Hi there, Thanks for popping in. After a busy morning at work, it was down time this afternoon, colouring time, prep time for tomorrow morning’s SHAC. I have enjoyed this one. You know you are enjoying it when you want to do it again, but differently. So tomorrow we tackle the frame. I kept it very simple and colourful. The picture is so busy, I thought it best to go vanilla on the outside! Well, colourful vanilla. I can’t be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had a little revelation yesterday. As I mentioned, went out to work really early when it was dark, and drove straight into a flash flood. I tell you this, not to get a pat on the back for going into work early on a Sunday morning with Paul, Jilly, Leanne and Brother Steve (although a pat on the back feels good from time to time!). I tell you about my drive into work because…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. It’s been tipping down here in the southeast ! Stair rods, cats n dogs. I set off for work really early this morning, and it was fine. Dark, but dry. Then about 10 minutes into the drive, it came down out of nowhere – like a torrent. Couldn’t see the road for rain. Proper flash flood. The last time I experienced rain like that was in Atlantic City on the east coast of the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is from me to you, right? How about a little blog candy? Perhaps a little piece of artwork? I’ve got a little piece of artwork here. It’s a simple piece. I walked the brayer over white stencil card with a selection of acrylic paints, then stamped a row of wonderful trees over the top. Mel drew these ; they are so lovely to use! Proper doodle trees! click here to find. They…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been prepping next weekend’s TV shows on HOCHANDA this afternoon. Want to get ahead of the curve this week, because you just never know what’s around the corner, do you… I do know that my fabulous front loading kiln is being delivered tomorrow though, so that’ll be a few hours learning how it works ! I can’t wait to give you a little virtual tour of the Pottery Studio when it’s all set. We’re…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Looking back over this past week, it has been quite an eventful one. We has 9 hours of Hochanda TV at the start of the week, coupled with trying to get our own Pergamano sale orders out the door. On Thursday we had blow-the-doors-off Pergamano TV shows! Paul showcased Linda Williams’ New Christmas Tree Plate and the Christmas Tree Kit we had been working on for weeks was sold out in under half an…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just had Grace on Facetime, in tears. Happy tears. Massive relief. The Official News just announced that Joe Biden has won the 2020 US Presidential Election. Grace opened her apartment window in Brooklyn for us – and the whooping, cheering, clapping and bibbing was so loud! It’s like the lid came off, and New York can breathe again. Then Mark called from San Francisco. They just woke up to the good news too. So…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sometimes the pressure builds. It builds over many days, weeks even. The noise gradually gets louder and louder, until you can’t hear yourself think. You think you’ve got it under control, you think you’re doing okay, even with rush hour traffic pouring through your head. You ignore the signs, you keep pushing. One day at a time you just plough on. But then you hit a wall. Woke up this morning and knew I…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie before we go live on HOCHANDA at 2pm. It’s a busy busy TV day for Clarity today. And I must add, a very busy STAMP day! Although this was actually more coincidence than planning, it does let dear Brother Steve catch up with the Groovi backlog production! Please bear with us if you are waiting for an order from the Half Price Pergamano sale. We are going like the clappers. Lucky…
Hi there! Thanks for poppeting in. Oh boy! You liked Tina’s Mandalas then! Good grief! Paul is back on at 12 and 4 today. We’ve added more stock, both for the Groovi plates AND the stamps! Hope it lasts. In the meantime, continuing on with our Pergamano celebrations, I was chatting away to lovely Tina yesterday evening, in between sellout shows! She was über chuffed that her designs are so popular. It’s a huge endorsement, to have a big and…
