Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I hope you are ok, safe and coping okay with the way things are right now. And they are the way they are, so we may as well not fight it, and figure out a safe and sane way through this nightmare. Those of us who are doodling together every morning at 10am on Facebook Live have at least figured out a daily creative diversion, which gives us a little direction at the start…
Hi there. Greeting from the SHAC-Shack! In case you’re wondering, SHAC stands for: Safe – Happy – and – Creative Stay – Home – and – Craft I settled down to finish a little piece of artwork I started last week, when we launched Tina’s beautiful Floral Doodle flowers on HOCHANDA TV, and thought I would step it up and blog it for you. My Mum always calls me her little Daffodil, because I was born in March. How lovely…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope you are keeping safe and busy? The sunshine will I hope take you into your garden. Perhaps you can sit in the shade of a tree or umbrella, and craft something lovely, or just do a crossword… And if you don’t have a crossword puzzle at the ready, here’s last weeks offering, created by lovely Hazel Edwards, just for us. The download for it is directly underneath. And directly underneath the download ARE…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe and well. Monday in the SHAC-Shack, and it’s been a good start to the week. Doodled a bird with a fringe during our 10am Facebook Live Daily Doodle seesion, and had a total giggle fit. You know. One of those real proper ones, when you just can’t stop. Which is better than any medicine, isn’t it? Let me find you the link …. The quality on Youtube isn’t ideal,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Another beautiful day in Paradise? Well, it’s certainly sunny in the southeast. And having chased my tail all day again, it’s time to stop and gather my thoughts for the week ahead, make a plan for our daily doodle sessions and just chill out a bit, before the sun disappears…. Woke up anxious this morning. Decided to avoid the news and just be an island for a day. I consider myself to be quite…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Have you also had a beautiful sunny day where you are? It was glorious here – difficult to comprehend that we are in the grips of something so invisible and sinister, isn’t it. Well, today, it was my turn to work at the new factory. We go in one at a time, and I opted for Saturday. It was the first time I’ve been beyond the garden gate since the Wednesday before last. How…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s been a busy but very good day here above the garage in the Clarity SHAC-Shack. Our daily doodle workouts on Facebook LIVE at 10 am are doing me the power of good actually. And if they’re helping me deal with this self-isolation, then I imagine they’re helping you too. Every morning, as soon as I open my eyes, I have a direction. I know what I’m doing at 10am and where I have…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. How has your day been? Has it been a good day? Or a growing day? With everything that’s going on in the world, it is so very easy to get caught up in the shocking developments both at home and abroad. And if you’re pinned to the news, then you will be soaking up all that collective sadness, fear and awfulness. It’s seeps into your subconscious; it brings you down, makes you anxious –…
Hi there, I hope you are well and keeping safe? Our SHAC campaign SAFEHAPPY ANDCREATIVE/STAYHOMEANDCRAFT is certainly keeping me on my toes! Blimming internet just keeled over this morning, so we had to abandon ship and record it instead. Ironically, the message I had wanted to weave into my patter today was to work with what you’ve got ! Tell you what, God’s got a funny sense of humour! But here’s a little landscapey-bunny doodling session all set for you,…
Hi there Greetings from my little Clarity SHAC-Shack! How are things in your little SHAC-Shack? I do hope you are okay. Our daily Artworkout is going well! So glad you are enjoying it too. I was thinking about the weeks ahead, was thinking that we should really make the most of all this time in isolation (together), to learn different colouring techniques too. Colouring-in is one of THE most mindful, calming pastimes out there. For ANYBODY. But we crafters are…
