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 popping in. Well, you lovely Groovi boys and girls! Have we got something special in store for you! Linda Williams has done it again! On Sunday at 6pm on HOCHANDA, we are launching a wonderful collection of Groovi children plates. Linda has created two sets of Spring Summer Autumn and Winter plates – one for the girls and one for the boys. They are just delightful. Take a look…. And the best news is that Linda…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Before I head off down the woodland path to clear the old head and blow away the cobwebs, I though I’d share what I’m currently working on: a fabulous pair of Mixed Media Woodland Stamp backgrounds. You know – those superb A5 Mixed Impressions stamps we make. Well, in keeping with our woodland doodles last week, here are 2 sets of fantastic woodland backgrounds to stamp and doodle into. Literally. It’s amazing what you…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. So glad this morning’s water colour SHAC-Shack was well received! I think we’ll have a good week, developing those new ideas and perhaps trying them out on different subjects! I had a real hankering to colour in our toadstools from last week’s woods, but was way too busy with so much else all afternoon. I saw somebody else on facebook had done it too, beautifully, and wanted to try it even…
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. I’d like to introduce you to a very simple but oh so brilliant addition to our Clarity product palette: our new Stampboard shapes. The material is like top quality mountboard. Porous, super smooth and fantastic for stamping on. We have it available in 4 different shapes, and each shape comes in 3 different sizes, large medium and small. When you buy the stampboard, you always get 5 of each size. In other words, you’ll…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been doodling in the SHAC-Shack woods all week, and gearing up for the super special launch of our new Pergamano range of Poppet Stamps, illustrated by the very clever Russian artist Marina Fedotova. These images are licensed by ourselves worldwide, and for those of you who make cards and craft items to sell, we have it in writing that you can use these images no problem to HANDMAKE items in small quantities, and for…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. My computer was in dire need of an update, and the Facebook Live recordings needed moving to an external hard drive, so Jim came over to the house after our doodle session this morning to sort it out. Who knew that we would all still be hanging out together every day at 10am, 16 weeks in and going stronger than ever! Anyway, I left him to it and went to pottery for a little…
Hi there. Thamks for popping in. Lovely weather we’re having here in the Southeast. For those who have a garden, this is a perfect day. Not to hot, not too cold, not too windy, just a slight occasional breeze. Cannot wait to see my parents this afternoon, and hang out with them in their lovely garden. If the pandemic has taught me one thing (actually it has been a HUGE learning curve for this old bird – at so many…
