Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Can’t stop long. The wasp buster came out this afternoon to get rid of the big wasp’s nest just in the roof above my head here, and they’re pretty angry now, so I won’t hang around too long! Should be fine by tomorrow morning, in good time for our SHAC Shack session! Anyway, I am writing extra fast here, so I can beat a hasty retreat! Did you catch the first hour of Linda’s…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Ventured into Lidl’s on the way home from the office. Put my mask on and went a-shopping for my parents. It’s the first time I’ve been in an actual supermarket since March, unless the Marks n Sparks attached to the petrol station counts. It doesn’t. The wierdest thing is that I was really excited! Happy even. To be able to walk along an aisle in a shop and select what I wanted from the…
Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in again! Oh boy oh boy! What a launch!! Proud Mum moment here. I knew you’d like these little beauties by Marina, and we made so many stamps! Hats off to Jason and the team for pulling this mega project off. It has been amazing. And just what the doctor ordered at Clarity. So thank you thank you, for watching, supporting and investing in us again. We have more of these little beauties in the…
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!…
