Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s all go here! In between drawing Geishas, and doodling cherry blossoms, we are just about to launch a fab new website. Pergamano.com. Finally. It’s been a while in the construction, but we’re almost there now! Next Monday is the Big Day. Got a few tests to run, a few links to change and a Gallery to top n tail – but then – we’ll be stood at the door in our best frocks…
Hi there. Hope your Sunday is going well, that you are doing ok. The sun is warming up the garden, the birds are singing and chirping away to each other, and I have been doodling and sketching, and experimentiny all morning. Dave went off early to make some more headbands for visors. He’s made thousands so far. Yes. Having given myself a day to contemplate, instead of tear-arsing around from one thing to the next, I conclude that a slower,…
Hi there. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Thanks for popping in. Friday afternoon, been spinning plates all week, trying to keep the good ship Clarity afloat from a safe distance – and together with a few good people, we are actually managing to make ends meet. One day at a time is the only way forward. Grace sent me an article she read in the New York Times yesterday, written by a Manhattan restaurant owner. It was a long…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Blogging on my phone is quite a challenge ! But if I can navigate 3 cameras when streaming Facebook Live every day, whilst doodling intricate hot air balloons – then blogging from a piddly little I-phone must be a cinch! It never ceases to amaze me how much more there is to learn! In all my 61 years, I haven’t even started to scratch the surface! This morning We tackled a new doodle: a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And thanks for doodling along in the SHAC-SHACK this morning. I know we want to doodle perfect doodles, but hey! I’m just happy I CAN STAY HOME SAFE, AND DOODLE AT ALL !!! Don’t get caught up in comparing your doodle-artwork with anybody else’s, and start beating yourself up because “her steps are better than my steps”. Repeat after me: NOT IMPORTANT. IT’S A DOODLE!!! It’s not a competition. I can only speak for…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope you are keeping safe and busy? The sunshine will I hope take you into your garden. Perhaps you can sit in the shade of a tree or umbrella, and craft something lovely, or just do a crossword… And if you don’t have a crossword puzzle at the ready, here’s last weeks offering, created by lovely Hazel Edwards, just for us. The download for it is directly underneath. And directly underneath the download ARE…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe and well? We are rolling with the punches here at Clarity; no sooner have we made a plan than the goal posts get moved again. But we are absolutely in agreement with Downing Street that reducing social contact to an absolute mimimum is the only way forward. We’re all in this together, right? As promised, here’s a wonderful, crystal clear step by step tutorial by Tina . What a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Pretty manic at work today. Rolling with the punches, I think it’s called! As I said yesterday, it’s a challenge! But we have a plan, and we’re trying to get everything set up soonest. In the meantime, let’s just step away from the news, the ever mounting reality that is enveloping us, and switch off, shall we? Call me fickle if you will, but other than avoiding people and washing our hands till the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I hope you are ok, safe and healthy. Once again, it has been quite an intense morning at Clarity Towers. There’s so much to consider, so much to think about. Still lots of laughter and hilarity with Clarity. It’s an excellent coping mechanism, laughter. And we’ve got quite a few team players who could double up as stand up comedians ! At one point Debby and I were larking about in the stamp room,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Friday 13th. Mmm. Unlucky for some? For better or for worse – I was born on Friday 13th! So she’s 61 years young today. How did that happen?!?! One minute she’s 14 years old, walking up and down Darland Avenue because she’s besotted with Alan Garrett who lives at No. 150, and the next she’s married to lovely Dave, lives in East Sussex and runs a craft company! Funny old life, innit. Alan Garrett?…
