Hi there Thanks for popping in. Glorious sunny day here in the southeast of little ol’ England. If I write fast, I may even get to sit in the garden for an hour, so forgive the spelling as I whizz across the keyboard!! Tomorrow we’re back on HOCHANDA at 6pm with a lovely ODS: it’s our Poetry Plates. They are very special. Mel and I drew the frames when we went to France one year with the Design team, and…
Hi there. Hope you are safe and well? After spending the day with my parents yesterday, I’m back firmly holed up here in my Shac-Shack. Started the Cockadoodledoodle with everybody at 10am this morning! That’ll be fun. I do enjoy pencil colouring. What makes me decide which direction to take on our Daily Doodle trips? What sends me off to New Mexico or Japan or Carmel or wherever? Simple. I open my eyes and I look for signs. How did…
Hi there, Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are safe and well? Me? I had a brilliant day today. A super day. You know that feeling when you’ve done something really good? Well, I have that now. You see, I crossed the line today. I went to my parents’ house, to deliver their groceries, but we made the decision to let me into their home again. It was a decision we made in the week, quite simply because my Mum…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. On call here in the SHAC-Shack back at base, while lovely Paula works on the Clarity Shows up at the HOCHANDA studios at 11am and 1pm, and I join in with a Skype connection where I can, to support her. So while I wait until 1pm for the next TV-Skype call, I thought I would hang out with my buddies here in Blogland. The 1pm show is very close to my heart. To those…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Having spent a virtual week in new mexico, I am ready to retire out there! I have so enjoyed our doodle trip to Albuquerque. Does the soul good. I could have stayed there for at least another week, but hey ho. Maybe in a while we can revisit , and take another look from a different angle. The diversity and beauty in New Mexico will keep us enchanted – encantada – for the rest…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How are you? How are you coping? Good days and growing days. The daily Doodle sessions are creating a shift in me, if I may say so. Never having been a confident person, I usually tend to morph into various personalities, depending on who I am with. Even my dialect and choice of words will change if you’re posh and don’t swear. But now I am alone in the room above the garage, day…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. For three days now we have been doodling a dream catcher in the SHAC-Shack. Today we were working on the dangly feathers. I can only speak for myself, but I have found the last 3 days in the SHAC-Shack an absolute pleasure. Perhaps it’s because we are on tour in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment; perhaps the spiritual energy from that lovely place has worked its magic in our souls. Wouldn’t that be…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Following on from yesterday’s blog, I want to highlight the second set of Doodle Stamps from our SHAC-Shack mornings together. We decided to go with the Hot air balloon and added a really cool separate frame stamp. So with the help of the additional masks, you can build scenes, with or without the balloon, with or without the rolling hills and trees. Yes. This set is very, VERY versatile. I have had a really…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Got something very special to show you, something fresh out of the oven, something which we have made, and which is coming up next Saturday on Hochanda at 1pm in a special one hour show…. Let’s see if you recognise it…. Yep! Here’s how it happened.. Every time we’ve done a doodle session, which is every day for weeks, afterwards when Paul and I are discussing how it went, he says, “your doodle would…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Working above the garage in our SHAC shack again today, keeping busy. Recorded all the Hochanda demos for Wednesday 1pm and Thursday 5pm, which gets me ahead of the curve tomorrow. More importantly, it keeps me occupied, keeps my mind from wandering. So not only am I doing something constructive in a bid to keep the good Ship Clarity afloat – my own thoughts are focussed on the task at hand. Which is a…
