Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in! Got these little girls on the brain at the moment! All set for the 6pm launch of Marina Fedotova’s Christmas Poppets? I sure am! I am really chuffed with myself right now. All week I KNEW I should be stamping these little cherubs on clear parchment in black, and creating a fabulous Josie Davidson grid around the outside. All week, I have been scrambling, doing demos for the TV launch, and saying to myself,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been in meetings all afternoon, making a plan for this coming Saturday. Paul, Jilly and I are sharing the load on this one, for which I am very grateful! Way too much on my assiette at the moment! You know when you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, don’t you. So it‘s good to be able to ask a friend – or two!! We’ve been working on a new line of stamps for…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Bit hot up here in the SHAC-Shack today, so forgive me if I keep it short and sweet! I-is-a-meltin’! Have been designing some new things, adding some action to a few of the many ideas which keep me awake at night! Will I sleep better? Doubt it! Just making more room for other ideas to fill the space! Thank you for tuning in and supporting the HOCHANDA TV Shows today. There’s always so much…
Hi there All aboard for a quick trip to the Netherlands! Cor, I wish!! I would be off to Leiden in a heartbeat, but I just don‘t think it’s safe at this time. And anyway, I am way too busy! But do head on over to our Clarity matters blog – the lads are in full swing over there, and there’s a little competition going too. Me? I’m up to my ass (that’s actually Dutch for arse!!) in stamps and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Yep, although today has been a day for paying bills and catching up on personal paperwork, I’m definitely doing day trips on my week off! Tomorrow I’m off to see Mum and Dad, and we’ll be taking a run out through the Kentish countryside in the car, just so they can see something other than their back garden. A change is as good as a rest, and all that! No need to get out…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Independence Day to all our American friends! Love and hugs Barb xxx
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. On my way out to a meeting with a few of the crew from work, to discuss some new ideas, and get a couple of fab new designs into production. Decided to check in with you here and write the blog before I leave, because these meetings invariably take longer than we think, and then I end up working till late into the evening. No good. If you don’t like something – change it!…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s no good. Way too hot up here in the SHAC-Shack to rustle up anything remotely creative this evening! Been prepping demos all afternoon, for Friday’s 9am and 1pm Mixed Media Shows on TV HOCHANDA.com. Lots of Gelpress and paint, which I love! Got so engrossed in the art process, I didn’t realise how sweltering it was in here under the eaves! Not until the paint stopped working because it got too hot –…
Good morning! Great to have your company again! The Clarity Virtual Open Days have been such fun so far. Now usually, it would all be over in the Hall. We would have packed everything up yesterday evening, and everybody would have been wending their merry way home last night or this morning if they had further to travel. But today, since it’s all virtual, since it’s all safe and online, we can keep it going! As soon as Grace wakes…
Hiya! Back up on the chair again! Time for another giveaway. Just got back from visiting my parents. Set Dad up on his bike. Left him studying the instructions on the various programmes! And Mium, she who’s always at my side when we do the Open Days is doing fine. She was sorry they’ve been shelved this year; she loves chatting away to everybody. Every year since we started the Open Days, we always say afterwards, “we’ll never be able…
