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…
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. Been a creative, constructive, uplifting day here. Spent the morning in my little Wendy house, prepping for tomorrow’s SHAC Shack Doodle session at 10am. Really looking forward to this coming week now I know where the bus is headed! Not going too far afield this time. I think a Staycation is in order, don’t you? Then I went for a long walk with Mel and her dogs. It rained a little, but that was…
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. Thanks for popping in. It’s been quite a week in the SHAC-Shack, colouring in our Owls. Judging from the progress snapshots of Clarity Worldwide, i’d say you enjoyed it too. Don’t you get a real buzz when something turns out that well? I haven’t finished mine, but I am chuffed thus far too. Here is my little parliament before the Nightsky session today… And here they after after… Still got a bit to do, but tawittawoo! I am…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been beavering away this afternoon, prepping for the 1pm TV Show on Saturday . That’s our SHAC-Shack hour, sandwiched between Linda’s fabulous Groovi Owls. She’s designed a couple of new Christmas ones, which Paul and Linda will showcase together at 11am and 3pm. This little piggy here is in charge of the 1pm show. Thing is, there’s so much to show you! I’ve done so many demos! And I know an hour’s just not…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Dropped a pot at pottery today. It was a good one too. Had thrown it, turned it, initialed it, and was just putting it on the TO FIRE shelf – and it jumped out of my hands and hit the floor. Fortunately, I was wearing a mask, so nobody could really hear the expletives, but there was a lot of effing and blinding! I certainly didn’t say “Oopsadaisy. Butterfingers!” Never mind. It was one…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. The diet is changing direction here…. Did you know that you can eat dandelions? Yummy! Very good for you apparently… In traditional Chinese and Native American medicine, dandelion root is used to treat stomach and liver conditions. Herbalists believe that it can aid in the treatment of many ailments: acne, eczema, high cholesterol, heartburn, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and even cancer. Certainly cheaper than over the counter drugs, eh?! Tomorrow at 1pm and 5pm, dandelions are on the HOCHANDA menu too! A la…
