Hi there, Happy Friday! We are off up to the palace to visit the Queen today. I wish!! No no . We are off up to London in the van to set up our stand at Alexandra Palace! That’s more realistic, innit! It’s a big operation, getting up there nowadays. We’ve got so much clobber! Back in the day, when we just sold stamps I remember being able to set up in exactly one and a half hours on the…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s been a long time coming, this Groovi floral alphabet. But it’s coming together very nicely now. 26 pretty little letters, each depicting flowers pertaining to their letter. As you can see though, we have added upper and lower case letters to each plate too. Paul and I are putting the finishing touches on the demos ready for Sunday evening, and today I think I’d like to show you the quintessence of teamwork. A…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Paul has just left, after a long session prepping the TV shows on Sunday and Monday. Dave is keeping supper simmering on the stove until I call it a day up here. Linda is up in Peterborough with Rob, preparing the TV set, in readiness for the Pergamano Show at 8am tomorrow morning. She is doing all 3 hours on her own, just with a presenter, so that I am able to get on…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I did a little youtube for you, using those flower stamps that I drew recently, with the stone walls and log piles and such. Remember? They were so popular! We’ve only just about caught about with production!! As always, the things I used in the video will be reduced in price for the week, until the next YouTube is posted next Tuesday. If you like these stamps, but were…

Each Monday of the month we showcase one of them. Last…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mums out there! My Mum and Dad are coming over soon for lunch, so I’d best get in the kitchen and help Dave! My own kids live too far away to come for lunch. But hey ho. That’s the way the cookie crumbles and all that jazz. Paul’s pedalling away on HOCHANDA today, showcasing those lovely floral layering stamps and groovi designs by our Tina. If you caught…

Can I share my day with you? I…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Loved watching Leonie work her magic with these wonderful new round and open stencils. That’s why they‘re called CIRCUS, you know. Circus is Latin for ring, circle. And when you look at these fantastical ring stencils, the words Happy and Circus certainly spring to mind – without acrobats and clowns! Then there were those cheeky stamps! How cool they are! So very Leonie! Very popular too….. Now those Grey board sets are pretty special,…

Doodling is so very therapeutic and relaxing. It…
