Hi there Thanks for popping in. Woke up early this morning to snow in the garden. Immediately, my focus moved from worrying about the Clarity team being safe at work, with masks and visors and sanitizers, to worrying about them GETTING to work on icy roads and snowy back lanes! Instantly, Covid and the Pandemics dropped to No. 2 on the Daily Obsession Hitlist, and The Weather zoomed to Number 1 !! As I stood in my pyjamas looking out…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you if you tuned into the Hochanda TV shows the past 2 days and supported Clarity. If you missed the 2pm show, you can watch online HERE and it continued at 3pm HERE If you missed the launch of the One Day Special, you can watch online HERE But now on to the Elf Hunt!! Remember searching for those little imps on the website in…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was just working on a quick little demo for tomorrow’s TV show on Hochanda 2pm-4pm, to highlight the Framework shapes stencil set. So basic, so simple! But really effective when overlaid too. Just in case I don’t get to them tomorrow, here’s how they work… They fit inside each, so you can overlay colours. Use ink or paint. Use a Gelpress too. Here I’ve just used the square and heart frames together, with brushes…
Happy New Year !!! I won’t keep you long. Just wanted to thank you for all your loyal support and custom throughout what was a very challenging 2020. Past tense. Done. Finished. Gone. There have been a lot of positives too. If you’re reading this blog, then you made it!! A lot of people didn’t. That’s the truth of it. So with that in mind, let’s keep smiling, and let’s keep going. New year, new start, new beginnings. New Year’s…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got caught up in art today, which is not a bad thing. Only downside is that I was supposed to be prepping for telly on Sunday, but got swept away with a Castle Mask and a lovely background Designer paper! It only takes a few of my favourite things to send me off on a tagent. And then, when I am in the job, when I am immersed in the process, there’s nothing for…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Happy Bank Holiday Monday! Monday’s blog is trees & flowers, so I made two quickie cards, using the same stampset : the Deerscape and Meadowdance. I think the trees in this set are superb. If you use the sides of the tree stamps, they make great hedgrows and busshes too! One was made using the Mixed Impression Ocean Swirl in the background. I had a few spares kicking around, begging to be stamped on!…
Hi there Ho Ho Ho! Happy Christmas! Thanks for popping in. I hope you are doing ok, and that you are enjoying whatever it is that you are doing this Christmas? This mornng flew by! What, with a TV show and a LIVE hour in the SHAC Shac, I really didn’t have time to even think about who wasn’t here! That’s the secret: Keep busy. After our Coffee and Mince pie get together in the SHAC Shac, which was such…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Tuesday’s blog rolls back the hours, right? Well let’s look back at this day last year, and see what was going on, shall we? Blimey. Just glanced back at last year’s blog, because it is like a diary of sorts, isn’t it. Took the bus to Brighton and back a year ago today. Went shopping down the Lanes. It was a crisp winter’s day. And yesterday evening, we went up to London and spent…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. According to the experts, subscriptions are on the up across the board. My guess is that as people are currently unable to join clubs physically, they are joining them remotely. I imagine that companies are also breathing a lot of energy into their online clubs, since that is the only way to do business for many. Same with our Clarity Craft Clubs. We also took a good look at them and have made some…
