Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Are you a hat person? Do you wear hats? Does it keep you warm? Well, if you pull it right down, it keeps your ears warm for sure! That old wive’s tale about all the heat escaping out the top of your head is a load of old baloney apparently. But I must admit, I do feel warmer when I cover my head, don’t you? Mel drew a spectacular set of Hats, Shoes and…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. All systems go here, so if I want to calm it Kermit, it’s always best to hide away and get arty for an hour. When I lose myself in being arty-crafty, that washing machine head of mine stops spinning, the voices shut up telling me what to think, and I actually seem leave the vortex that is my life at the moment, and just focus happily on whatever it is I am making. So…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Still blowing a hooley out there tonight. I do hope you are warm, dry and safe. Thought I would do a quick step by step for you, using that wonderful floral bouquet which our lovely Tina illustrated… And it all starts with a piece of copy paper and a Gelpress acrylic print. Now some would say this looks like a piece of scrap (careful!) ; I say if you don’t like the English weather,…
Hi there. Blustery Sunday, or what?! Actually, blustery doesn’t touch the sides, but this storm too shall pass. I’m writing extra quickly, because we are experiencing multiple power cuts, and whilst I actually quite enjoy no TV, candlelight and a log fire, blogging poses quite a challenge! So. How about a Gilding Flake Sale – A PROPER, TOO GOOD TO MISS, Sale? There are 2 bundles, each with 5 pots of Pentart gilding flakes, the glue you need and a…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Had a smashing day today, in the company of a handsome young man. Bit haughty for me, but nice enough fella. I suppose his aloofness is a kind of defence mechanism. Name’s Captain Wentworth. Anne blew him out and now he’s back on the scene…. They’ve actually both been keeping me company all day, while I’ve been crafting and getting ahead of the TV shows next weekend. Saturday 15th : 11am 2pm 4pm I…
Hi there, Friday’s blog a private peek – and I wannatellyoualittlestory… Communication. We all communicate differently. Some of us are direct, some of us speak in inference. Some of us hear literally, some of us read between the lines. Please allow me to expound… If my Mum says “Would you like a cup of tea?” she is usually poised in the kitchen by the kettle, and is offering to make a cup of tea for you. If I say to…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got home from the TV. Thank you so much for watching and supporting our Pergamano shows today! So glad you liked Mel’s new plates too. They really are so versatile and pretty! To find them on our website, click here: Mels’ Floral Arch Groovi Plates Here are just a few of the lovely samples created by our ever clever Design Team. Maybe next week I shall step up the lovely artwork which Linda…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Took a day off work today. Felt a bit under par and also needed to regroup. You and I know that running round like a blue-arsed fly is no solution; yet I’m getting caught up in a constant stream of work, tv shows, work. I know, I know. Choices, choices, choices. Since I’m are trundling off back up to Hochanda for the 3rd time in a week this evening with Paul, in readiness for…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Long day today. Been a day of meetings and forward planning. It’s Show time soon. And I mean GLASGOW SECC here we come! Haven’t been to the Scottish show for years, and am really looking forward to it. The NEC falls a week later than usual, so we can do both for once. SECC Glasgow. March 5th-8th NEC Birmingham. March 19th – 22nd So Brother Steve, Tom, Paul and I were going through spreadsheets…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been a crazy busy few days. Haven’t felt well to be honest; half the staff are off sick with the lurgie, so I guess it’s my turn. Woke up with all the best intentions, all set to chase off back for the 9am TV show. But sometimes you just have to give in, listen to your body. Fortunately, Paul was there to keep calm and carry on, and I trundled down the motorway ….
