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 ….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Early doors here. Revving up for today’s TV shows and off up to the studios again. I’ve just realised something – it’s all about animals! 2 – 4pm Paul and I will be showcasing Cherry Green’s spectacular Under The Sea stamps and Groovi Plates…What a treat! If you like colouring in, you’ll love these! Then at 6pm, we will be launching a collection of superb Fresh Cut dies, designed by our Mel. Are you…
Hi there, First of the month? February already? What is going on ?!? Here we are, hurtling through 2020 at breakneck speed! Still, we do gain a whole day this year – it’s a leap Year after all. 24 extra hours. To be fair, I’d need about 24 extra hours a day for a year to catch up. But there we have it – One day at a time, I will get there, wherever that is… Back to AbFabFabFeb! Up…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well today I get to spend the day with our Sam AND our Lucy. SAM – You’ll be familiar with that name. Been on the Clarity Design team for many years. LUCY is one of our super talented inhouse graphic artists, who took Sam’s sketches and ideas, and turned them into stamp and stencil designs for us. I brought her up to the TV studios for a jolly, so she can see what goes…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Have I mentioned the beautiful new collection of Under The Sea ClarityStamps and Groovi plates designed by Cherry Green? Excited to be showcasing these this weekend! When? Sunday 2-4pm Where? On TV at Hochanda.com The other evening I was in a headspin. You know how it goes. Didn’t want to work anymore, didn’t want to watch the box, wanted to hang out with Dave. Out of sorts with myself, I think it’s called. Needed…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Great day today. Brilliant meeting with the accountant – which was a welcome surprise, I can tell you! Sometimes you just can’t see the spot you’re standing on, and it takes somebody else to size up the situation for you. All this hard work is paying off, I’m happy to report. January is always such a telling month, almost sinister after the happy Christmas period and all the festivities. So many businesses are closing…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. 27th January already? It can’t be! Blimey. I’m still looking at the box of decorations in the dining room which haven’t made it up the loft yet! May as well leave them downstairs at this rate; It’ll be Christmas again before we know it! Had a great day with Tina yesterday. It was good to catch up and have a proper heart to heart. Your flooding Facebook with your artwork using her designs this…
