and Open Days are more than she can handle anymore. I totally get her. It’s Tuesday, and I still…
Hi there We were bowled over by your response to those fab gift boxes we made for the parchment angels. You obviously make small things and need a lovely little 4x4inch box. So we had a think, and decided to add some different coloured printed boxes to our growing gift-box selection… How about a FAB Festive Set – complete with matching ribbons – and wooden angel heads! We’ve also come up with very PRETTY Pastel colours too… All available HERE…
Hi there ’Twas the night before Christmas… well, not quite — but it’s coming up fast now! Only 51 days to go! Haha! Whose bright idea was it to start a 100-day countdown? Yep, that would be me and my big mouth! Still, I have to say, it’s proving rather useful for keeping me focused. How about you? I’ve always been a bit of a list-maker, and having this countdown mapped out really helps me stay on track. Well, I…
Hi there Twas the Night. Remember this collection of illustrated verses? The poem was actually written over 100 years ago, by Clement-Clarke Moore. Most of us know it. The poem is very dear to my heart, mostly because dear Grace used to read it to us on Christmas Eve, when she was a nipper. So, over a period of many years, I drew around several of the verses, until it grew into a proper little story book. We made them…

Hi there Just a quickie, to shine a light on a collection of fabulous framers, that we doodled together in the SHAC. Do you remember? I recall drawing the autumnal corners as if it were yesterday….. Seasonal Framers. Didn’t we do well?? In fact, we took those sketches, those doodles, and turned them into stamps and Groovi design plates… Aren’t they gorgeous?? Look at just a few art samples, and – if you haven’t got them – you will want…
Hi there We’re in the middle of an irresistible Autumn Sale at Clarity, so we thought we’d add a little touch of newness to our offering! Jazz has designed these four smashing Festive Midi plates for us, and we think there’s no time like NOW to add them to our wonderful art collection.
