Hi there. Thanks for popping in, and thanks for watching HOCHANDA today if you did. The LIVE Skype is most definitely the way forward. It feels almost as though we are in the room with the presenter – but we’re still safe at home. Which is where I have to stay if I am going to be able to visit my parents and look after them. That’s my choice, of course. Those 2-way Christmas Baubles of ours are such a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? A few weeks ago, when things were really getting on top of me, my darling friend Linda Williams sent me a bunch of fabulous flowers. Or should I say box? They came from London. Freddies Flowers is the name of the company. They were amazing flowers, and lasted ages! I was so impressed I decided to investigate the company…. So. Freddies Flowers is a family run business out…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s been a challenging day today, or should we say a growing day. Yes. A Growing Day. I‘ve grown loads. No water, and no microphone No water is just an inconvenience which will be resolved, but out of our hands. No microphone. The lapel mic died. Just stopped speaking to the computer. Jim tried his best remotely, but to no avail. So unfortunately, the SHAC-Shack was very quiet today. In fact, it was SILENT!…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Way too hot to stay in here blogging! I is meltin!!! But I wanted to blog the Groovi Step by step to completion which we started on HOCHANDA today, but didn’t have time to finish. Can you read pictures? Good! Because I am dripping here, so will just post the pics!! You can fill in the instructions!! Pretend you‘re me, get your London hat on and read out the How-To as you go through…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Too hot today. Not able to think properly, so shall retreat to a cool kitchen once I’ve written to you. Even the tits are in hiding! The blue tits girls, the blue tits!! Behave!!! But the butterflies and dragonflies are out in force, which is lovely… Mel’s garden bird stamps (thus named because we weren’t allowed to say tits on telly), are among my favourites. As I mentioned this morning in the SHAC Shack, we…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Long day, up to HOCHANDA after our SHAC-Shack, for an important meeting. Then back again. So grateful that Dave drove me up there. Good man. 9 hour round trip. That’ll do! It’s the furthest we’ve been since the pandemic kicked in in March. No stopping for fuel, no stopping for a pee break or a coffee or a snack – NADA. There and back. How things have changed. To be honest, I was actually…
Hi there! Thanks for joining me. Been prepping TV demos for the LIVE SKYPE SESSIONS on Wednesday 1pm. After Paul’s stellar performance last Thursday, I’m all excited about quasi being back in the building. Let me share some of the fantastic new stamps and ideas with you – I LOVE these!!! You may recognise them from Linda’s Groovi Heart Sampler plate, which will also be being showcased. Partial Art on Stamp Board here. Bunting, fridge magnets, dangles …Simply stamp any…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Hotter than yesterday here in the Southeast. To hot to move around much, except for a long walk, cool under the canopy of the greenwood trees. That was wonderful. It’s been what one could call a mini holiday actually. A combination of extreme heat and our friend Jilly’s company stopped me hopping about, working, cleaning, planning, doing bla bla bla. In fact, Wurka and Hollick didn’t get a look in today. I even had…
Hi there, Too hot to play in the SHAC-Shack under the roof here today! We kept going at work all afternoon, but it was over 37ºC. That’s nearly 100º Fahrenheit! Is it a record? Is it an all time hottest day in UK history? Who cares. It was too hot to tango for this old bird… So I shall go sit in the shade with Dave and Jilly, who’s hanging out with us this weekend. Maybe we’ll go for a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s all go here! Didn’t the Live Pergamano Skype with Paul and Hochanda work well?! Top banana. He’s got the same cameras and kit at Clarity Towers as mine in the SHAC-Shack now. Much better being able to flick between cameras, innit. Thank you for watching and supporting us too. Those embroidery plates are delightful – and actually very achievable. Me? I’ve been working on one of the Stamp Club Projects this afternoon. All…
