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…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been working away, preparing a bunch of Hochanda TV Demos next week. We’ve got shows every day from Wednesday to Saturday, I think! Yikes. Just want to get ahead of the curve – you really don’t know what’s round the corner, do you? So best to get what you can done done! Also had a good sort out and tidy up here in our little SHAC Shack. It’s been getting progressively worse as the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Glad to be here today. Glad I was born when I was; glad I was born where I was. If this pandemic has taught me anything, anything at all, it is that I have to think positive, be positive and act positive. Think gratitude, do gratitude. Guard against negative people with negative ideas and MAKE A CREATIVE PLAN. At the same time however, I feel a real need to take stock of what VE…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Pergathursday on HOCHANDA today! Sold out of that lovely new Rose Arch Groovi Plate, designed by Linda Williams. Very nice too! The Groovi-Pergamano community is certainly growing. I think a lot of crafters and creative people are figuring out just how mindful and relaxing parchment work is – especially using the Groovi system. And there}s no time like the present if you’re wanting to learn a new skillset! Blimey! You’ve certainly got the time!!…
